Hamilton City Council will roll out its new wheeled bin and more recycling options service from July 2020, which includes replacing the current black bag collection with separate wheeled bins for rubbish and recycling, a smaller separate food waste collection bin and using the existing recycling crates for glass only.
Waste Minimisation Advisor Charlotte Catmur says the current recycling service, which was established in 2002, is no longer ‘fit for purpose’ so the new service will be a major step forward for the city aligning it with other leading Councils in New Zealand. As part of the new service there will be assisted collections to help physically impaired or elderly residents and special services for intensive housing areas that cannot be serviced effectively through this kerbside collection service.
The new service is designed to increase Hamilton’s recycling rate from 29 per cent (by weight) to 50 per cent, which would mean diverting more than 100,000 tonnes of waste from landfill in the 10 years from 2020/21.

I've been contacted by a coach from a children's rugby team who regularly plays at Te Kowhai Village Green (the park opposite the dairy).
They've asked that I send a note out to all community members who take their dogs to the park and ask for you to PLEASE pick up your dog mess.

It is becoming a real problem apparently. Children are ending up getting muckier than they planned when playing sports.
Please be a tidy community member and clean up your dog poo.
