Porirua council threatens to confiscate bins from shoddy recyclers
Porirua City Council is threatening to confiscate recycling bins from people who repeatedly put rubbish in them, as part of a crackdown on recycling contamination.
The council has launched a team of “recycling ambassadors” who will go around checking the contents of recycling bins before they are collected.
Stuff understands that the material being put out includes raw meat and used nappies.
The number of contaminated items in the recycling has been rising in several areas throughout the city, costing between $6000 and $8000 a month to remove.
Do you think it is fair to confiscate recycling bins?
