Tauranga Rubbish Theft.

Robert from Greerton - Parkvale

Have your say on the Tauranga Rubbish Decision!
The rubbish debacle information rollout continues. What has the Council signed the ratepayers up to? Is the Council only passing on the cost from Envirowaste or is it adding a large markup to this figure? All this for a reduced service rubbish pickup. And still, no Pay as You Throw option. This is the only real way to minimise rubbish. WBOP chose a Pay as You Throw scheme.

Papamoa Residents & Ratepayers Association has an Online Petition for ratepayers to record their views on the rubbish decision. The results will be presented to the Council in a public forum.

Go to www.taurangarubbishoptions.com... to have your say or www.papamoaresidents.co.nz...

Can you publicise the following? Send to your friends, neighbours, Facebook groups. We need 5000 participants. Cut and paste this text into an email.

Thank you

And don't forget that the ratepayers are fronting with the $8 million dollars to buy the bins, something we have never had to do before and a subsidy to envirowaste. That is after they steal your waste and the rightful business of the current contractors for no compensation. The council neither own your waste nor do they own the collection system. Theft on a grand scale.
