Draft Waste Management and MinimisationPlan
Our waste…..our challenge
The Wanganui District Council has prepared a Draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan for this district in line with the requirements of the Waste Minimisation Act 2008.
This draft plan intends to make environmentally sustainable practice easy, accessible, attractive, efficient and cost-effective. This should mean better services, better costs and better uptake.
The draft plan envisions:
‘A family friendly district where people have access to services that encourage individual and community responsibility for sustainable waste minimisation.’
It sets a target of 60% reduction of waste to landfill by 2015.
The draft plan supports the following key goals:
- Council investigates enhanced opportunities for waste minimisation at the kerbside.
- Council supports and encourages waste reduction, reuse and recycling.
- Individuals and businesses are supported and encouraged to take greater responsibility for waste minimisation.
Council wants to hear what you think about its proposed efforts to improve waste management and minimisation services. You can do this by making a submission on the framework and strategies of the draft plan. Council will take your views into account when finalising the plan.
