Each community meeting will include a presentation on the Draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan and what it means for residents, information handouts, an opportunity for questions and answers, as well as an outline of how you can give your feedback.

Background:

Auckland Council has developed the first Auckland-wide draft plan to deal with waste in Auckland.

To help Council succeed, we need to:

· deliver waste services more efficiently

· find better ways to recover and re-use resources, and

· send less waste to landfill.


Auckland Council is proposing a range of streamlined services and new initiatives to meet these objectives. And we'd like to know what you think about them.

Having your say:
