From Afternoons, 1:10 pm on 16 August 2022

A new scheme in Tauranga has, within 12 months, nearly halved the amount of waste going to landfill.

The city council added extra bins for kerbside collection to separate out food scraps, recycling, rubbish and garden waste.

Sustainability and Waste Manager at Tauranga City Council Sam Fellows talks to Jesse about the scheme's success.
