Christchurch recycling headed to landfill after residents use bins wrong

From Morning Report, 8:46 am on 10 June 2020

A campaign to stop Christchurch households from using their recycling bins to dump their smelly non-recyclable waste, is so far failing to change peoples' behaviour.

On Monday close to half of all recycling collected in Otautahi had to be taken to the landfill, up from a third of recycling on Friday.
