Auckland Council’s submission to proposed waste legislation changes – local board feedback |
|
|
Resolution number MT/2025/58 MOVED by Member N Henry, seconded by Member T Woodcock: That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board: toai / reiterate the following feedback provided by the local board:
a) further advocacy to central government is needed to ensure greater product stewardship is introduced, so that product manufacturers are responsible for the cost of waste they are producing and encouraged to create innovative solutions to minimise waste created by their products and its packaging b) Auckland Council needs to build community trust in waste services, particularly making sure that what is put into to recycling bins is recycled responsibly. Further waste education and public engagement is needed to support our communities around what waste can be disposed of in respective bins c) reducing kerbside collections to fortnightly once food scraps collections are embedded could have unintended consequence of increased dumping d) support Auckland’s zero-waste vision by 2040 by: working towards a circular economy using resources for their best and highest value for as long as possible taking care of people and the environment e) support empowering partnerships with iwi and community and provide the following input: i) support continuing to expand and strengthen the resource recovery network and its services ii) note the inequities in disposing waste, particularly inorganic waste, on lower socio-economic communities. Cost can be a barrier to disposing waste responsibly and there are barriers given the limited free inorganic collection services iii) partnering with Community Recycling Centres to find solutions with the community to reduce the illegal dumping of inorganic waste f) support targeting specific activities and materials, and provide the following input: i) recommend encouraging independent waste collection companies, servicing businesses and apartments, to reduce waste, recycle and compost ii) support addressing Construction and Demolition Waste and Priority Materials iii) recommend the Auckland Council Group and external entities such as Kainga Ora and Tāmaki Redevelopment Company to procure Community Recycling Centres for deconstruct projects g) support advocacy for future action, including: i) moving up the waste hierarchy, to circular management of waste ii) implementation of Product Stewardship actions (including the Container Return Scheme) h) provide the following points in delivering direct action: i) support accelerating efforts to minimise operational waste from the Auckland Council Group ii) support addressing litter and illegal dumping in our community, noting the local boards feedback on community recycling centres being crucial in these efforts iii) note there is a need to provide affordable and accessible waste management options to alleviate the financial barriers faced by lower socio-economic communities and ensure equitable access to waste management services iv) provide further education and engagement with communities on correct bin usage i) oppose the shift to fortnightly Rubbish Collection, noting: i) community education is needed to encourage behaviour shift in utlising the food-waste collection and minimising waste to landfill, before shifting to fortnightly Rubbish Collection ii) 44% of the local views do not support the fortnightly rubbish collections iii) community concern that fortnightly collection does not cater to odour of waste such as nappies, sanitary products, and pet waste iv) community concern that fortnightly collection will increase illegal dumping and use of neighbouring bins j) recommend that if the shift to fortnightly Rubbish Collection is approved, the larger bin options proposed are provided free of charge, and the smaller bins that are replaced are reused to mitigate these going to landfill. |
