Investigate and facilitate regional collaboration with iwi, industry, businesses, and community groups by utilising already established activities, e.g., virtual/in-person networking events, etc.

Making diversion of waste from landfill easy

What actions are most important to you to keep waste out of landfills.

Align services available at transfer stations across the region. Investigate alternative options to manage waste streams/materials that take up most volume in the region's landfills and transfer stations. Assess the region’s best options for construction and demolition material recovery. Assess the region's best organic waste collection and processing option in line with central government's direction. Investigate the volumes and impacts of waste from tourism to develop options for how to manage waste from tourism. None of the above.

Please select all that apply.

What would encourage you to keep more waste out of landfills?

Emergency preparedness

How can we strengthen our waste infrastructure and services on the West Coast to be more resilient in an emergency or disaster?
