Overview
Solid Waste
It is difficult to summarise management of solid waste with no trend data. However, Council is monitoring leachate from the landfills, and has implemented a programme for promoting recycling and has good data of waste tonnages since 1993. Council shreds and utilises greenwaste as part of its management of the landfill site at Matamata, and encourages residents of the District to do likewise. |
