Do you think our Waste Minimisation and Management Plan (WMMP) is on the right track?
Yes
Do you agree with our proposal to adopt a zero waste attitude across the district by 2038?
Yes
Do you have any further comments on the WMMP?
I have recently heard that some councils throughout NZ, Australia and UK offer a rebate to people who purchase reusables such as cloth nappies and menstrual products, as an incentive to help reduce the large volume of waste that disposable items such as nappies create.
Rebates/starter packs seem like a good incentive for other families and I wonder whether, if not already doing, the Matamata Piako District Council would be open to an incentive as such? We are part of a playcentre group in Morrinsville and would love to see something like this available to parents.
