We’re working on a plan for waste

Tasman District and Nelson City Councils have a shared waste plan which sets a pathway for how everyone in our communities can reduce or avoid waste, and we’re now consulting on an updated version.

Waste affects us all every day in many ways. Whether it’s improving recycling, finding solutions for commercial waste, responding to challenges such as disaster waste management or what to do with building waste – it’s something most of us have opinions on.

We’ve drafted a new strategy to look at all these areas and we’re excited about the opportunities to do more in the future. We’ve put together a summary of the key opportunities, and you can see the whole plan on Shape Tasman.

Among other things, we’re looking at new targets and what services might be needed to meet them, who needs to be involved, and what types of waste we should focus on.

We want to know, “Have we got the balance right or have we missed something?”

Get involved and have your say before Friday 7 March.
