Waste minimisation

Time to ditch your old computer? Update your old school i-pod? Taupo District Council is on a mission to help us all do this responsibly.

E-waste is a global issue and we want to introduce a service to help us all dispose of our electronics in a more environmentally responsible way. The initiative aims to provide the opportunity for us all as a community to recycle these products with a view to preventing 30 tonnes of e-waste going into landfill each year.

This is just one part of our new Waste Minimisation Plan and we want your feedback!

This plan is reviewed every six years with a view to protecting our health and to safeguard the Taupo District.

We all have a responsibility to look after the place we love, and you can help by sharing your thoughts, whether it be kerbside collection, the promotion and education of waste reduction or simply picking up after ourselves.

Submissions on our Waste Management Minimisation Plan are now open and close April 16, 2018 at 5pm.
