Council Staff responsible if recycling target not met

The ODT reports that Dunedin residents may have rates increases if they do not increase recycling when the new recycling scheme comes in.

If there are rates increases because the budgeted target for the new recycling plan are not met, then it is the responsibility of the Council staff who planned this project. They were told that large wheelie bins were not suitable for many Dunedin properties because of space and access issues. Many people will chose the medium-size wheelie-bin. And many more will stop recycling all-together because the option of a small bin was removed from the new recycling scheme.
