Rubbish around Paengaroa Members of our community gave a clear message that they were concerned about the increasing level of rubbish littering our road sides and also within kiwifruit orchards. There was a feeling that this increased within the period when seasonal workers are present within our communities. Thanks to our “two Angels” who keep the cycleway clear of rubbish
Strategy
Strategy
- Communicate with NZ Kiwifruit Growers to highlight the issue and ask for your assistance in getting the message to preferably ALL those employed in the kiwifruit industry - that we value our clean green image and would appreciate them doing their bit for the communities where they work and live.
- Developing some posters/boards to go by rubbish bins within our community with the picture of a bee and the caption Bee tidy! Rubbish beelongs in the bin!
- Involve the primary schools in doing some promotion when these are launched
- Involve the local media.
- Communicate with Western Bay of Plenty District Council re WESTLINK picking up the rubbish on the side of the roads – which has just been done.
- Lobby Western Bay District Council to provide an area that the green bags can be collected from.
