FAQs

Why the change from a full sized calendar to a leaflet?

The key point of the calendar for Council is to let people know which day each bin is collected. We can achieve this in a more cost-effective and eco-friendly way as a leaflet.

Where will the money go that was used for the full sized calendars?

The past couple of calendars with a waste minimisation focus used funding that came from the Ministry for the Environment. If we receive funding from them again, it can be used on other waste minimisation initiatives.

Why can’t we go back to getting free calendars with district scenery?

Producing calendars not only involves the printing and delivery costs, but also staff time spent designing the calendars. Additionally, it is hard to anticipate how many calendars will be needed and we have ended up with some left over in previous years. We’d rather avoid this waste in the future.
