Hi there!
Today I will be sharing my reading comprehension after reading a Stuff article about Christchurch's issues with recycling. Here is a link to the article.
What % of rubbish causes a recycling truck to be dumped?
If a recycling truck has 10% of rubbish in it’s overall load, it will be rejected and sent off to the landfill and be used as rubbish, not recycling.
What is going into people’s recycling bins?
Dead animals, nappies, seatbelts, chainsaws and lots and lots of items which cannot be recycled.
What is the current penalty?
If residents aren’t recycling properly, they will get three warnings from the council to improve their recycling. If they don’t the bins will be removed from the resident’s property. To get their bin back, the residents will need to pay a $97.65 fine and sign that they will obey the recycling rules.
Do you agree?
I think that it is good that residents get three warnings before their bins are taken away. It gives them a chance to improve and not have to worry about paying a fine to get it back.
What do you suggest?
I think that the current app made by the council should get more attention and be advertised more so that people can install it and know what can go in what bin with a simple click of a button rather than needing to research on their own.
Thanks for reading!
