Council's rubbish responsibility

With March coming, I hope the glass collection bins proposed are an interim solution only and we are only hearing half the story through the media. It's a bit like the central governments where's Winnie? Where's the manager of Environmental Services?

The council has five responsibilities: rates, reserves and recreation, roads, rubbish and water. Many solutions are available for this recycling issue, as undertaken by NZ's other local governments. These solutions should have been investigated and implemented before Waste Management glass collection service removal.

At this stage I do not see the council fulfilling its responsibility towards rubbish collection or rubbish environmental goals. Until the council fulfil their responsibilities, all non-essential services such as a museum need to be re-assessed.
