Survey shows high satisfaction with Waimate’s kerbside services

As New Zealand prepares for far-reaching kerbside recycling changes coming next year, communities can take heart from an early adopter like Waimate District Council.


In 2021, Enviro NZ joined forces with Waimate, Mackenzie and Timaru district councils to launch a four-bin service – providing South Canterbury residents with improved kerbside collections for rubbish, mixed recycling, glass and organics. The service corresponds with the government’s new standardised kerbside recycling strategy, which gets underway from February 2024.


In a survey out this week, Waimate residents have given their council’s enhanced recycling and waste services a big tick.


85% of respondents were satisfied or very satisfied with its rubbish collection services, compared with 68% before the new system was launched – the rate of satisfaction was the highest in New Zealand. What’s more, satisfaction with Waimate’s recycling service has jumped from 64% to 80%.


Enviro NZ is proud to be part of a joint effort that delivers core services that are highly valued in the community.
