FOGO Collection Delayed: Rotorua Council Seeks Alternative Suppliers
Description
Rotorua Lakes Councils food and garden organics collection service, initially set for July 1st, has been delayed due to supply issues with specialized bin materials. The council is working with their waste contractor to find alternative suppliers and establish a new timeline. The goal remains to convert organic waste into biogas, energy, and fertilizer at the Ecogas plant in Reporoa. The fortnightly rubbish plan has also sparked controversy, with an online petition gaining nearly four thousand signatures from residents concerned about overflowing bins and summer smells. The council is committed to reducing landfill waste and rising disposal costs.
