Waimakariri District Council, NZ kerbside recycling audit
Waimakariri District Council conducted an audit of kerbside recycling bins to reduce contaminates. Residents received information packs reviewing common rubbish items that are non-recyclable along with an updated recycling bin lid sticker. Auditors left a flyer explaining whether the household bin was "spot on" or "could do better" but badly contaminated bins were not collected. Residents that continuously placed rubbish in their recycling bins had their bin removed but were still charged.

In the first week of the checks, 24% of bins were too contaminated to collect. The Council provided these residents with information about what can and can't be recycled, and after follow up checks, contamination dropped to just 8% resulting in an overall improvement of 66%.
