Kapiti Coast District Council, NZ conducts a one-year trial of public recycling stations
Kapiti Coast District Council is conducting a one-year trial of a new recycling station installed at Maclean Park. The trial was designed to reduce landfill waste and combat littering by improving public access to a recycling station. The success of the trial is dependent on residents properly sorting their waste and only inserting recyclable material into the station. Following a successful trial, the Council will evaluate the cost of expanding the recycling stations to other public spaces.
