Kick it in the butt!

Cigarette butts make up a huge amount of litter that ends up in our streams and waterways. Once discarded they are light enough to be blown about by the wind and transported by water before breaking down. Nowdays in NZ all indoor public places are smoke free and many outdoor areas have designated smoking areas, meaning the butts can be contained for proper disposal. If you are looking for a simple (and attractive) idea to containe cigarette butts in your work or place of buisness check out “Smoking Station” www.cigarettebuttlitter.com

On July 1st a new act that came into effect, aimed at getting people in the Manawatu to recycle more. The Waste Management and Minimisation Act would leave the floor open for local community to come up with innovative recycling and waste reduction ideas.

Under the act, councils or residents who take rubbish to a landfill will be charged $10 per ton of rubbish on top of the regular dumping fee, meaning every $10 collected, $3.77 will be returned to the council. From that $3.77, the council can hold on to 50% with the other $1.89 going into a nationwide contestable fund.

District and regional councils can then apply for money from the fund and will be granted it if they can prove they have an innovative idea that will help reduce waste, this is encouraging for entrepreneurs with competitive ideas.

The council will be competing against other councils for funding so ideas would have to be sharp. Get your creative juices flowing and come up with some great ideas, try visiting:
