Rubbish plans

Organisers of big outdoor events in Wellington could soon be required to say how they will recycle the rubbish left afterwards. New rules proposed for outdoor events with more than 1000 people are being considered this week in the council’s Solid Waste Management and Minimisation bylaw. Under it, organisers will have to submit a plan to the council at least 10 working days before an event outlining plans to deal with waste.
