Plain-English summary

Selwyn District Council is consulting on its Draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan, including future kerbside collection options from 1 July 2029.

Read the official consultation material for the detailed proposal, supporting documents and submission method.

Why it matters

Food waste, garden waste and recyclable materials make up an average 55% of material in Selwyn red bins.

Food and garden waste sent to landfill produces greenhouse gases and loses nutrients that could enrich soils.

Waste sent to landfill puts pressure on landfill and increases costs for the community.

Who may care

  • Selwyn households
  • People using Selwyn kerbside waste and recycling services

How to make a submission

  1. Read the official consultation material.
  2. Submit feedback through the official consultation page before the closing date.
