we use Porirua daily waste Laurie - been good to us and you can chuck anything (except building rubble) in the bin]]> Mon, 15 Nov 2010 21:24:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36691&PID=1200858&title=question-for-wellingtonians-rubbish#1200858 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36691&PID=1200833&title=question-for-wellingtonians-rubbish#1200833 Author: KiwiL

Thanks happymumma - the fortnightly collection with Gordies is a bit cheaper than other places I have found.

We have a really large lawn which we need to mow fortnightly, so this seems like a good option for us.

Thanks for all your help!]]> Mon, 15 Nov 2010 21:08:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36691&PID=1200833&title=question-for-wellingtonians-rubbish#1200833 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36691&PID=1200821&title=question-for-wellingtonians-rubbish#1200821 Author: tishy

We used Gordies when living in Churton Park. They were great.

We're with Daily Waste now as Gordies don't do the southern suburbs]]> Mon, 15 Nov 2010 20:54:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36691&PID=1200821&title=question-for-wellingtonians-rubbish#1200821 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36691&PID=1200764&title=question-for-wellingtonians-rubbish#1200764 Author: happymumma

We use 2 green bins plus 2 plastic bags but we have 6 people here.

Just re read our letter - yeah one bin!

Yeah, we're in Tawa and we're getting a bin in March. But it's just one bin for all recycling except glass (which we will still use the little green bin for).

We already recycle everything we can but we're going through more than a bag a week. It's quite disgusting how much rubbish we end up with.]]> Mon, 15 Nov 2010 19:43:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36691&PID=1200750&title=question-for-wellingtonians-rubbish#1200750 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36691&PID=1200741&title=question-for-wellingtonians-rubbish#1200741 Author: High9

Where abouts in WGTN are you? Next year they are introducing Weelie bins (maybe 2-3) so one for bottles, one for paper, one for other stuff (like in Chch); we got a letter about it, saying it would be introduced in March but because we have a steep drive down to our house they weren't sure if we'd be keen and if we'd like to keep using bags. ]]> Mon, 15 Nov 2010 19:36:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36691&PID=1200741&title=question-for-wellingtonians-rubbish#1200741 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36691&PID=1200738&title=question-for-wellingtonians-rubbish#1200738 Author: KiwiL

Thanks _SMS_.

The rubbish bag quality annoys me too and good point about the lawn clippings and garden waste - we use another bag a fortnight getting rid of that (it costs a huge $8 to take it to the garden waste facility at the tip!).]]> Mon, 15 Nov 2010 19:33:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36691&PID=1200738&title=question-for-wellingtonians-rubbish#1200738 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36691&PID=1200727&title=question-for-wellingtonians-rubbish#1200727 Author: _SMS_

We use Alz Litta Bins. Im in the Hutt Valley so not sure if they are in Town.

We pay $260 a year for 240L and i think its $190 for the smaller one. Or its similar pricing anyway.

We use to have the smaller bin and its about the same as 2 1/2 rubbish bags. We have a wheelie bin because we need to put lawn clippings etc in there too.

But the main reason is the quality of the rubbish bags, i wasnt going to keep paying $2.80 for a bag that would rip because its so thin.

How many of you use one of those wheelie bins for rubbish collection? What company do you use? How much do you pay?

I think we'll make more than a city council bagful these days (even though we recycle everything we can!) so wondering if this would be a more economical option.

TIA!]]> Mon, 15 Nov 2010 19:20:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36691&PID=1200718&title=question-for-wellingtonians-rubbish#1200718
