Oamaru charity shops are concerned a rise in fees to dump rubbish will mean the public will use them as a rubbish tip instead. On April 22 Oamaru’s landfill will close and a new refuse transfer station in Oamaru’s North End will open. The transfer station, managed by Waste Management NZ, will have a new fee schedule. She also wondered if people would be too lazy to drive across town to the new transfer station in the North End industrial precinct. The council was limited in what it could do to stop rubbish dumping outside the new refuse station council.
