Funding options for a new kerbside rubbish and recycling scheme will be decided by the Dunedin City Council this week. Different combinations of general rates, targeted rates, a fixed-user charge or a pay-as-you-throw option could be chosen. The Dunedin City Council will consult on proposed changes to kerbside collection in March. A pay-as-you-throw option for rubbish or garden waste collection would allow residents to pay for the service when needed. The next contract for kerbside collection is due to start in July, 2022.emma.perry@odt.co.nz
