As residents of Hamilton, we're deeply concerned about our current waste disposal system. The one-size-fits-all bin sizes don’t meet the needs of larger households, often leading to overfilled bins and illegal dumping across the city.

In New Zealand, 32% of environmental waste leakage comes from littering and illegal dumping—a problem that’s growing in Hamilton as our urban population increases. The current system lacks the sustainability and flexibility needed for diverse households.

We need a waste management system that offers flexible options to meet the needs of all households. This will help reduce overfilled bins and illegal dumping, and move us towards more responsible waste management.

Let’s make Hamilton a cleaner, safer place for everyone. Please sign this petition to urge our local government to reform the waste management system.
