Rubbish solution

Dear Ed,

Just an article of interest, as many Pictonites have been trying to get some action, on this issue, for years.

Photos are from Picton’s High Street on any summer weekend and doubley worse whenever a cruise ship is in town, so not really a good look.

Nelson on the other hand have some foot operated ones and Reefton has ones that when full, lockup and sound an alarm in the council's refuge department. Businesses can also adopt one and put their advert on, so a win win. Kaikoura just prefer to put in recycle bins, with plastic inner liners.

All places have rules that takeaway shops must over on site rubbish.
