On Saturday 22 May 2021, more than 170 Hamiltonians
attended Hamilton’s household hazardous waste drop-off
event funded by Waikato Regional Council to dispose of
household hazardous materials safely and free of
charge.
Several Hamiltonians were pleased with the
well-organised event, explaining that it has helped to
create much needed space at home.
“What an excellent
idea” said Hamilton resident Raelene.
“It’s not
easy getting rid of things like paint cans and old cleaning
products, they sit in the garage generating rust. I read
about the event in the paper and immediately signed up,”
she said.

More than half of the waste Waipā residents toss in their rubbish bins could have been diverted from landfill – much of it food that would have been still good to eat.
That is one of the findings of a Waipā District Council solid waste audit, which involved hand-sorting the contents of 253 randomly selected bins and bags from 44 streets in the district.
