Coastguard s Old4New Lifejacket Upgrade Campaign is coming to Waikato and Coromandel as part of a nationwide mission to remove as many ill-fitting, damaged and old lifejackets from circulation as possible.
From mid-December until the end of the month, residents can trade in their old lifejackets for a discount on a range of new and fit-for-purpose Hutchwilco lifejackets.
Over the past seven years more than 15,000 boaties have used the scheme.
