Please keep green waste free so that people don’t burn off.

Enough is enough. I’m sick of new fees appearing by council every other turn. It’s green waste that should be mulched or chipped and given back to the community for free!

Would discourage ppl to clear their properties so become more fuel for bushfires

I request that green waste remain free. How do we get rid of the trimmings we do every year to keep our properties safe in fire season. This could create more burning off in the backyard.

If residents have to pay there will be more dumping on naturestrips. Make it easy to do the best thing.

you want people to keep their property clean and prevent out of control fires so keep green waste free

The green waste service helps us keep our properties prepared for fire season. This is vital for everyone’s safety. Also we buy it back as mulch and compost!

Why is it always about the money ? We pay our rates but don’t get much for our dollar!

Note to MRSC. I already have to travel from Gisborne at my own time/expense to dispose of my green waste responsibly. If there's a charge I'll take it to a friends farm and burn it off. Council needs to actually think of the consequences to its actions outside of a cost analysis.

Seems like a step backwards if we want to address climate change.

This will do nothing more than create more pollution. What a backwards thing to do,

There is so much that council need to do, including fixing dangerous Woodend Roads they have neglected, and continuing to provide free amenity such as green waste recycling which you can profit from by selling.

Thoughtless and thoroughly ill conceived, putting further pressure on already highly cash strapped budgets! What a deplorable proposal. No clue at all as to the realities of life!

We are pensioners and an extra fee would mean we would have to chose between 'going without' or burning-off and we'd prefer not to have to do either

Absolutely outrageous. MRSC are so far detached from the people they should be serving. Dip into the money your not spending on repairing roads for this.
