ゴミ収集を週単位から隔週単位に移行するオークランド市議会の提案

Share:

市議会議員は、オークランドの毎週のゴミ収集が、あまり便利ではない隔週のサービスに限られるのではないかと懸念を表明しています。オークランド市議会の2024年に向けた廃棄物管理・最小化計画の草案では、2週間に1回のゴミ収集への移行が提案されているが、それは路肩の生ゴミ箱が十分に設置されてからのことだ。

議会の目的は廃棄物の削減を促すことです。しかし、マヌレワ・パパクラ市議会議員のダニエル・ニューマンは、生ごみの収集は毎週行われているごみ収集に取って代わるものではなく、補うべきだと考えています。彼は、この変更案は、議会の役員がこれまでに行った中で最も不都合で立証されていない提案の1つであると説明し、オークランドの多くの住民にはあまり人気がないだろうと予測した。

ニューマン氏は、毎週ゴミを集める必要があるかどうかは、政治家や議会職員ではなく、オークランドの家庭に任せるべきだと主張している。彼は、オークランド市民に選択の余地をなくすことで行動を変えさせようとした議員もいると非難した。また、住民に議会の計画について意見を述べるよう促し、オークランド市民が議会にそれを維持するよう説得しない限り、毎週のゴミ収集サービスは危険にさらされる可能性があると警告した。

また、議会の草案には、隔週の収集への移行を心配している住民、特に大世帯の住民を支援すべきだとも書かれていた。ニュージーランド・ヘラルド紙は、サービスの削減は2026年から開始される可能性があると報じた。目標は、道路沿いのゴミを2022年の基準値である1人あたり141kgから、2028年までに120kg、2030年までに100kgに減らすことです。最近導入された食品スクラップ容器は、ゴミ箱の中身を重量で最大 41% 削減することで、この目標の達成に役立つと期待されています。現在、議会は2週間に1回、リサイクル可能なゴミ箱を回収しています。

議会は財政赤字を認めており、潜在的な資産売却や大幅な利上げが検討されている。オークランド空港にある議会の株式の一部はすでに売却されており、ウェイン・ブラウン市長はオークランド港に長期リースを売却し、その収益を新たに30億ドルから40億ドルの投資ファンドに投資することを提案しています。しかし、市議会議員のマイク・リーとジョン・ワトソンはこの提案を批判し、リーはこれを「資産剥奪」と呼び、ワトソンはリース期間中は市が主要資産の支配権を失うだろうと警告した。
