- Wellington City Council
- During the four-day Matariki Ahi Kā event in July, a whopping 687kgs of waste was generated from the kai court as people flocked to the city to celebrate, eat, and drink. But a recent waste audit report shows that 99 percent of the event waste was able to be diverted from the landfill – meaning only 8kgs of rubbish had to go to the tip!
