ffs who dumps garden waste on the dunes? absolute muppets. bet it's the same clowns who complain about weeds.

Casey Adams2026-07-24T03:58:23.000Z

lol 'not the council's fault' classic bootlicker. they could put up cameras or fines.

Finn Walker2026-07-24T04:03:23.000Z

mate it's not the council's fault if idiots dump stuff illegally.

Casey Adams2026-07-24T03:58:23.000Z

yeah nah classic council neglect. bet they'll spend a year 'consulting' while the weeds take over the whole beach.

Jack Morrison2026-07-24T04:41:23.000Z

facts. and then they'll spend a million bucks on a report saying 'we need more bins'.

so sad seeing this happen. our dunes are beautiful and ppl just treat it like a tip. 😞

Ruby Fraser2026-07-24T04:37:23.000Z

always the garden waste eh. ppl think it'll just rot but nah it brings all the pest plants. bloody lazy.

Rowan Blake2026-07-24T04:49:23.000Z

isn't there a green waste bin service in waimārama? how hard is it to use it properly?

Rowan Blake2026-07-24T05:21:23.000Z

totally agree. there's a transfer station like 10 mins away.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-24T05:23:23.000Z

nah some ppl are just too lazy to sort their green waste properly.

Morgan Lee2026-07-24T05:11:23.000Z

surprised it took this long for someone to say something. the dunes have been looking ruff for months.

Jack Morrison2026-07-24T05:40:23.000Z

what a load of shit. typical local government asleep at the wheel.

Morgan Lee2026-07-24T05:57:23.000Z

great idea. but it shouldn't be up to volunteers, council should sort it.
