Waste Management and Minimisation Plan

Our aim at New Plymouth District Council is to achieve Zero Waste. The New Plymouth District Waste Management and Minimisation Plan (2017-23) sets out how we are going to move towards this goal. It lays out NPDC’s vision, objectives and targets for reducing waste, and details how we will accomplish and fund these objectives.
