Refuse barges for gulf island boaties this
summer
Auckland City Council is encouraging boaties to
keep the Hauraki Gulf islands safe and healthy this summer
by depositing their rubbish and recycling on refuse
barges.
"Boaties will be flocking to the Hauraki Gulf
islands over the summer months. We want to help them keep
the waters and shoreline as clean as possible by providing a
service that will make it easy to dispose of rubbish and
recycling," Auckland City's resource recovery manager
Warwick Jaine says.
Auckland City will provide the service
over the peak summer period, when the islands will be busy
with locals and visitors enjoying the Hauraki Gulf's unique
environment.
The refuse barges will be moored off Waiheke
Island and Great Barrier Island from 20 December 2005 until
7 February 2006 at the following locations:
Waiheke Island
- Man O' War Bay
Great Barrier Island - Man of War
Passage, Port
Fitzroy

He needs more time to figure out a response? OK, but the clock is ticking.
The Julian Assange situation is a lot more urgent. Assange’s deportation to the United States has now been okayed by the British courts and also - crucially – by its government. At any moment, Assange could be on a plane and headed for a US prison. He is facing the prospect of 175 years in jail...
