Tauranga City councillors have voted to remain with the status quo for the city's waste management.
At today's Strategy and Policy Committee meeting, the council adopted the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan, which more than 300 people submitted to.
The council would remain with the status quo and would require
further investigation and consideration of solutions to curb side services.
The plan included going out to the community for further research.
The plan spanned the next six years, giving a platform for the newly-elected council to look further into the size of the waste problem and how people were carrying out their household recycling.
