Speaker 1: You're listening to a podcast from News Talks b follow

Speaker 1: this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.

3
00:00:16,653 --> 00:00:19,093
Speaker 2: Napier residents who cut down there really been used by

4
00:00:19,133 --> 00:00:22,253
Speaker 2: composting and recycling, could see the rape bills cut down too.

5
00:00:22,453 --> 00:00:25,693
Speaker 2: To discuss fair that, we're joined by us Stephanie Wilson.

6
00:00:25,773 --> 00:00:29,333
Speaker 2: She is the naper City Council waste minimization lead and

7
00:00:29,373 --> 00:00:32,253
Speaker 2: she's on the phone now. Stefphaney, thanks for joining us.

8
00:00:33,133 --> 00:00:34,853
Speaker 3: Are you're very welcome? Kya everyone?

9
00:00:35,333 --> 00:00:38,853
Speaker 4: So what is an RFID tag? How does the system work?

10
00:00:40,093 --> 00:00:42,973
Speaker 3: So? An RFID tag is a little tag that is

11
00:00:43,013 --> 00:00:48,452
Speaker 3: attached to each wheeliburn and it's it's exactly as it says,

12
00:00:48,092 --> 00:00:51,773
Speaker 3: it tagged the bin and you are able to identify

13
00:00:52,933 --> 00:00:56,572
Speaker 3: the bin to as certain adreds n That's how we

14
00:00:56,613 --> 00:00:59,333
Speaker 3: can we can they know that ben belongs to that

15
00:00:59,493 --> 00:01:01,733
Speaker 3: adres and we know that we've lifted it or we

16
00:01:01,773 --> 00:01:03,613
Speaker 3: know that we have not lifted it because they've not

17
00:01:03,653 --> 00:01:04,413
Speaker 3: put it out.

18
00:01:04,813 --> 00:01:07,493
Speaker 4: Right, Okay, I see right. So you know at the

19
00:01:07,573 --> 00:01:09,573
Speaker 4: end of the year, you know how many times you've

20
00:01:09,613 --> 00:01:10,653
Speaker 4: emptied their ben? How clever?

21
00:01:11,453 --> 00:01:14,732
Speaker 3: Yeah, So a little bit like what's those things the

22
00:01:14,813 --> 00:01:17,372
Speaker 3: apple tags on. Let's say you can put on your back.

23
00:01:17,453 --> 00:01:19,013
Speaker 3: You know where your back goes, you know where gen

24
00:01:19,093 --> 00:01:21,493
Speaker 3: ben is. But yeah, we use it in terms of

25
00:01:22,013 --> 00:01:24,773
Speaker 3: knowing how many times we've lifted a ben. We'll be

26
00:01:24,773 --> 00:01:28,732
Speaker 3: able to track and monitor so that that leastways incentive

27
00:01:28,773 --> 00:01:29,212
Speaker 3: can apply.

28
00:01:29,572 --> 00:01:32,093
Speaker 4: What a wonderful future world we live? And can you

29
00:01:32,133 --> 00:01:34,372
Speaker 4: opt out? So if you're going along so and that

30
00:01:34,453 --> 00:01:37,773
Speaker 4: just means if you opt back in, so you suddenly

31
00:01:37,853 --> 00:01:39,372
Speaker 4: one week you go of, I've got heaps of rubbish.

32
00:01:39,413 --> 00:01:41,133
Speaker 4: This week, I'm going to put it out. That sort

33
00:01:41,173 --> 00:01:42,253
Speaker 4: of covers that off, doesn't it.

34
00:01:42,932 --> 00:01:45,413
Speaker 3: Yeah, So yeah, if you don't put it out, we

35
00:01:45,813 --> 00:01:48,813
Speaker 3: will go past and because we've not lifted something, we

36
00:01:48,853 --> 00:01:51,493
Speaker 3: won't know that it's there. And then the system we

37
00:01:51,693 --> 00:01:54,333
Speaker 3: just go no, nothing was lifted. And that is previously

38
00:01:54,333 --> 00:01:56,933
Speaker 3: people had to follow a fortnight a calendar and so

39
00:01:57,413 --> 00:02:01,093
Speaker 3: we're taking we're removing that barrier now and you can

40
00:02:01,333 --> 00:02:04,253
Speaker 3: forget about the next week and then oh no, next week,

41
00:02:04,373 --> 00:02:07,573
Speaker 3: the following week and pop it out there. And if

42
00:02:07,613 --> 00:02:11,053
Speaker 3: you get lost and like how many times you've done

43
00:02:11,053 --> 00:02:14,213
Speaker 3: it within your twelve months period, you can call us

44
00:02:14,293 --> 00:02:16,453
Speaker 3: up and we can look up your address. Provided you've

45
00:02:16,453 --> 00:02:18,653
Speaker 3: obviously applied to be part of the scheme, we can

46
00:02:18,733 --> 00:02:22,093
Speaker 3: set up and go, yep, you're on track. You definitely

47
00:02:22,373 --> 00:02:24,933
Speaker 3: have flipped it or put you been out twelve times

48
00:02:24,933 --> 00:02:26,213
Speaker 3: for the year or something like that.

49
00:02:26,373 --> 00:02:27,973
Speaker 4: So you have to opt into this. So it's not

50
00:02:28,013 --> 00:02:30,893
Speaker 4: going to be an I REFID tag on every bin.

51
00:02:31,053 --> 00:02:32,292
Speaker 4: You have to decide you want to be part of

52
00:02:32,333 --> 00:02:33,172
Speaker 4: the program. Is that correct?

53
00:02:33,972 --> 00:02:37,373
Speaker 3: Yeah, so every bind does come with an IFID tag

54
00:02:37,493 --> 00:02:41,933
Speaker 3: on them. However, because our technology is slightly different on

55
00:02:42,013 --> 00:02:44,893
Speaker 3: each on the trucks for the way operators that we

56
00:02:45,013 --> 00:02:48,973
Speaker 3: use we monitor and track, it slightly different. So we

57
00:02:49,053 --> 00:02:53,252
Speaker 3: do ask people to opt into the scheme if they

58
00:02:53,293 --> 00:02:57,213
Speaker 3: are a property owner and that way we can monitor

59
00:02:57,613 --> 00:03:01,373
Speaker 3: that property. In particular, the only time you will need

60
00:03:01,453 --> 00:03:06,373
Speaker 3: to reapply for it is if you've solved your house

61
00:03:06,733 --> 00:03:09,173
Speaker 3: and you want to continue being on schemes for the

62
00:03:09,173 --> 00:03:10,533
Speaker 3: next property you purchase.

63
00:03:10,813 --> 00:03:13,013
Speaker 2: Right, well, only time you need to offer well thought

64
00:03:13,053 --> 00:03:16,413
Speaker 2: through Stephanie, So what talk to us about money? How

65
00:03:16,493 --> 00:03:19,813
Speaker 2: much could the average residents say if they are, you know,

66
00:03:20,093 --> 00:03:22,173
Speaker 2: a good citizen and they only put their bins out

67
00:03:22,213 --> 00:03:23,333
Speaker 2: twenty six times or fewer.

68
00:03:24,853 --> 00:03:29,013
Speaker 3: It depends obviously, on what your rates are, but it

69
00:03:29,053 --> 00:03:32,733
Speaker 3: is that that small portion twenty five percent off the

70
00:03:32,813 --> 00:03:36,053
Speaker 3: portion of what you pay. So it's not one hundred

71
00:03:36,093 --> 00:03:39,373
Speaker 3: percenture exactly what the figures are because our rates have

72
00:03:39,533 --> 00:03:41,853
Speaker 3: increased and I've not checked with our rating just yet,

73
00:03:41,893 --> 00:03:46,413
Speaker 3: but it's a twenty five percent of that individual rate

74
00:03:47,093 --> 00:03:48,973
Speaker 3: that's targeted rate for your rubbish collection.

75
00:03:50,013 --> 00:03:52,693
Speaker 4: Now, what do you think of people like me? And

76
00:03:52,733 --> 00:03:54,893
Speaker 4: this might sort of break the system who sneak out

77
00:03:54,893 --> 00:03:57,173
Speaker 4: at night and put the extra rubbish in other people's bins.

78
00:03:57,173 --> 00:04:00,293
Speaker 4: We call ourselves blind Ninja's or wheeli raiders will their

79
00:04:00,453 --> 00:04:03,173
Speaker 4: patrols looking out for late night rubbish rogues.

80
00:04:04,973 --> 00:04:08,013
Speaker 3: That's a difficult one to police right now. You need

81
00:04:08,093 --> 00:04:11,333
Speaker 3: read sources to do that. But in terms of during

82
00:04:11,373 --> 00:04:14,173
Speaker 3: the day, our trucks are really smart. They've got about

83
00:04:14,173 --> 00:04:18,813
Speaker 3: seven different cameras on each truck and often we've called

84
00:04:18,853 --> 00:04:22,293
Speaker 3: people running across the right trying to put that out again,

85
00:04:22,933 --> 00:04:23,853
Speaker 3: you publish.

86
00:04:23,493 --> 00:04:25,213
Speaker 4: Those photos as well, Stiffen, so that you have to

87
00:04:25,213 --> 00:04:28,133
Speaker 4: be you have to be an organized wheelie raider. You

88
00:04:28,173 --> 00:04:29,853
Speaker 4: can't do it as the truck's coming down the street

89
00:04:29,853 --> 00:04:32,333
Speaker 4: because you forgot. You have to do it the night

90
00:04:32,613 --> 00:04:35,813
Speaker 4: the night before. Would you support discounts across other council

91
00:04:35,893 --> 00:04:38,613
Speaker 4: services like don't use the library pay list, don't use

92
00:04:38,613 --> 00:04:41,573
Speaker 4: the parks pay lists? You know, don't cycle, don't pay

93
00:04:41,573 --> 00:04:42,413
Speaker 4: for cycle lanes.

94
00:04:43,453 --> 00:04:47,733
Speaker 3: Would I support something like that? I don't think I such.

95
00:04:48,053 --> 00:04:49,973
Speaker 3: I can comment on that, like I do. Just pay

96
00:04:50,013 --> 00:04:51,892
Speaker 3: your rights and you make sure that that's the city

97
00:04:51,973 --> 00:04:53,733
Speaker 3: that you live in as a great place, and you

98
00:04:53,813 --> 00:04:55,613
Speaker 3: tap into those amenities that you can use.

99
00:04:55,773 --> 00:04:57,973
Speaker 4: But you can see what can you see what I'm saying?

100
00:04:58,013 --> 00:05:00,013
Speaker 4: So if if you know if they're picking up the

101
00:05:00,013 --> 00:05:03,093
Speaker 4: bins as a service and that's going to be more,

102
00:05:03,293 --> 00:05:05,253
Speaker 4: you know, how much you use is how much you pay?

103
00:05:05,613 --> 00:05:08,133
Speaker 4: Could you see that that could be rolled out across

104
00:05:08,173 --> 00:05:09,093
Speaker 4: other services.

105
00:05:09,733 --> 00:05:15,093
Speaker 3: It depends on what the incentive is for that. For us,

106
00:05:15,173 --> 00:05:19,453
Speaker 3: it is we want lessways to end up going to landfill.

107
00:05:20,653 --> 00:05:23,253
Speaker 3: You're using a pike. I don't. Yeah, that's my focus,

108
00:05:23,333 --> 00:05:26,093
Speaker 3: that's my cobubber, that's my field of egretsy, So I

109
00:05:26,093 --> 00:05:30,373
Speaker 3: can only talk about rubbies. I think rubby. I've just

110
00:05:30,453 --> 00:05:34,413
Speaker 3: been informed about the amount the dollar figure that you

111
00:05:34,493 --> 00:05:38,893
Speaker 3: get off of your rubbish percentage per year. That's sixty

112
00:05:38,933 --> 00:05:39,653
Speaker 3: dollars all.

113
00:05:39,653 --> 00:05:41,093
Speaker 2: Right, sixty bucks per years.

114
00:05:41,453 --> 00:05:45,173
Speaker 4: Yeah that's pretty good. Well yeah, Stiffanie, you can only

115
00:05:45,213 --> 00:05:47,573
Speaker 4: talk about rubbish and I seem to only be able

116
00:05:47,573 --> 00:05:49,453
Speaker 4: to talk rubbish, so we've got something in common. So

117
00:05:49,573 --> 00:05:50,373
Speaker 4: thank you so much for talking.

118
00:05:51,973 --> 00:05:54,853
Speaker 3: And then yeah for people who have now applied, because

119
00:05:55,133 --> 00:05:57,973
Speaker 3: people the applications have just been splatting in, which is

120
00:05:58,013 --> 00:06:01,373
Speaker 3: amazing to see. Love reading the comments on Facebook that

121
00:06:01,413 --> 00:06:03,853
Speaker 3: people are already doing the right thing and now being

122
00:06:03,853 --> 00:06:07,653
Speaker 3: able to be rewarded for what they're doing. Is that

123
00:06:08,093 --> 00:06:09,973
Speaker 3: it's when she've applied for it by the thirty yearth
