I seen all episodes. It's very eye opening, and pretty sad to see what we're doing!

This is a great little video and so tragic to see virgin land being covered in rubbish. It's alarming to see that there is no apparent liner to stop leachate from entering waterways. Kate, the woman who hosted the interviewer said that once the rubbish is in the pit, it's no longer retrievable. I disagree with that comment because it's not a deep pit and there should be one or two people in that pit reclaiming anything that could be reused, repaired or recycled. I estimate that they could create at least two full-time jobs retrieving and making sure that reusable, repairable or recyclable materials and products are put back into the economy. The income from sales could easily be as high as $50k. The other comment I disagree with is that it's all our fault. Yes, we as consumers bear part of the blame, but most of the blame rests on the retailers that put products into the market that last for only one short use and then are disposed into the wasting system. Landfills are very bad concepts but let's not fall into the trap of promoting incineration as the answer. They are in some ways worse. A key answer to the problem of unsustainable patterns of consumption and waste is mandatory product stewrdship, where producers and retailers who make and sell this stuff are made to be responsible for the end of life management of their products. If these costs were transferred from councils to producers/retailers, waste outputs would shrink almost overnight.

Hi Warren, This was filmed at one landfill as we had to get consent to film and it is not one of the higher grade landfills in NZ. As far as retrieval out of the pit is concerned, yes it would be great if there could be people employed to retrieve it out but the point we were trying to get across was that if people don't take responsibility to stop at the transfer station recycling area, the stuff that goes in the pit is taken to landfill as it is a health and safety issue for it to be recovered out of the pit and all of the transfer pits are differently operated so we could only show one as an example. I agree the problem is much bigger than the consumer but ultimately we make choices everyday as to what we purchase and that is what we were trying to convey. If I had the budget I would have been able to take the project much further and deeper than this but we did this whole project on the smell of an oily rag. This piece was based on consumer behaviour and what we can do about it, I absolutely agree that mandatory product stewardship is the way to go but consumers have the power now to push change where government and legislation takes time as you know. Also I would just like to highlight that I am completely against incineration and did not promote this or suggest this as part of the piece, again it is just to highlight what happens if you put it in your bin or drop it in the pit at landfill transfer stations.

Lol someone put a ute in the scrap metal pile they should have taken it to a car salvage and crushing yard

@WastedNZ 4 года назад

Too true! But luckily it ended up in the scrap metal pile at least so it can be recycled instead of ending up in landfill. Thanks for watching!

NZ needs a few waste - to - energy process power plants. Take care of both problems.

@vaishalijain5854 4 года назад

If this place is in auckland, can I visit and experience what's going on. I want to do my best to reduce the waste going into landfills

@WastedNZ 4 года назад

Kia Ora Vaishali, that's so great to hear you're wanting to do more to reduce your waste footprint! The landfill we filmed at is based in the central North Island and unfortunately there's very few landfills who do public visits/tours because of health and safety. Have you watched the rest of the videos in our series? You can also attend one of Kate Mead's workshops if you'd like to learn more. They're really informative and entertaining. Her website is www.katemeads.co.nz if you want to see when she's next in your area. Kia kaha! Brad.

unfortunately only 95 views until today (16 Jan 2020).

@WastedNZ 4 года назад

We try and think of it like a seed, you plant it and it might take a while to grow. Hopefully more and more people get to see the videos in the future and can make simple changes to help reduce their waste. Thank you for watching Zakir, we appreciate it!

More awareness effort must be done to direct interest in these kind of film

Tax money should be better spent by governments and councils to have better recycling plants.

Average reporting

@deepsky3001 3 года назад

This video is biased. It tells you that we need to reduce our consumption to solve the waste problem. No - New Zealand could just build modern waste incinerators with filter systems, and that is what many modern countries are doing.

@roblobster690 3 года назад

Lol nice one. There are emissions from those incinerators, they require a huge amount of power, and the maintenance is costly and labor intensive. Reducing waste production is a necessity

@deepsky3001 3 года назад

@@roblobster690 Emissions from modern incinerators are much lower than those from landfills (pollution of water, smells, dust, germs), and modern incinerators actually generate energy instead of using it. I agree that we should reduce waste production but this does not necessarily require people to change their consumption in the propagandistic way depicted in the video.

I gave this ( zerowaste.co.nz/waste-to-energy-incineration/) a read and also looked at some other videos about Japan and Singapore's incinerators. It seems as though that is a great option for those nations due to their high population densities and limited space for landfills. Another disadvantage of incinerators would be that with the onset of them, people will be less inclined to reduce, reuse, and recycle, due to it seeming as though the problem has been solved, when in actual fact, it hasn't. That 10% of the rubbish remaining becomes fly ash, and Singapore for example just empties it into a contained section of the sea. A 'seafill'... The problem as been minimised and relocated. Not eradicated.
