Farmers, a $2000 native plant pack could be yours just by completing a farm waste survey to help Environment Canterbury explore better collection options.
ECan wants Waitaha Canterbury farmers to have input into how future collection looks for them.
Survey responses will support the design of a proposed mobile waste collection pilot trial.
Have your say on farm waste services in your district:
Note: This survey is being managed by Tonkin + Taylor, an external provider. Individual answers will remain confidential and will not be shared with Environment Canterbury staff.
