Hi Lisa
Kai to compost is a restaurant food scraps collection program operating in Wellington New Zealand It was originally run by the local council but now that it is more established it is run by a private company. You can find the details here https://www.envirowaste.co.nz/index.php?page=kai-to-compost
Which will answer some of your questions .
Cheers

Reducing Contamination in Recycling bins
2015-02-09 16:26:14 UTC
Hi,
I'm interested in any behaviour change approaches around reducing contamination in recycling bins. In New Zealand the most common approach is a three strike system of stickering the bins which have been contaminated signally the problem with the bin eventually removed if the contamination does not reduce. But would be interested to hear of what other approaches have been tried successfully.

Re: Online vs. Phone Surveys
2015-01-20 21:09:03 UTC
Hi Elliot
We faced the same dilemna here in New Zealand recently. When we looked at the demographics we found that more and more people in New Zealand no longer have a landline and instead only use a mobile phone. This is particularly true for younger people and those on low incomes. As for our survey we were very interested to gather the views of younger people we chose to do an online survey. However we also set quotas for age gender ethnicity etc to match the national population thus ensuring that we had the right mix of people. So when people started the survey online there were screening questions to ensure that the right people were answering the survey. In terms of price comparison the research company could phone around 200 people for a similar price for an online survey of 1,000 so that was another factor that influenced our decision.
