Rodney council spurns anti-junk bylaw

The Rodney District Council has rejected the anti-junk mail bylaw adopted last month by the Waitakere and North Shore City Councils.

Those councils will from July 1 next year make it an offence to distribute advertising circulars and other unsolicited mail to letterboxes bearing "No junk mail" stickers.

Rodney was supposed to be part of a co-operative approach to reducing household waste and litter but Mayor John Law said the proposed bylaw would be impossible to administer.
