We have the potential to become the SMELLIEST town in the region!
ODOUR FROM THIS FACILITY COULD EASILY COVER THE WHOLE OF TUAKAU!
TRIAL TO BE EXTENDED!
TRIAL TO BE EXTENDED!
Envirofert food waste composting facility in Tuakau, with entrances off River Road/Geraghtys Road is taking Auckland councils food waste from a food waste trial from 2000 households on the North Shore.
This is for 3 months. August 2014(Local Government online) The trial is to be extended. Auckland's food waste collection is to be rolled out in 2016!
How many houses are there in Auckland and how big could this pile of rubbish become?
Then there is the potential to take all of the rotting food waste from Waikato and Bay of Plenty as well. This company will take waste from anywhere to make money with no consideration or respect for it's neighbours lives and health.
It would be better for individuals to do their own composting but alas the human race is sooooo lazy and "someone else will deal with it".

Wouldn't it be better for cities to compost in their own districts, rather than truck this food waste many kilometres? Carbon foot print?
Auckland council has a policy of not taking waste from outside Auckland's boundary but Auckland council seem to think it is alright to chuck their rubbish over the fence in our backyard in the Waikato.
As long as Auckland don't have to deal with it.
Our mayors, councils and central government don't give a s#*t about Tuakau, THEY DON"T CARE!

One of the owners of this company is ANDREW BAYLY the National Party candidate for Hunua in the upcoming 2014 general elections on September 20th.
Tuakau WAS in Hunua's electorate for many years but with the recent boundary changes Tuakau is now in the Waikato electorate.
Change the boundaries and get more National supporters, & laws changed??
BAYLY has been a director/shareholder of Envirofert since 1999 the year Envirofert started operating. Green waste and clean?fill problems have been issues with some of the neighbours since 1999. 2009 Envirofert were issued Resource Consents (non-notifying) to take food waste to make compost (stinking compost) which Tuakau community have since been complaining about odours, pollution, dust & trucks. These consents were issued by Waikato Regional and District Councils.

Understand that basically the finished compost is not a huge problem, it is the start of the journey to make compost, from smelly trucks uncovered with smelly food waste that could have been sitting for weeks. Then the smelly food waste in piles out in the sun rotting and stinking for months.
Fast forward to 2014 and Tuakau are still living with putrid stench. 5 years of not being able to use our property, property values affected,bbq's, washing stinks & house stinks. Summers are ruined by odours, dust and NO-ONE will tell us what is in the VOC contaminants or dust!
If you read Bayly's (former owner) National Parties bio you would think he is as delusional as McGuire the former owner of Envirofert when he started this tip and thought it wasn't going to stink. Maybe it has got something to do with composting.

Is Andrew Bayly going to treat his constituents with arrogance and no respect like he has the Tuakau community?
Food waste composting is a smelly business and we cannot find anywhere in the world that can do composting without odours. In some cases odour travelling many kms.
How can decent human beings inflict this odorous condition on other humans?
By 2015 ALL ORGANIC WASTE has to be out of landfills and brought to a facility like Envirofert.
Could NIMBY mean not in my back yard or next it might be you.
This has the potential to be horrendous with the facility operating 24/7 with continual polluted air! Never having the right to breath FRESH COUNTRY AIR as the Waikato Regional council say they are the authority to tell Tuakau residents what they consider as ACCEPTABLE!
One hour away from Tuakau!
We had no say in the decision to have Envirofert in Tuakau so this
could happen in your district. Councils let Envirofert be issued with resource consents that the public had no say in, and the council does nothing until a complaint is made and then the councils do NOTHING.
Never having someone to verify an odour complaint.
Council Reason: No resources!

NO RESOURCES then NO RESOURCE CONSENTS SHOULD BE ISSUED!
