Group seeks buyer of bulk newspapers
The Christchurch City Council is not the only local group having trouble getting rid of recycled newspapers. In Kaiapoi, members of the Waimakariri-Ashley Lifeboat Institution have collected about 16 tonnes of newspapers in the last year as a way to raise money for a new boatshed and lifeboat . running costs. Mr F. J. Felgate, the institution’s league chairman,
said that there was no market for the newspapers in Christchurch, so the institution had now stopped collecting them. They are still looking for a buyer for papers that are stored in a Kaiapoi shed and in members’ homes. He had about a tonne at his own home, said Mr Felgate, adding that “we will have to dump it if we can’t get rid of it.”
