Business booms—-dump
PA Auckland Business is booming, according to a small — and previously unknown — group of “experts.” They are Auckland’s rubbish tip workers who say the amount of garbage flooding into their dumps has increased dramatically recently — a sure sign that the economy is looking up. The Auckland Regional Authority reported that the quantity of rubbish dumped
at its two tips had jumped more than 30 per cent. One tip surpervisor, Mr Barry Nisbett, said last year that the tip averaged 450 tonnes of rubbish a day. It was about 600 tonnes now. The A.R.A. was expecting an upturn in industry and commerce but “nothing like this,” its works manager, Mr Murray Sargent, said. When a recession forced cutbacks in industry, less rubbish was produced, he said.
