Tasman District and Nelson City Councils are asking all businesses in the region to complete a new short survey. The survey, prepared by Waste Education Services, asks how businesses in the region dispose of their waste; what is reused or recycled and where improvements in waste services could be made.
The survey is available online at
http://tinyurl.com/wastesurvey and businesses are asked to complete it by
31 July 2010.
Complete the survey and be in with a chance to win a $200 voucher from Office Max!
