Couches, mattresses and rubbish dumped on Dunedin streets

From Checkpoint, 4:24 pm today

Illegal dumping teams and street sweepers are busy in North Dunedin with students allegedly tossing a vast array of junk roadside, as they abandon flats and head home for the Summer. Discarded items include old couches, mattresses, desks and countless bags of rubbish. The Dunedin City Council it's the worst it's seen in recent years and extremely disappointing. Otago University Student's Association Vice President Amy Martin has been out helping with the clean-up and spoke to Lisa Owen.
