WCC rubbish bags up 50% in five years

I noticed a few weeks ago that WCC rubbish bags were now $4 each at the supermarket. I could recall when they were $2.50 each and was interested in when they increased so much. I asked WCC.

In 2020 the RRP was $2.38 and today they are $3.60. That is a 51% increase in just five years. Has the cost of rubbish collection gone up 51%? General inflation was only 22% so that is a 29% increase in real terms.

This is not a small increase. This comes on top of the 20% rates increases. They are addicted to spending.
