From Checkpoint, 5:50 pm on 19 September 2023

A mystery meat dumper is plaguing Christchurch, offloading hundreds of kilos raw off cuts and carcasses in public bins.

The dodgy dumper struck again last night discarding fourteen bags of meat waste, weighing about 250 kilograms.

It's the biggest incident yet.

And it seems the west of the city is the target area.

Christchurch City Council says illegal road side dumping cost rate payer more than $800,000 in the past six years.
