Auckland Council wants rubbish pile gone
Auckland Council is seeking court orders for the removal of a huge North Shore rubbish pile, which can be seen from satellite.
The rubbish on a property on Marlborough Ave, near Glenfield Mall, is understood to have grown over the past four to five years, including onto neighbours’ properties.
The pile is made up of general household waste, including full rubbish bags, food and drink packaging, suitcases, broken electronics such as televisions and monitors, clothing, children’s toys, and bedding.
Auckland Council has already been forced to act on the rubbish, when it overflowed into the Downing St Reserve, which the property backs onto.
The rubbish has also piled up onto Mulberry Place resident Courtney Newbold’s property, which she rents from her father.
She said it was sad to see the rubbish pile up on their family home, and believed it would cost them thousands of dollars to remove.

Yes I am all of the above, please can anyone suggest recommend someplace I can go ( but not the glue factory yet) for some way of easing up years of building work so I can move more easily, think stretching exercise type stuff.
I live in Mairangi Bay, more than happy to do one to one ☝️ just need to sort it. Ideally not too far away.
Thank you
