Goodbye orange rubbish bags - hello bins
A completely new rubbish collection system is on its way, but don't get rid of your wheelie bins just yet.
Auckland Council has confirmed a three-bin model – for refuse, recycling and food waste – and a partial fortnightly collection service was planned to be introduced by 2020.
West Aucklanders will phase out the orange bags, and use the old blue bin with a yellow lid for rubbish. This will be a pay as you throw system, which will cost not more than the price of three rubbish bags, Auckland Council says.
The bags cost about $2.30 each.
The plan is for all of Auckland to go pay as you throw for rubbish, with free weekly food waste collection and free fortnightly recycling pickup.
