Moving from plastic bags to Pay As You Throw wheelie bins is a better environmental choice for Auckland. They keep our streets cleaner and safer for everyone. And by only paying as you throw, they keep extra money in your pocket.
West Aucklanders are seeing the benefits already…
Michelle Keenan of Te Atatū says...
"I really like that the council are re-using our old recycling bins and they are not going to waste. Obviously it’s more cost effective and we can decide how often we put the bins out."
And Coralie Archer of Glen Eden says...
"I’ve noticed a huge reduction in rubbish around the streets. We love that it is a reliable service with a goal to help reduce household waste."
