Bin tag use to end
We have stopped using rubbish bin tags across Auckland. We have replaced them with an annual charge added to your rates bill.
No more bin tags
We have ended our 'pay-as-you-throw' bin tag service and have moved to a weekly kerbside rubbish collection funded by your rates.
Visit How changes to our rubbish service will affect your area and search your address for more detailed information.
Why this is happening
After consulting on the Annual Budget for 2022/2023, we decided to introduce a rates-funded system for our kerbside rubbish collection services.
We are standardising waste services in Auckland so that every property receives the same:
- level of service
- types of bins
- payment options.
