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.

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.
