Bins before breakfast in Auckland

It's time to put out your rubbish bins early to make sure you don't miss a collection.

Route changes for rubbish truck drivers from November 30 will mean that some people have their bins picked up earlier than before.

Residents in central, east and south Auckland should place their bins at the kerb by 7am to ensure you don't miss out.

If your household already has an early start, that will not change.

New electric trucks are being rolled out for kerbside collections.

The first joined Waiheke Island earlier this year and the next truck is soon bound for Papakura.

When food scrap collections are introduced in 2023, all food scraps trucks will be electric.

Auckland Council said it has been "standardising rubbish collection services across the region, while also setting a goal of zero waste to landfill by 2040."

About 10,000 tonnes of recycling and 15,000 tonnes of rubbish are collected in the region every month.

Do you like the design of this new electric truck on Waiheke Island?

Pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca will start producing hundreds of millions of doses of its new coronavirus vaccine by Christmas after Oxford University researchers revealed a scientific breakthrough with the possibility to terminate the pandemic.

The vaccine was on average 70 per cent effective in foiling the disease, according to results from phase three trials.

It’s unknown yet whether New Zealand was in the line for this vaccine.

But New Zealand has already signed two agreements for other vaccines- the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine along with the vaccine from Janssen Pharmaceutica.

Qantas chief executive officer Alan Joyce on Monday night said vaccination would be mandatory for passengers.

“We are looking at changing our terms and conditions to say that for international travellers, we will ask people to have a vaccination before they can get on the aircraft,” he said.

Auckland households face ongoing water use restrictions through the summer with the council not convinced the risks of the ongoing drought are gone.

Hoses connected to mains water could be used only if fitted with a handheld trigger, under a recommendation to be considered by councillors on Thursday.

Auckland’s supply dams are 72 per cent full, compared with a norm of 91 per cent, and the region is relying heavily on the Waikato River pipeline for 40 per cent of its needs.

Some Aucklanders have been coming up with innovative ways to conserve water.

What kind of water saving tips do you have?
