A new rubbish collection method trialled on the North Shore was a runaway success, but there are no plans to roll it out across the Auckland.
In 2021, rubbish collection using radio frequency identification (RFID) was trialled with 498 households in Albany, Beach Haven, Browns Bay, Murrays Bay, Northcross, Torbay and Totara Vale.
RFID is a wireless data transfer method. When a bin fitted with a RFID chip is emptied, payment is deducted from the resident’s account which is linked to their debit card.
The technology eliminates the need for residents to buy bin tags and provided Auckland Council with more insight on trial participants’ waste habits.
Of the 191 residents who completed a trial survey, 92 per cent wanted the service to continue.
“Overall, the trial was successful in providing a convenient, reliable service that ... based on survey responses, achieved very high satisfaction ratings from customers," the post-trial report stated.
However, RFID technology won’t be rolled out widely any time soon, as the council is still deciding whether the region should move entirely to a rates-funded model or a PAYT model.
“Should the region decide to pursue a user pays model, then the RFID payment method could be progressed,” an Auckland Council spokesperson said.

As a semi retired driving instructor I used to own one of Auckland's well known driving schools. I am now offering people my driving lessons experience for free with all the tips and tricks on how to pass a driving test. Most parents do a great job of coaching their children but don't have the tools to get up to test standard. Tips like how to navigate roundabouts and do observation points, lane changing procedures, flush medians, merging, speed zones, how and when to do the MIB - men in black procedures etc and the list goes on.
Please Note : I am trying out this new strategy to save people heaps on driving lessons and also it's a neighbourly gesture so learners can pass their test at VTNZ and avoid critical errors.
