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?
