A never-ending pile of rubbish outside a block of Kāinga Ora flats in Hamilton East is irking locals who otherwise adore their neighbourhood.

The problem, it seems, is the collection of council bins that are never taken in and attract opportunist dumpers who couldn’t care less about the aesthetics of Firth St and those who call it home.
