I've received clarification from MPI on how those in Zone A and Zone B should handle grass clippings. Below is also info on the food scraps collection and an update on public bin locations.

GRASS CLIPPINGS:
If you live in Zone A:
If you have no fruit trees on your property, dispose of your lawn clippings as you normally would.

If you do have fruit trees:
* Put your lawn clippings in the biosecurity collection bins on your property.
* You can also continue to use green waste bags or bins for your clippings - MPI will also manage this waste.
* If you normally leave your clippings on your property, you can continue to do so.

If you live in Zone B:
If you have no fruit trees on your property, dispose of your lawn clippings as you usually would.

If you do have fruit trees:
* Put your lawn clippings in the public biosecurity collection bins. These can be found roughly every 400 metres and at every exit around the perimeter of Zone B.
* You can also continue to use green waste bags or bins for your clippings - MPI will also manage this waste.
* If you normally leave your clippings on your property, you can continue to do so.

RUBBISH BIN LOCATIONS:
Every household in Zone A has been issued with it's own biosecurity bin.
For Zone B, a public biosecurity bin has been positioned roughly every 400 metres and at every exit around the perimeter of Zone B.
The MPI team is currently on the ground geotagging the bins, and hope to have an accurate map of all bin locations up on their website by the end of tomorrow (Weds).

FOOD SCRAP COLLECTION:
➡️ ourauckland.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz...

If you live in Zone A, there will be no food scraps collections until further notice. All food scraps (fruit, vege, meat, cooked meal scraps, dairy products, rice and pasta etc) should also go into your biosecurity bin.

If you live in Zone B, the food scrap collection will continue, however any homegrown produce waste and garden waste (including grass clippings) must be disposed of in the public biosecurity bins.
