Is this a frequent or rare occurrence in your neighbourhood?
Last year Auckland Council fielded 1996 requests for service related to missing bin tags.
This comprised 538 from the North Shore, 331 from Papakura and 1126 from West Auckland.
The council collected nearly 3.5 million bins using tags last year.
The council saw 23 requests for service related to missing tags last week out of around 60,000 bins collected each week in the user pays area.
A council spokeswoman said the average number of requests had not changed since pre-lockdown and marked a 7% reduction from 2019.
Parul Sood, Auckland Council general manager for waste solutions, said missing bin tags are rare but it does happen.
The council recommends residents put their address and date on the tag and delay tagging their bin until close to collection time, he said.
They should report missing tags to Auckland Council on 09 301 0101 so the incident could be tracked and investigated.

The upgrades aim to calm traffic and protect people crossing the road in West Coast Rd and Glendale Rd.
Improvements are also planned for Captain Scott Rd between the West Coast Rd and Oates Rd intersection.
“Glen Eden was chosen for this Vision Zero flagship project because West Coast Road is a high-risk arterial road that needs transformational change to make the town centre safe,” said Greg Presland, Waitakere Ranges local board chairman.
“This is a really neat little town centre and, with the development we see happening around us, we want it to be as safe as possible for the people choosing to call it home.”
Transport agency Waka Kotahi NZ is funding 75 per cent of the project cost.
Go to at.govt.nz... for more information on the upgrade.
Which other roads in west Auckland do you think would benefit from safety improvements?

What should Auckland Council prioritise this year?
Auckland Council plans to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and is set to be one of the biggest challenges that is facing council leaders in 2021.
The Auckland Climate Plan is set to be released to the public for consultation in February, with Councillors already opting for the smaller of the two climate budget proposals.
Water management, both water access and waste water systems are also set to come under review, with Watercare scaling back many projects, which may end up postponing completion by a number of years.

Earlier this month, one of the owners of the store was working behind the counter when a man entered the store and demanded money.
He walked behind the counter to the cash register and took a large sum of money, but the owner very quickly managed to activate the anti-theft smoke canon and the offender fled the shop.
Seeing what happened, the members of the public chased the offender and caught him, holding him until Police arrived soon afterwards.
He was then arrested and taken into custody.
A 40-year-old man has been charged with theft and was due to appear in the Waitakere District Court last week.
The money taken was returned to the dairy owners (pictured on the left), who were very grateful to those who stepped in to help.
A great result and example of people going above and beyond to look out for people in their local community.

I use them for my garden and I have used up all of mine and I desperately need lots more please.
Thank you in advance😉
Aucklanders' water bills could more than double over the next decade, rising $1200.
The likely price hike has been linked to the financial impact of Covid-19 and the region’s drought.
