He said one truck and crew were sent to the scene, and they left just after 6am.
Photos from the scene show a large pile of rubbish dumped off to the side of the road along the outside of Eden Park.
He also said incidents like this “were not very common” and it is unknown at this stage what caught fire inside the truck.
The manager said the driver followed “standard procedure” by dumping the load on to the roadside.

New World Victoria Park employed 189 staff before it was badly damaged in the blaze on June 17, resulting in all the workers being made redundant. While 80 roles were reserved for workers at a new supermarket in Pt Chevalier and others have been employed elsewhere, more than 70 are yet to find jobs. The five workers claim Foodstuffs North Island has given positions in other supermarkets to younger, less experienced members of staff while they're still out of work.
The response: Foodstuffs has pushed back strongly on the workers' claims, arguing age, gender and ethnicity are never factors in its recruitment. A company spokesman said 106 former Victoria Park team members had secured roles with other Foodstuffs stores and another nine had found other employment. "We’re continuing to connect remaining team members with roles that match their availability, travel preferences and experience," the spokesman said.

Life gets busy—really busy. Between work, family, appointments, and a never-ending to-do list, it’s easy for things to pile up. Add fast fashion, online sales, and homewares aisles that whisper “just one more basket won’t hurt”, and suddenly we’re swimming in stuff and tat.

Sometimes, that stuff is cozy and familiar. But other times, after a long day, you walk through the door, look around, and think: “Okay. Something’s got to go.”
And when that urge to declutter hits, the question is—where does it all go? We're not talking about broken bits and pieces, but those perfectly good things that simply no longer fit your life or your space.
In her piece When decluttering can’t be avoided much longer, Joanna Davis shares the everyday items she's finally ready to part with—and it might just inspire your own clear-out mission.
We want to know:
🧹 How often do you get the urge to declutter?
🎯 Are there certain things you’ve got your eye on to donate or rehome?
💛 Do you have any favourite charities, op-shops, or community organisations you support with your preloved items?
Let’s swap stories, share ideas, and help great stuff find a second life—outside our closets and shelves.
