Final bins on their way
We're very pleased to report that the final shipment of bins has arrived, the bins are being assembled and will be dispatched over the coming days. There is no need to contact us at this stage. Please be patient and we will get your bins to you.
This last shipment will be going to the 3000 households we notified and gave rubbish bags to and the other households who told us that they hadn't received their bins.
We will be providing information soon on when we will be picking up your old green crate for recycling, if you don't wish to keep it.
We have delivered bins to nearly 40,000 households. We are sorry to everyone who did not receive their bins as planned and thank you for your patience.
For everyone else getting used to the new service, please use the Too Good Waste web-app to confirm your next collection day and to see which bins to put out, as well as other useful tips: www.toogoodtowaste.co.nz... ♻️♻️♻️

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
