Re: public use dustbins
I refer to your email, which we received on 05 October 2020, requesting information about
public use dustbins.
•
How many public use dustbins have been installed over the last 3 years in the
Auckland region.
•
How many public use dustbins have been replaced over the last 3 years in the
Auckland region.
Waste Solutions
Our Waste Solutions department have advised that there have been 131 new litter bins
installed. Out of those 131 bins, 69 were replaced in the past 3 years.
Decisions pertaining to the release of this information have been made by
Parul Sood,
General Manager Waste Solutions.
The Waste Solutions departments figures are separate from our Community Facilities bin
numbers (from when they took over streetscapes work in 2019 and their own Parks bins) and
Auckland Transport bin numbers (for their Park and Ride and transport hubs-Britomart etc).
Community Facilities
The table below details the approximate number of bins we have installed and replaced broken
down by bin type. Street bin numbers are only available from July 2019, as these assets were
