Removal Cost of Public Rubbish Bins
Rose Taffard made this Official Information request to Auckland Council
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Rose Taffard to read recent responses and update the status.
From: Rose Taffard
Dear Auckland Council,
I have already seen that a lot of public rubbish bins in west Auckland have been removed recently.
My questions are as follows:
1/ What was the cost of removal per bin?
2/ Have complaints of litter and rubbish in and around those areas been made or increased since the removal of the bins?
3/ I have noticed on Railside Ave in Henderson that four bins were removed, these bins were highly utilised by public so why were they removed when previously a statement from council staff was that only bins not being used alot were going to be removed?
4/ On Railside Ave in Henderson I have seen multiple times in fact weekly, Auckland Transport buses parked up and the drivers throwing the rubbish out and just leaving it on the side of the road when cleaning their buses, my father has had to pick it all up and throw it in one the rubbish bins yet now that those four bins are removed he has to walk further to find one to put the bus drivers rubbish in, have council considered if the removal of bins resulting in rubbish on the ground and getting into the waterways will only further damage our rivers streams and storm drains?
Yours faithfully,
Rose

4/ On Railside Ave in Henderson I have seen multiple times in fact weekly,
Auckland Transport buses parked up and the drivers throwing the rubbish
out and just leaving it on the side of the road when cleaning their buses,
my father has had to pick it all up and throw it in one the rubbish bins
yet now that those four bins are removed he has to walk further to find
one to put the bus drivers rubbish in, have council considered if the
removal of bins resulting in rubbish on the ground and getting into the
waterways will only further damage our rivers streams and storm drains?
