Show Notes
Aucklanders are strongly rejecting a proposed fortnightly rubbish collection trial in select suburbs.
The six month trial would start in February, and involve 10-thousand homes in Te Atatu Peninsula, Panmure, Tamaki, Clendon Park and Weymouth.
Of the more than five thousand submissions, 78 percent were opposed.
Auckland Council's Waste Solutions General Manager Justine Haves told Heather du Plessis-Allan that a final decision will be made next month, but their goal is to cut down waste.
She says there's lots of evidence from other councils that fortnightly collections makes a huge difference to the volume of waste.
