Aucklanders clash over proposed fortnightly rubbish collection

It's an idea that some Aucklanders want to see binned before it's even begun, while others say moving from weekly to fornightly rubbish collection is a no brainer. Submissions opened last week on a proposal halve the number of collections in the suburbs of Panmure, Te Atatu Peninsula and Clendon Park, with the pilot scheme to be expanded should it prove successful. Aucklanders create enough rubbish to fill Eden Park pretty much every week and the council hopes it will encourage people to seperate their waste properly and reduce what goes to landfill.
