If you're in Auckland you have already, or are about to, get a new bin to put out with your rubbish. Small green-topped bins are being provided to households for the collection of organic waste. Some residents are pleased, but for others the whole scheme stinks.

People are complaining about food scrap collection which is starting in Auckland.

My favourite complaint:

"I think it is too small, and when it’s full it’s heavy.

It’s too small, except when it’s full then it’s too big.

    Our has not been collected for the last 2 weeks, I guess they gave up. I think this was a good initiative but poorly executed, as expected.

      That sucks. You should complain to the council, so they know and can work to improve it.

        I finally did, they came and emptied my bin an my neighbours the next day.
