Dozens of bins removed from Auckland streets dumped
Auckland Council said dozens of bins removed from Auckland streets and dumped in a council work site will remain there in case they're needed for parts. The council this year said it would remove 30 percent of the region's public rubbish bins, with the project expected to save ratepayers at least nine million dollars. But some residents are unhappy with where the bins have been left, many in a heap out in the open, near Auckland Domain, Jessica Hopkins reports.
