Information for rural rubbish bag customers

Bins are better for the environment

We recommend you use bins instead of bags to dispose of your rubbish or recycling.

Switching to a bin is better for the environment than using a single-use plastic bag for every waste collection. The first step is to order a new bin for your property.

What to do if you want to continue using bags

If you live in a rural property, you can choose to use council bags to dispose of your rubbish.

Email ratesfunded@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz with your property address or rates assessment number.

Once you have emailed us, we will deliver to you approximately six months’ worth of bags. This will happen close to the time when our rates-funded collection service starts in your area.
