[Video: A woman carries a small white caddy with a black lid into a kitchen and places it on the kitchen bench.]
Voice: Auckland’s food scraps collection service is so simple to use. Let me show you.

[Video: Close-up of woman tearing off a pink compostable bin liner from a roll and opening it (using pinch and rub technique) and lining the kitchen caddy with it.]
Voice: To open the bag, pinch the bag between your fingers until the top opens. These can be purchased at supermarkets and libraries. You can also just use paper to line your caddy. Easy.

[Video: Outside on a suburban street, a rubbish bin and recycling bin are standing on the green berm near the kerb. The woman carries the food scraps bin and places it to the side of the rubbish bin leaving a gap of a metre or more from the other bin. The black handle is standing upright ready to be picked up. She walks out of shot.]
Voice: Every little bit of food scraps counts. So even if you have a handful, please put it out for collection weekly. All done!
