Rodney will get a new rates-funded rubbish service from Monday 1 September 2025.
Switching to a bin is better for the environment than using single-use plastic bags.
If you currently use a private rubbish collection service, contact them before 1 September 2025 to find out what to do with your existing rubbish bin.
Why this is happening
We are standardising waste services in Auckland so that every property receives the same:
- level of service
- types of bins
- payment options.
We made this decision after consulting on the
Annual Budget for 2022/2023.

New rubbish bin delivery
We will deliver a standard 120L rubbish bin to your property from Monday 30 June 2025.
A standard 120L bin is suitable for a household with up to three people and is equal to two 60L rubbish bags.
Request a larger or smaller bin
From 24 February until 18 May 2025, the ratepayer of your property can request:
- a larger 240L bin, suitable for a household with four or more people
- a smaller 80L bin, suitable for a household with up to two people.
Use the 'Request a bin service' form, select 'Request bins for a new waste service' and select 'Rubbish Bin Small (80L)' or 'Rubbish Bin Large (240L)'.
Request a bin service
Only use this form if you want a smaller or larger rubbish bin. Tenants must ask the ratepayer of the property to complete this form.
Non-residential properties
If you are the ratepayer or landlord of a non-residential property, you can request a new rubbish bin. Learn
