A decision to downsize Auckland's household bins has been met with pushback. Councillors have voted to change the default kerbside bin from 120 litres to 80 over time as part of an ongoing war on waste. Lower fees are proposed for households opting for smaller bins, but it could leap up for those with a 240 litre bin. Manurewa-Papakura Ward councillor Daniel Newman says the giant bins could cost about $490. "It's gonna mean that some of the poorest families who need the bigger bin are going to pay an absolute premium for it in order to subsidise the smaller households."
