Auckland Council said it is aware of the issue and there will be increased litter patrols, but denies the removal of a bin has contributed to the problem.

What do they think bins exist for?

I wonder if they really got their 8.5m savings or are they replacing one known spot to get the rubbish with a more expensive litter patrol team?

I guess I just don't really understand why, if they think the bin is underutilised, why aren't they getting their savings by only emptying every second day or whatever. Why are they spending money to remove 30% of their public bins?

It's even, obviously, wealth based.

Fuck you poor people, take your trash home.

These fuckers keep comparing places like London, where fewer bins meant fewer IRA bombs, to here where fewer bins mean more dumping.

Fewer bombs, but more litter.
