Contractors clean the following public areas of Manukau City:

Cleaning of public areas is funded through rates.

Litterbins

Council-provided litterbins are restricted to shopping areas that are on public land. Privately developed shopping areas are required to provide council with a Waste Management Plan.

Waste partnerships

In addition to providing rubbish and recycling services, we also work with Central Government and other partners on waste issues. We regulary make submissions to the Government on policy and legislation, and take part in the Auckland Regional Waste Forum.
