Auckland Council denies its move to make rubbish bins smaller is aimed at forcing people to use their food scraps bin.

Councillors have voted, by a narrow majority, to reduce the default bin size from 120-litres to 80-litres.

The Post reports a council evaluation report on the food scraps bins work has been kept private, but its use by households is well below forecast levels.

Auckland Council General Manager Waste Solutions Justine Haves told Mike Hosking the change in default bin size changes nothing for households who already have bins.
