Aucklanders are increasingly putting the
Aucklanders are increasingly putting the wrong stuff in their recycling bins, often resulting in the whole lot going to landfill.
The council has found that so-called "bin contamination" in the city has doubled over the last three years to over 20 percent of total waste.
And recycling bins in public spaces are even worse, a staggering 80 per cent of their contents shouldn't be there.
The city's bins are also turning up some pretty weird items, ranging from a samurai sword to prosthetic body parts.
Reporter Louise Ternouth and Camera Operator Marika Khabazi went for a ride along with some Auckland Council rubbish collectors to get a closer look.
