Auckland Inorganic Season = The Best Time of Year to Scout The Streets

Anyone else miss those days when inorganic was all around and could go around the suburbs like a shopping spree with 100% discount? Me definitely, but after the council's change process, it became quite difficult to find out where what is. I've put together a map to make it easier to see collection windows across Auckland

A free map showing when suburbs have their inorganic pickups - so you can plan your routes instead of driving blind. Search by suburb or address, drag the timeline, tap the map.

Know when a neighbourhood is likely to have stuff on the curb: furniture, toys, gear, bits for projects. One person's throw-out is another's find.

Tips: go early, be respectful, leave piles tidy, check it's actually on the kerb for collection. Some items aren't fair game - use common sense.

  • Used to love that time of year walking home from primary school, I snagged all sorts of weird and wonderful gadgets. Only problem is the council now requires rubbish to be located on private property, not on the roadside. So technically you'd be trespassing now, right?

    • Yes - if you are concerned about trespass, then you would have to consider the chances the property owner would sue you for damages :-)

    • It depends of suburbs, in some places most of the time the pile would be on a kerb or on the driveway near a pedestrian path. people usially dont mind who took the rubbish treasure

  • Even though the council requests that items for collection are left inside your property, a large number of people in my area still leave things on the kerbside. So free range "shopping" is still a potentially interesting activity.

    Thanks OP for taking the time to create the map. 👍

  • be respectful

    Folks who leave a mess won't be able to read this. Also hope the same folks won't find your website lol
