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.
