Track Record

To date City Parks Services has been contracted to Auckland City Council for the cleaning of the streets and footpaths, to keep the city looking clean and tidy. This is a 24-hour service with much of the cleaning taking place during the early hours of the morning. We undertake both mechanical and manual sweeping of footpaths and streets as well as litter collection. An orderly also carries out spot cleaning in the Central Business District (CBD), Karangahape Road, Newmarket, and Ponsonby shopping districts during the day.

The cleaning schedule varies throughout the city with high use areas such as the CBD being cleaned continually throughout the day. The shopping areas in the suburbs are cleaned nightly. Main arterial routes are swept weekly and residential streets are swept approximately every twelve weeks. Frequencies and exact cleaning schedules are planned appropriate in area's use. Litter bins are emptied daily.
