Fifty bins and 13 seats along Jackson Street were replaced and three new bins installed near the bus stops in 2023.
Old bins and seats were recycled and some may be refurbished for other parts of the city.
The design
The bin design is a pīngao, a distinctive plant found growing on frontal dunes all around New Zealand. The design is subtle, allowing the heritage architecture to remain the star of Jackson Street. The pīngao can be found on the Petone foreshore, so connects the Esplanade to the heart of Petone.
