Rubbish Direct

Comprehensive Waste Solutions in Auckland

Innovation is vital to us as we strive to develop better ways to serve our customers and create alternative recycling services for food waste, cooking oil, and coffee cups. Since 1999, Rubbish Direct, a 100% New Zealand-owned company, has been at the forefront of this effort. In 2001, we introduced Auckland’s first mixed recycling bin, making recycling more convenient and diverting recyclables from landfills.
