Office & Buildings
“Rubbish Direct has provided an innovative approach to waste and recycling. Great at service and they freely bring new ideas and solutions to us as our needs have changed.”
“Rubbish Direct is setting the benchmark for their industry, they are a proficient and professional company to deal with, having a high emphasis on sustainability and customer requirements!”
“The Auckland War Memorial Museum prides itself on having easy-to-use, effective, honest recycling systems throughout the building for the public and staff to use. When we decided to expand our recycling regime and include the ability to recycle any and all types of batteries, it was a breath of fresh air to hear that Rubbish Direct also provided a complete battery recycling service matching our needs – as many others couldn’t. We had no hesitation in trying the service, and we now continue to use it several years later. Another point to note is that Rubbish Direct also rent out very well-designed battery recycling stations, we have several of these, and there have been nothing but positive comments from our staff, and they really do encourage recycling. All in all, we are exceptionally happy with Rubbish Directs battery recycling service (and other services) and would recommend them to others without hesitation.”
“Rubbish Direct has assisted Beca to implement a complete waste and recycling programme for our offices in Auckland. As well as disposing of the usual waste streams of paper, glass, plastics and metallic items, Rubbish Direct has developed a specific service to help us recycle earth core samples from industrial sites, which are tested at Beca’s laboratory.
These have been difficult to dispose of in the past, so we have greatly appreciated the help we have received from Rubbish Direct.”
“Rubbish Direct has reduced my OPEX costs, increased the visual appearance of my recycling/loading bay area in a cleaner, more organised way & also increased the available size.
Also, due to being daily removals, this has removed the issues of special event loadings (overflowing) on this area being a visual problem.
In short, a very professional company with good services which improves the performance of the building.”
“Crockers Body Corporate Management is New Zealand’s largest body corporate service provider, and we manage a large number of apartment complexes in the Auckland city area. We have partnered with Rubbish Direct since late 2004. Rubbish Direct brought to the marketplace the ability to be flexible, listen to their clients, provide solutions to issues around collection – space, size, access and offer a cost competitive, clean and friendly service. They are our ‘go to’ company regarding all things rubbish and recycling! Initially, they serviced just the inner Auckland city areas, but now they are able to service our clients who are located further afield. We have no hesitation in recommending them to our developer clients, even when plans may still be on the drawing board as they can help with information that may be needed around waste and rubbish management as part of any consent process. Our working relationship with Rubbish Direct is enjoyable, and that experience is shared by our clients and Building Managers, who also appreciate the service they provide.”
“Strata Title Administration Ltd Rubbish Direct has been collecting rubbish and recycling for dozens of Strata’s body corporate clients for approximately 10 years. The majority of Strata’s clients which are serviced by Rubbish Direct are inner city apartment buildings comprising between 25 and 500 apartments, some of which also include retail units. The benefits that Rubbish Direct bring to the arrangement are:
• Less work for the building managers as the Rubbish Direct drivers collect the rubbish and recycling bins from the rubbish rooms thereby saving the building managers the time that they would otherwise have had to spend moving the bins to the road side.
• Providing a service for sanitising the bins.
• Collection seven days a week, 365 days a year.
• Competitively priced – they provide a superior service for a lower price and best of all you can obtain a rates rebate from Auckland Council by not using the Council rubbish and recycling collection service.
There is simply no better alternative than Rubbish Direct when it comes to rubbish and recycling solutions and we highly recommend their service.”
“Rubbish Direct were so quick to respond to our request for document destruction bins that we had them in place just 4 days after making our enquiry! Fast, friendly and efficient service – Thanks guys.”
“Rubbish Direct is a reliable and efficient service provider. At the facilities we manage, they have effectively tailored consistent service delivery for our waste and recycling disposal requirements.”
Apartments
“Hi there, I would like to praise your driver that uplifted bed base this morning he came on site and did the job, and also went out of his way to help fellow tenants in out of rubbish room in a professional manner. Please send our regards to the driver, and job well done going out of his way. Keep up the great work, rubbish direct is surely and awesome company to do business with, with great friendly staff.”
“We have been with Rubbish Direct for 3 years and the service has been impeccable. Also, their weekend pick ups have proved to be extremely convenient. This was a major problem with the previous contractor and caused me no end of troubles and mess. A fantastic concept and affordable! I would recommend Rubbish Direct to any apartment manager, restaurateur or commercial business.”
“We teamed up with Rubbish Direct in June 2006 and it was ‘The best thing since sliced bread’ with regard to our rubbish! We no longer have to put 40 bins out on the street twice weekly and then hope they would be emptied. Now my bins are emptied 365 days a year, there are only 10 of them, and they come and get them from the rubbish room and put them back! Furthermore the rubbish room stays a lot cleaner and there is a lot more room. As a bonus, the staff of Rubbish Direct are friendly and helpful and the cost is economical. A blessing to all Building Managers!”
“Rubbish Direct services have resulted in both direct and indirect cost savings to our clients with a with a high level of service and professionalism that we would recommend to any multi unit development.”

“Since Rubbish Direct has come onto our site I have had many comments from owners regarding the service they provide. All have been very positive regarding the cleanliness of the service and the helpful drivers that you employ.”

Adrian Cotoros
Hotel Manager
“Just a short note to say thanks to your collectors that call at The Mirage Apartments. These past two weeks, we have had many contractors on site, vehicles and personnel everywhere sometimes making it a bit awkward for the quick service your company offers. I would like to single out Kris on his excellent attitude which I have experienced often when he calls. Keep up the good work.”
“We are new customers of Rubbish Direct. Everyone in the building is very impressed with the service provided. We have reduced the number of bins in the rubbish room from 28 to 9. A huge saving on bin washing alone. Polite staff and clean vehicles.”
