Kiwi's leading the way with honest, local and affordable waste & recycling solutions.
Here at Low Cost Bins, we firmly believe in the power of community. Our story began in Porirua 15 years ago, when our founder put a plan in place to make a positive change. In an industry dominated by large multinationals, the vision was simple: To provide a local, honest, and affordable waste and recycling service that puts customers first.
In our Kiwi endeavour, we're in it together.
From the beginning, we've viewed our people as our most valuable asset. We are committed to nurturing their growth and development while creating a safe and supportive environment. Moreover, we recognize the importance of investing in our staff members by providing continuous training and upskilling opportunities. We are also invested in the local community and actively work towards employing local people. We are dedicated to delivering a quality workplace for our employees and strive to cultivate a positive working atmosphere that supports excellence, collaboration, and innovation.
Bring Low Cost Bins to the People
Low Cost Bins was born in Porirua in September 2006. We had just three employees and a vision to make waste more affordable and flexible for the people of our community.
The early days were far from easy, but we never lost sight of our goal to challenge the stronghold of the corporate giants by providing exceptional local services that were more responsive and cost-effective than the rest. We kept our focus on putting the customer first, and soon enough, word spread about us, and our customer base began to expand rapidly. As demand grew, so did we.
Pioneering change in the waste industry
Flexible Payment Options
In 2006 we entered the market strong, bringing customers an industry first direct debit payment option. It was important to us to let customers choose the day that worked best for them to make a payment and give flexible payment options making waste accessible for everyone.
Red Bins
We shook up the status quo from the dark green wheelie bins and brought in bright red wheelie bins to the market. Red now being the Waste Minimisation industry standard for general waste.
Low Cost Prices
When looking around the Lower Central Region it was clear to us that prices were favouring the corporate giants rather than the community. We brought Low Cost prices to the people making markets more competitive and waste more accessible for local people.
Putting community first
We firmly believe in businesses doing their part to help local communities thrive. That's why at Low Cost Bins, we make sure to hire locally, invest in infrastructure locally, and sponsor local events and charities.
Then we joined Northland Waste
In 2013 we joined the Northland Waste Family and have never looked back. Joining another New Zealand-owned business that held the same core values and mission to provide a local, honest, and affordable waste and recycling service that puts customers first.
So now we are 16 years old and continually evolving. We're still the same Low Cost Bins that we started as still putting our community first, keeping our prices Low Cost and now bringing our services to Local Businesses too. As we continue growing, we have stayed true to our simple vision; and our core values remain unchanged:
Always local, always kiwi.
