Northland Waste acting manager Graeme Pleydell.
Northland Waste was formed in 2009 following the amalgamation of several independently owned refuse and recycling companies in the Northland region. The company is proudly 100% New Zealand owned and operated. It provides a variety of residential and commercial waste collection services throughout Northland.
Which regional charitable groups, not-for-profits, or schools does your business support on a regular basis?
Warkworth-Wellsford Hospice is the biggest focus of charitable dollars for us, though we do support smaller groups around the region.
What made you decide to support these particular groups?
All of the groups we support are fantastic community organisations that not only appreciate the support, but also need it.
What form does your support take?
Through our successful orange rubbish bag campaign, Northland Waste has contributed over $9000 in the last year alone.
How many locals does your business employ?
Northland Waste employs more than 120 people over the Rodney and Northland regions.
Do you use/support other local businesses for your supplies/services?
We absolutely do! We’re locally owned but are faced with major competitors owned by offshore interests, so we know how important it is to support other local businesses.
Why do you think it’s important for locals to ‘shop locally’?
We value the local relationships that are created by using local business and, in turn, the business this brings. It’s important to ensure employment and ultimately spending dollars to keep our local economy strong.
