About Us

Always local, always kiwi

Kiwi's leading the way with honest, local and affordable waste & recycling solutions.

Here at Econowaste, we firmly believe in the power of community. Our story began twenty years ago when our founders - an unlikely pair of friends being an environmental scientist and a local contractor - met to 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.

Kiwi hands built our great brands

Just under a decade ago, fueled by a bold dream and a committed team, we ventured to transform the waste and recycling scene in Auckland. We didn't have much to get us started, but we did have a bunch of great people, two trucks, 100 red wheelie bins and a big dream. 

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 rapidly expand. As demand grew, so did we.

Today, thanks to our dedicated team and a pinch of luck, we've earned the trust of 250,000 customers from Wellington to Kaitaia. Represented by three great brands and powered by over 200 trucks, we're leading the way in our industry.

As we continue growing, we have stayed true to our simple vision; and our core values remain unchanged:

Always local, always kiwi.
