Green Coast Rubbish is committed to making a difference — in the services we provide, our contributions to the local community and our impact on the environment.
We successfully diverted over 560 tonnes of waste from landfills in 2019 — a diversion rate of 77 percent! Our goal is to continue improving with the ultimate aspiration of achieving a 100 percent diversion rate. Possible? At Green Coast Rubbish we shoot for the stars.
Our business is dynamic, and through our custom recycling & reuse programs, we are always finding new ways to recycle, repurpose and reuse materials that would otherwise end up in our landfills.
