NHC was one of our original clients here at Green Coast Rubbish, and they have stuck with us since the very beginning. We compost materials, provide roll-off bins for all manner of projects, and remove, reuse and recycle a variety of materials on their behalf.
Why we like them:
“It was our philosophy of environmental consciousness that initially attracted NHC to work with us and ultimately aligned both our companies so well,” says Eamonn Duignan, President & CEO of Green Coast Rubbish.
“While our everyday work is obviously very different, it’s incredibly rewarding to work with a company that shares our goals around creating healthy and sustainable communities.”
