Rubbish Direct Ltd.

Rubbish Direct Ltd is a great NZ success story. It is a classic story about a couple of mates who had no knowledge of the “Waste Industry” - buying a second hand rubbish truck and embarking on a dream to build a business. It was an adventure that started in 1999 around the pool table of the Empire Tavern on a Friday night. Those early “boardroom meetings” were the catalyst for Mark Smith and Rodger Howie developing Rubbish Direct into the business that it is today. “At that stage we had an old truck, one or two customers and a part time driver. Everybody thought we were mad!”
