What makes us different?
Our main focus is to responsibly remove waste from our country, but not for ourselves, for the betterment of society as a whole as well as others – individuals and communities alike. When you work with us, we make sure you can make a valuable contribution, to your home, your community, and to the economy of this country.
How we do this?
In a word… Hope. Our goal is to give hope to you for a better future. We also give education to those who want to better themselves. Then we create opportunities for those who want to grow in responsibility and grow in income.
Why We Exist
We believe, if what we do does not benefit others, we don’t have the right to exist.

Respect
To us, everyone is important no matter what their position is. Each individual has value, we respect age for the wisdom that comes with it, and youth for the energy that comes with it. We also respect the diversity of each culture, each culture is unique and it brings something unique to our business.
Integrity
To us, integrity means we do what we say we’ll do and are always accountable for our mistakes. We also work to make sure we’re always doing what’s right.
Humility
No one person has more value than someone else. We don’t think less of ourselves, we just think of ourselves less. We truly believe that as long as you’re being humble, you’re able to make a contribution.
Family
We don’t do business at the expense of family, but when you work at or with WastePlan you are in a family – we treat you like family. And we do our best to honour our families.
Fairness
To us, equal opportunity and equal treatment to all is something we feel strongly about. We show no favouritism, no individual gets special treatment and no individual is above the law.
