We are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace where everyone feels respected, supported, and valued for their unique perspectives and contributions. We strive to create an environment where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work, allowing us to innovate, collaborate, and create a better future for our organisation and the communities we serve. 

Our team at Northland Waste attended the Northland Business Excellence Awards in 2022, where we won the Te Mana Oranga Workplace Diversity and Inclusion Award! We are incredibly proud of this achievement, as it recognises our ongoing efforts to create an inclusive and diverse workplace environment. 

Here is what the judges had to say:
“Northland Waste Ltd provide an awesome and essential service in our community. Led by Darren Shanks, the team know he has their back. He leads not just from the office, but by example, with a roll-up your sleeves and get the job done attitude. He knows everyone on his team and the challenges some have endured just to be at work. Despite others having more colourful and eventful backgrounds, Shanksy (as he is more affectionately known) has been happy to give them all a second chance. As long as they turn up to work, carry out their work safely, and look out for each other. ”

We are absolutely elated for our team and Shanksy for their incredible accomplishments and the well-deserved recognition they have earned! Congratulations!
