Jump in for a ride and get to know Waimakariri’s ‘rubbish truck lady’.
Meet Leanne, one of five kerbside collection truck drivers working in Waimakariri for WM New Zealand, the contractor for Council’s kerbside collection scheme.
Leanne’s been in the job more than 15 years now and just loves being out there, serving her community.
“What I enjoy most about my job is that every day’s a challenge, every run’s a challenge, every bin’s a challenge.”
Our collection truck drivers have a busy job to do, collecting around 5,000 Council bins and bags in the District each week. Leanne knows a thing or two about bins – what goes in them and what shouldn’t, and where and how to place them on your kerbside.
