About The City Bin Co.:
The City Bin Co. was co-founded in 1997 by two entrepreneurs, Glenn Ward and Gene Browne. Their concept of a waste management and recycling company that was cheaper, greener and easier was a response to a market that demanded a more professional and customer-orientated provider. This customer driven approach to waste management resulted in an award-winning service that has not only raised the bar, but has also reshaped and redefined the sector. The City Bin Co. has a long record of innovation and excellence in business, being the first in the industry to be placed on the ‘Index of Excellence’ by EIQA, the organisation that promotes a range of excellence and quality awards including the prestigious Q-mark.
