A new business is providing a kerbside bagged rubbish collection service in Whanganui, just as the previous provider bows out.
Waste Management, which also provides a bin service, will stop collecting rubbish bags from December 31.
New entrant Low Cost Bins is offering a similar rubbish bag service, co-owner Colin Cashmore said. Stickers can be bought at supermarkets and most mini-marts and will cost around $3.80 a bag. Bags will be collected in the city and peri-urban area.
Low Cost Bins has also been offering wheelie bins in three sizes since November.
"We are extremely grateful for community support. We are new to the market. Without that [support] we would be struggling," Cashmore said.
