Meet the Dynamic Duo Behind Tidy Bins
Lynnette and Kevin are the partners and owners of Tidy Bins. For over 20 years, they've been keeping Canterbury clean, rain or shine.
From Air NZ to Tidy Bins
"I left my job as an Air NZ Loader when we purchased Tidy Bins from our neighbour 20 years ago. I have never looked back. I love getting out and about meeting our customers. Every day is different." — Kevin
What started as a neighbourly business transaction has grown into a true family legacy. We've got twin teenage boys and an adult son who all help out in the business here and there (we're very grateful for the extra hands!).
It just doesn't get more family owned and operated than this. We're not a faceless corporation; we're the folks who actually pick up your bin, answer your calls, and care about doing a good job for our community.
Meet the Dynamic Duo
Partners in life and business. When you call us, you're talking to the owners.
Kevin
Company Director & Bin Collector
Kevin is the company director, but he's also one of the team emptying your bin! You'll often find him or one of our other friendly drivers quietly going about business, ensuring dependable service rain or shine.
Lynnette
Admin Manager & Operations
The other half of this dynamic duo. Lynnette works closely with Kevin in the business and is the friendly voice you'll find on the end of the phone whenever you call. She keeps the wheels turning behind the scenes.
