Refund Policy
Last updated: 10 May 2026
We want you to be happy with our service. This policy explains when and how refunds are given.
Subscription cancellations
You can cancel your subscription at any time. Email noah@wanacleanbin.co.nz with your order number and we'll cancel within 24 hours.
How cancellation works:
-
Your subscription stops at the end of your current billing period
-
You will not be charged again
-
We do not refund the unused portion of your current period — your final clean is the one already paid for
-
We do not lock you into contracts or charge cancellation fees
When we will issue a refund
We will issue a full or partial refund in these situations:
-
We didn't show up — if we miss a scheduled clean due to our error and don't reschedule within 7 days, we'll refund the full amount for that clean
-
Service couldn't be completed — if we couldn't reach your bins (and it wasn't due to your access instructions being wrong), we'll either reschedule for free or refund
-
Quality issues you reported within 7 days that we couldn't fix — if we can't re-clean satisfactorily, we'll refund that visit
When we will not issue a refund
We will not refund in these situations:
-
Cleans we have already completed to a reasonable standard
-
Subscriptions cancelled mid-period (you keep the service until the end of the period you've paid for)
-
Cleans we couldn't deliver due to incorrect access information you provided
-
Cleans we couldn't deliver due to weather, council restrictions, or other things outside our control (we'll reschedule instead)
-
Bins that were too contaminated or contained hazardous material (see our Terms & Conditions)
How to request a refund
Email noah@wanacleanbin.co.nz with:
-
Your order number (in your confirmation email)
-
The reason for the refund request
-
Any supporting details (photo, date of the clean, etc.)
We aim to respond within 24 hours and process refunds within 5 business days. Refunds are issued back to the original payment method.
Disputes
If you're not happy with how we've handled your refund, you have the right to take the matter to the Disputes Tribunal of New Zealand or the Commerce Commission. We'd much prefer to resolve things directly though — email us first and we'll do our best.
