Council Services

Civic Group have been cleaning public facilities since its inception in 1987. Today, Civic Group cleans more than 400 public toilets and changing rooms in the Auckland region. We have introduced innovative solutions in these contracts, including EV vehicles, the use of ECNZ-only chemicals, facility usage monitors, and more.

Civic Group has many years’ experience and a proven track record in collecting litter, binned waste and illegal dumping for councils, communities and businesses throughout the North Island. We understand what is required to ensure rubbish-free environments.

We have a large range of innovative vehicles including EV and standard compactor trucks, hi-ab trucks, cage trucks, and vehicles designed for kerb-side and park work.

Whatever your waste collection needs, we can help.

Graffiti removal can be challenging, but Civic Group can help. We specialise in removing all types of graffiti, safely and quickly – from most substrates. Our solutions are environmentally friendly, biodegradable, non-caustic and neutralised with water, and our expert operators have years of experience to ensure you get excellent results.

Additionally, we provide a range of sacrificial and permanent protective coatings for wood, concrete, granite, plastic, metal and brick surfaces to protect surfaces and allow for zero impact removals.

Our graffiti removal services include:

• Anti-graffiti protective coating applications

We operate mobile, environmentally friendly steam cleaning units from specially customised vehicles with their own power and water supply. We also have noise-cancelling units and equipment that collect waste water, minimising the impact on waterways and the environment.

Wet scrubbing gets great results, and works well in conjunction with mechanical sweeping services. Mechanical scrubbing is ideal for removing oil and grease stains, gum, mould, vegetation and other unwanted dirt from a broad variety of substrates – and protecting against future build-up of dirt and grime.

Our innovative scrubbing machines cover large areas efficiently, while protecting our waterways by ‘picking up’ the waste water used in the scrubbing process. Additionally, and depending on the task, Civic Group is able to use biodegradable detergents.

Our mechanical scrubbing equipment consists of:

• Compact cabin scrubbers (Hako)
• Ride-on scrubbers (Tennant)

Our mechanical scrubbing services can cover:

• Car parks and parking buildings
• Building entrances and surrounds
• Factory floors and warehouses
• Malls and town centres
• Pavement cleaning
