Their Nelson family-run business is hoping for clearance from the Commerce Commission to buy the waste collection assets of Betta Bins. (File photograph)The Commerce Commission has invited submissions on the likely competitive effects of the proposed acquisition of the waste collection assets of Betta Bins by Nelson rubbish collection business Can Plan. The acquisition proposal does not involve the Betta Bins recycling business. Can Plan argues that the proposed transaction will not substantially lessen competition for waste collection services in the Nelson-Tasman region. “There are no barriers or restrictions to any commercial waste collection company expanding into any part of either of the two regions,” the application says.
