Green waste disposal — branches, prunings and clippings

• Branches and prunings
• Grass clippings and leaf litter
• Hedge trimmings and small woody garden waste

Soil, turf and potting mix are not green waste even when they arrive with it, and a stump over 300 mm across is charged on its own line. A mixed trailer is fine — the gatehouse will tell you which rates apply — but expect more than one line on the docket.

Rate

$440 / tonne

Minimum

$60 to 100 kg · then $100 min

Light loads are a flat price up to 100 kg. Above that the load is weighed and charged by the tonne, against a minimum.

Rates include GST.

Tip it loose if you can — bags have to be emptied and that is time on the weighbridge. If it is bagged, bring something to empty it into. Net or tarp the load; clippings blow out on the highway.

Mon–Fri 6:30am – 4:00pm · Closed weekends & public holidays. The last load of the day must be tipped and off the weighbridge by 4:00pm. Arrive with enough time to weigh in, tip and weigh out before then — the gate cannot take a load that would still be on the bridge at close.

Within opening hours — Mon–Fri, closed public holidays.

These materials are never accepted, in any quantity. Some other streams are accepted only project by project rather than as walk-in loads, which is a different answer — the fee schedule sets out the terms for those.
