Tree stump and telegraph pole disposal

• Stumps over 300 mm across, with or without root ball
• Telegraph poles and large treated butts
• Oversized trunk sections

Branches, prunings and small timber are green waste, not stumps, and they are charged on a different line — the split is the 300 mm measurement, so measure across the cut face before you decide which load you are bringing.

Rate

$450 / tonne

Minimum

$450 min

Weighed over the weighbridge and charged by the tonne, against a minimum for small loads.

Rates include GST.

All 11 streams, and how each is charged →

Knock the dirt off the root ball where you can — soil rides on the weighbridge as part of the load, so a clean stump is a cheaper stump. Chains or straps rather than a loose stack.

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.
