If your job is pure garden waste — clippings, branches, lawn, soil, weed piles — book a green waste bin and you'll pay 20-30% less than a general skip.

The rule is strict: green in green. One plastic bag of rubbish contaminates the load and bumps it into general-waste pricing.

What counts as green waste

Everything that grew out of the ground in your yard. Some stuff people think is green waste actually isn't — so here's the clean list.

Yes — goes in a green bin

  • Grass clippings, lawn turf, weed piles
  • Pruned branches under 100mm diameter
  • Hedge trimmings, leaves, bark
  • Soil (small amounts — for larger loads ask for a soil bin)
  • Fallen fruit and vegetable matter
  • Small tree stumps — under 300mm diameter
  • Untreated timber offcuts from a garden project

No — contaminates the load

  • Treated timber, fence palings, pine decking (chemical treatment)
  • Plant pots, plastic bags, weed mat
  • Concrete path offcuts, paver remnants
  • Tree stumps over 300mm (book a separate stump bin)
  • Any household rubbish — even a single bag contaminates the whole load
Heads up

Contamination = reclassification

If the bin comes back with household rubbish mixed in, we have to send it to the general waste stream and charge the higher rate. Clean green waste stays clean — one plastic bag costs you the whole discount.

When to book a green waste bin vs a mixed bin

If more than 90% of your load is garden waste, book green. If you're mixing garden waste with general rubbish — old paint tins, broken furniture, cardboard — book mixed.

Landscaper trade accounts

We run trade accounts for Perth landscapers doing multi-property rounds. Fixed weekly pickup, scheduled swap-outs, and seasonal pricing that accounts for the spring clean-up rush.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. One plastic bag is enough to reclassify the whole load. If you've got a small amount of general rubbish alongside the garden waste, either book a general bin or bag the rubbish separately and keep it out.
Yes, but soil is the only thing that usually hits it. A 4m³ green bin can take about 1.5 tonnes of soil before the limit. Pure garden clippings almost never reach the cap.
A quarter-acre block in spring — hedges, lawn, weed piles — usually needs a 3m³ or 4m³. Half-acre with trees gets you to a 6m³. Landscapers on full backyard redesigns usually book the 8m³.
Yes — stump grindings are fine in a standard green bin. Whole stumps over 300mm diameter need a dedicated stump bin because they damage our shredder.
