Green waste is plant waste that is rich in nitrogen, such as weeds, grass clippings, prunings from trees and shrubs, palm fronds, and fresh leaves. Once dried, they lose much of the nitrogen and become brown waste, rich in carbon. The combination of green waste and brown waste makes great compost.

What is Garden Waste?

Garden waste is green waste and other rubbish that sits in your garden, which can include weeds, grass clippings, branches, old or rotting fences and decks, broken ornaments and pots and old garden equipment and furniture.

Why is it Important to Remove Garden Waste?

The removal of green waste and garden waste stops the introduction of pest plants that can kill native plants and prevents harmful gases being emitted from decomposing green waste that has the potential to start fires as well as become fire fuel loads in fire-prone areas. Organising a green and garden waste collection can also avoid bringing in pest animals and diseases into your neighbourhood. Learn more about the importance of garden waste removal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as green waste?

Green waste includes organic garden material such as grass clippings, weeds, leaves, branches, palm fronds and tree prunings. These items are rich in nutrients and can often be recycled into compost or mulch.

What is the difference between green waste and garden waste?

Green waste refers specifically to plant-based materials. Garden waste is broader and can include non-organic items found outdoors, such as old pots, broken furniture, fencing, timber and general yard debris.

Do you take more than just green waste?

Yes. Along with vegetation and garden clippings, we can remove old outdoor furniture, sheds, fencing, play equipment, ornaments, cubby houses, pergolas and other unwanted items or garden waste cluttering your yard.

Why not just use the council green bin?

Council green bins are useful for small amounts of waste, but they fill up quickly after big garden jobs. For larger clean-ups, renovations, storms or property clearances, a professional removal service is much faster and more convenient.

Do you recycle the garden waste you collect?

Wherever possible, yes. We follow all Brisbane City Council and Queensland regulations to ensure all collected green waste is processed at council resource recovery centres and recycling facilities.

Can you help with heavy or bulky items?

Absolutely. Our team handles all the lifting and loading, even for large or awkward items like water tanks, timber sleepers, fencing and outdoor structures.

Do I need to prepare the waste before you arrive?

Not at all. Just show us what needs to go, and we’ll take care of the rest – including dismantling items if required. We can handle green waste removal from challenging locations, including steep slopes and narrow passages.
