When people hear “green waste,” they automatically think of environmental waste, such as leaves and grass. While this is correct, people sometimes misinterpret what else counts as green waste.
Green waste includes biodegradable materials that are typically found in your backyard. Keep in mind that not everything you find outside your house can go into your bin. While it usually includes green materials, it can be more than just the plants you expected.
An excellent way to think of it is if it grows outside, it can most likely be put in the green waste bin. To discover what we accept in a green waste skip bin, keep reading below.
Grass, flower trimmings and leaves
Our green waste bins accept light green waste materials such as leaves, flower trimmings, and grass clippings. While thin pieces of leaves may seem minimal, they can create a mess on your lawn or roof when they clump together.
Piles of grass clippings can also be inconvenient to dispose of, especially on larger properties. When hiring this waste type, large amounts of both can be disposed of in the skip.
Branches and twigs
Twigs and small to medium branches can be placed in our green waste skip bins. Smaller-scale tree trunks and stumps are also allowed.
Please note that trunks and stumps over 150mm in diameter are not accepted. Nor are palm trunks and timber sleepers. We recommend chipping these pieces into wood chips.
Woodchips and bark
Our green waste skips accept small, light timber pieces such as wood chips, tree clippings, and bark. These are considered small pieces of light timber.
While light timber is allowed, larger pieces of wood, such as large planks, are not permitted in this waste type.
What isn’t allowed in our green waste bins
While this waste category suits backyard spring cleaning sessions and landscaping projects, not all materials generated from these situations are allowed in our bin. Items such as dirt, rocks, soil, large trunks and stumps over 150mm in diameter, palm trunks and timber sleepers ARE NOT accepted.
To ensure traces of dirt and clay are not collected, please separate them and do not shovel dirt in with pieces of wood or bark.
For dirt and clay waste, we recommend hiring our specialised dirt and clay waste type. As for large trunks and stumps, please speak to our team on 02 4708 2927 to recommend a skip bin for you.
Once your skip has been taken, we go through the biodegradable materials and recycle waste where permitted. A lot of this can be compacted and recycled for further gardening purposes.
