Garden waste skip bin hire in Melbourne: picking the size

Branches tangle and trap air, so a pile in the yard takes more room in the bin than it looks. If you're between two sizes, take the bigger one rather than overfill.

  • Small garden tidy

    2m³–3m³about 8–12 wheelie bins

    A few shrubs cut back, a bed weeded, one season's leaves.

    Quote a 3m³ bin

  • Hedge trim and seasonal prune

    4m³about 16 wheelie bins

    Where we'd start for most garden clean-ups: hedges, roses, shrubs and a big mow.

  • Tree branches and big yard clean-ups

    6m³–8m³about 25–33 wheelie bins

    A tree skip bin for lopped limbs, overgrown fence lines or a yard that's been left a while.

    Clearing a whole garden before new landscaping or a sale.

What happens to green waste

Clean green waste is commonly shredded and recycled into mulch or compost rather than sent to landfill.

That's why a clean load of garden waste is worth keeping clean: the less rubbish mixed in, the more of it can come back as something useful.

Garden almanac

Spring and autumn clean-ups, season by season

Melbourne gardens tend to have two big moments: the spring growth spurt and the autumn cut-back. Plan a green waste bin hire around them and do the whole job in one go.

  1. Now Sep–Nov

    Spring Big clean-up

    Prune after flowering, catch up on the first big mows and weed beds before they seed.

  2. Now Dec–Feb

    Summer

    Clear dry growth and fallen branches, and keep fast-growing hedges in check.

  3. Now Mar–May

    Autumn Big clean-up

    Leaf fall, cutting back perennials and the last big hedge trim before winter.

  4. Now Jun–Aug

    Winter

    Prune roses, fruit trees and deciduous trees while they're dormant, and clear storm branches.

Green waste questions

Green waste bin hire, answered

  1. Can I put tree stumps in a green waste skip?

    Ask us first. Stumps are heavy and awkward to load, so tell us roughly how big they are and how many you have, and we'll let you know whether they can go in.

  2. Is a green waste skip cheaper than general waste?

    The price depends on the type of waste, as well as the bin size and where you are. Tell us it's a green waste load when you ask for a quote. Every quote is a full price upfront with no hidden fees.

  3. Can I put tree branches in a skip bin?

    Yes. Branches and prunings are green waste. Cut longer limbs into shorter lengths so they pack tighter and you fit more in. Bins from 3m³ up have a walk-in door, which makes dragging branches in easier.

  4. Is garden waste recycled?

    Clean green waste is commonly shredded and recycled into mulch or compost rather than sent to landfill.
