Green Waste Skip Bins in Melbourne

Dedicated garden-waste skips for soil, branches, prunings and clippings — usually cheaper than a mixed-waste bin.

Tackling an overgrown yard, a big prune or a landscaping job? A green-waste skip bin is the cheapest way to clear it. Because clean garden waste is easy to recycle into mulch and compost, a dedicated green skip is priced lower than a general-waste bin — so keeping your garden load separate genuinely saves you money. We drop the bin, you fill it at your pace, and we take it away for recycling.

What goes in a green-waste skip

• Branches, tree loppings and prunings
• Leaves, grass clippings and weeds
• Plants, hedge trimmings and bark
• Small amounts of soil and turf

Keep it to garden material only and you’ll get the cheaper green-waste rate.

What to keep out (so you keep the cheaper rate)

The moment general rubbish goes in, the whole load is priced as mixed waste. So leave these out of a green skip:

• General household rubbish and junk
• Treated, painted or building timber
• Pots, plastic, bags and packaging
• Rubble, concrete, brick and soil in large volumes

Clearing the house and the garden together? Use a mini skip for the mixed household load and keep the green skip clean — you’ll usually come out cheaper running the two separately.

Why green waste is cheaper

General waste heads to landfill and carries a higher tip fee by weight. Clean garden waste, on the other hand, is processed into mulch and compost — a cheaper, greener outcome — which is why a dedicated green skip costs less. Separating your waste isn’t just tidy; it’s the single easiest way to lower the bill.

Sizes for any garden job

From a 2m³ mini for a weekend tidy-up to larger skips for a full landscaping clear-out or tree job, there’s a size to suit. Green waste is bulky but light, so you often get a lot into a modest bin — call and we’ll help you judge it.

Seasonal garden clean-ups

• Autumn — leaf fall and end-of-season prunings pile up fast
• Spring — the big tidy-up, hedge cut-backs and new-bed prep
• Summer — fire-season clean-ups and clearing dry growth around the home
• After a storm — fallen branches and debris cleared in one go

Green waste skip FAQs

What can go in a green waste skip?

Garden material only — branches, prunings, leaves, grass, weeds, plants, bark, and small amounts of soil or turf. Keep it clean for the cheaper rate.

Why is it cheaper than a general skip?

Clean garden waste is recycled into mulch and compost rather than sent to landfill, so it costs less to process.

Can I put soil in it?

Small amounts are fine; large volumes of soil are heavy and often better in a dedicated bin — tell us how much and we’ll set it up the cheapest way.

What can’t go in?

No general rubbish, treated timber, pots, plastic or rubble — mixing those in bumps it to a mixed-waste price.
