How to get rid of garden waste in Tauranga
There are three ways to get rid of green waste in Tauranga, and each suits a different amount.

| Option | Best for | Things to know |
|---|---|---|
| A garden bin | Regular lawn clippings and small prunings | Council or private garden bins take a set amount each collection. Branches over a certain size usually don't fit. |
| A trailer to the transfer station | A load or two, if you have a trailer and the time | You load it, drive it and pay the green-waste fee at the station. |
| A crew | Anything bigger than a bin, or when you'd rather not do the lifting | We load, transport and dispose of it, and sweep up. |
Green waste can't go in your normal rubbish bin in most cases, and dumping it on reserves or road edges spreads weeds like wild ginger and tradescantia. Composting small amounts at home is a good option for soft waste, but woody prunings take years to break down.
