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.

Shrubs cut back hard in a commercial garden bed
OptionBest forThings to know
A garden binRegular lawn clippings and small pruningsCouncil or private garden bins take a set amount each collection. Branches over a certain size usually don't fit.
A trailer to the transfer stationA load or two, if you have a trailer and the timeYou load it, drive it and pay the green-waste fee at the station.
A crewAnything bigger than a bin, or when you'd rather not do the liftingWe 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.

How it works

How our garden waste removal works

  1. Send a photo of the pile, with something in shot for scale.

  2. Fixed price based on how many loads it is.

  3. We collect it, usually on a day that suits you, and you don't need to be home.

  4. We text you when it's gone.
