Sorting Your Green Waste: Guidelines for Effective Disposal

Green waste constitutes a significant portion of household refuse in Australia, making proper disposal essential. To ensure you choose the right skip bin for hire in Sydney, we outline what qualifies as green waste and what doesn’t:

Accepted Green Waste

  1. Mowed Grass, Dead Leaves, and Flower Trimmings: Common garden clippings such as mowed grass, fallen leaves, and pruned flowers are suitable for green waste disposal. Keeping your garden tidy and preventing potential hazards like slippery pathways are additional benefits.
  2. Woodchips and Bark: Light timber materials like woodchips and bark can be disposed of in green waste bins. However, large, heavy timber pieces should be separated for appropriate disposal.
  3. Branches, Twigs, and Small Stumps: Fallen branches, twigs, and small stumps are permissible in green waste bins. Ensure larger stumps are chipped down to meet size requirements.

These categories constitute the bulk of green waste eligible for disposal in our skip bins.

Items to Exclude

  1. Rocks and Soil: While common garden debris, rocks, and soil are not considered green waste and should not be included in our skips. Separate them for proper disposal or consider our soil/dirt skip bin option.
  2. Dirt and Clay: Similar to rocks and soil, dirt and clay should be kept out of green waste bins. Opt for our soil/dirt skip bins for large volumes of such waste.
  3. Hazardous Materials: Materials such as asbestos, batteries, insulation, liquids, chemical containers, food, and paint are hazardous and must not be placed in green waste bins. Dispose of these items responsibly in accordance with regulations.
