We clear and remove green waste from homes, rentals, strata complexes and commercial sites across Brendale and Moreton Bay. That includes piles of prunings, fallen branches after storms, palm fronds, leaves, old garden plants and overgrown areas that need cutting back before they can be cleared. Everything is loaded and taken away for disposal at a green waste facility.
Many jobs are a full yard clean-up: cutting back overgrowth, clearing beds, removing the waste and leaving the yard ready for regular lawn mowing and garden maintenance. It's a common job before a sale, at the end of a lease, or when someone moves into a place that's been left to go wild.
What our green waste removal service includes
A green waste removal or yard clean-up job can include:
Pile removal
Loading and removing existing piles of prunings, branches and garden waste.
Storm clean-ups
Clearing fallen branches, palm fronds and leaf litter after storms, where it's safe to do so from the ground.
Overgrowth cut-back
Cutting back overgrown shrubs, vines and long grass before clearing.
Garden bed clearing
Pulling out dead or unwanted plants, weeds and old mulch.
Palm frond removal
Removing dead fronds and seed heads from low palms, and clearing fallen fronds.
Leaf and debris clearing
Raking and blowing leaves from lawns, beds, paths and courtyards.
Responsible disposal
Green waste taken to a council or commercial green waste facility for recycling into mulch and compost.
Final tidy
Paths, driveways and patios blown clean at the end of the job.
When to call for a clean-up
Green waste piles up quickly in a subtropical garden. A clean-up makes sense when:
- Your green bin fills up in minutes and there's still a pile left
- A storm has brought down branches and palm fronds
- The yard has been neglected and is too big a job for a weekend
- You're moving in or out, selling, or preparing for an exit inspection
- Old plants have died off and need clearing before replanting
- Garden waste is piled against a fence or the house, which can harbour pests
Green waste in a Moreton Bay garden
Subtropical gardens produce a lot of green waste. A single hedge trim or palm clean-up can fill several green bins, and after a summer storm there can be branches and fronds across the whole yard. A 240-litre green bin collected every fortnight doesn't go far, so most people end up with a pile down the side of the house.
Piles of garden waste left against fences and houses aren't just untidy. They hold moisture, attract cockroaches and rodents, and timber and mulch against a slab can give termites cover. Clearing them away is a simple way to reduce pest problems.
Storm season in south-east Queensland runs roughly from October to March. We clear fallen branches and debris from the ground after storms. Trees that are damaged, hanging over the house or tangled in powerlines need a qualified arborist or Energex, not a clean-up crew, and we'll tell you if that's the case.
How the job works
Send photos
Photos of the pile or the yard are usually enough for us to quote.
Quote
A written price based on the volume and the work needed to clear it.
Clear and load
We cut back, rake up and load everything onto our vehicle or trailer.
Dispose
Green waste goes to a green waste facility to be recycled into mulch.
Tidy up
Paths and driveways are blown clean before we leave.
What affects the price
Green waste removal is priced mainly on the volume and how hard it is to get out. We look at:
Volume
Roughly how many trailer loads or cubic metres of material there is.
Type of waste
Light leaves and prunings versus heavy branches and palm trunks.
Cutting back needed
Overgrowth that has to be cut before it can be loaded takes more time.
Access
How far the waste has to be carried, and whether it has to go through the house or down steps.
Disposal fees
Tip fees at green waste facilities, which depend on the volume.
Send us photos with something for scale, like a wheelie bin, and we can usually quote without visiting.

We tell you what we can't do
Big or dangerous trees go to an arborist. We'll say so up front.
Green Waste Removal FAQs
What kind of waste do you take?
Garden and green waste: prunings, branches, palm fronds, leaves, grass clippings, weeds and old plants. We don't take general household rubbish, building waste or anything hazardous.
Can you take away tree stumps or big logs?
Small branches and logs, yes. Large logs and stump grinding are usually a job for an arborist or tree service.
Do you clean up after storms?
Yes, we clear fallen branches and debris from the ground. Damaged trees, hanging branches or anything near powerlines should be handled by an arborist or Energex first.
How much green waste fits in a trailer load?
It depends on how it's cut and packed. Photos help us estimate. We'll quote the job, not charge you per bag.
Do I need to be home?
Not if we can access the waste. Many jobs are done while owners are at work.
Can you clean up a rental property before the exit inspection?
Yes. We often combine green waste removal with mowing, edging and garden tidying before inspections. See rental property maintenance.
Is the waste recycled?
Yes. Green waste taken to green waste facilities is processed into mulch and compost rather than going to landfill.
