Green waste removal across Sydney. Prunings, lawn clippings, hedge trimmings, palm fronds and branch piles loaded and taken away — and sent for recycling rather than buried.

We remove garden and green waste anywhere in Sydney, usually within a day or two of your call. You do not need to bag it, bundle it or drag it to the kerb. Our crew loads the pile from wherever it sits, sweeps up after itself, and takes the load to a green waste facility for processing.

What Counts as Green Waste

Green waste is organic garden material that can be processed and reused rather than sent to landfill. That covers:

  • Lawn clippings and raked leaves
  • Hedge trimmings and prunings
  • Palm fronds and bark
  • Branches and small logs after a tree has been cut down
  • Weeds, old turf and garden bed clear-outs
  • Spent pot plants and soil from planters

Keeping it separate matters. A load of clean green waste is processed into mulch and compost, while the same material mixed through general rubbish ends up buried. If your pile is mostly garden material we will keep it as a green load.

When People Call Us for Green Waste

After the gardener has been

Plenty of gardeners cut and stack but do not cart away. If you are left with a pile on the lawn or driveway, we clear it.

After a tree has come down

Once an arborist or tree service has felled or pruned a tree, the branches, offcuts and debris are still there. We take that material away. To be clear about what we do and do not do: we remove the waste, we do not cut the tree. If the tree is still standing you will need an arborist first, then us.

Seasonal garden clean-ups

Spring and autumn tidy-ups generate far more than a council bin holds. A single visit clears the lot.

Before a property sale or inspection

Overgrown beds and a pile of clippings out the front do not help a sale. We clear it before the photos.

Why Not Just Use the Green Bin

For a normal week's clippings, the council green bin is the right tool and it costs you nothing. It stops working when the volume goes up. A single hedge trim can fill a green bin four times over, and most councils will not take branches beyond a certain thickness or length. Waiting three weeks to feed a pile into a fortnightly bin is how a garden tidy turns into a month-long chore.

A booked removal takes the lot in one visit — including material the green bin will not accept, like larger branches, root balls and soil.

How Much Green Waste Have You Got

Green waste is quoted on volume, the same as any other load:

  • A small pile. One hedge trim, a few bags of clippings, a modest prune.
  • A half truck. A serious garden tidy, a large hedge run, or the debris from one tree.
  • A full truck or more. A whole overgrown yard cleared, or a block being prepared for landscaping.

Send a photo of the pile with your enquiry and we will give you a number before we leave.

Where we work

This service is available right across our Sydney service area:

Frequently asked questions

Do you take branches and logs?

Yes. Branches, offcuts and small logs left after a tree has been cut are all taken. Very large trunk sections are worth mentioning when you book so we bring the right truck.

Do you cut trees down?

No. We are a rubbish removal service, not an arborist. Once the tree or branches are down, we take the waste away.

Does the green waste get recycled?

Yes. Clean green loads go to a facility that processes them into mulch and compost rather than to landfill.

Do I need to bag the clippings first?

No. Loose piles are fine. Our crew loads it as it sits, so there is no need to bag, bundle or move anything to the kerb.

Can you take soil and turf as well?

Yes. Old turf, garden bed soil and potting mix can go in the load. Tell us roughly how much, because soil is heavy and affects which truck we send.

OTG was prompt in scheduling a cleanup at a client's home. Mark was so easy to deal with. An old, run down hot tub had to be cut in pieces and removed from a deep backyard. Mark and his team were efficient and professional, going above and beyond to clear up the mess and sweep the area. Client was happy!

Mark, Jonathan and Jonathan did an awesome job clearing out the house ready for the new owners. They arrived on time and worked extremely hard to get the job done. It was great to see them sort the rubbish to be recycled. They thoroughly cleaned up after themselves.
I thoroughly recommend OTG rubbish removals.
Thanks for doing a great job.

Mark from OTG was amazing as was his offsider Mauricio. I called Mark in the morning, he was at my place 2 hours later, job quoted and ready to be done same day! They both worked hard to clear what I needed done and they not only did that but cleaned up the areas after. Mark went above & beyond what I expected. I have no problem recommending OTG Rubbish Removals.

I cannot recommend OTG Rubbish Removal highly enough. From the very first click to the final cleanup, the entire process was seamless.

The booking experience was incredibly straightforward and stress-free. They were prompt, arriving exactly when they said they would, which is a rarity in service industries these days. The team was professional, friendly, and handled everything with a great 'can-do' attitude.

It’s clear they take pride in their work. My space was left spotless, and the efficiency they showed was impressive. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!

If you need rubbish gone fast with zero hassle, do yourself a favor and call OTG. Highly recommended!!

We used OTG to remove renovation rubbish. Mark arrived promptly on a rainy Sunday and got things done fast and neat. He’s friendly and reliable. Availability is also great - I called in the afternoon and he arrived next morning. Especially thanks for protecting our driveway. I recommend OTG and Mark to anyone looking for rubbish removal.
