    Default Green waste disposal

    Hi , since this is a national site I,d be interested to know how you dispose of your green waste & what it costs. eg, we dispose of our green waste at Enviromix in Keysborough Vic & it costs us $9.90 per cubic meter.
    Cheers Dean.

    We get weighed in and out of the tip in Sydney. Green waste at most tips is $22 minimum for up to 200kg, then an additional fee per 50kg. I think its about $6 per 50kg. I dont go much now that we have green bins in the area I service.

    In Brisbane its about $8 for 100 kg then about $16 for 500kg we get 10 free 100kg vouchers with our rates and most customers give me theirs so I rarely have to pay at all

    Here we pay for it by the trailer load ie. for a 6x4 to the top it is $26 if it goes 1m higher then $46.

    But for me it is nothing. I take it to the worm man and he gives me free compost. Not bad ay.

    My local tip has no charge for green waste. But it only opens three days a week.

    If I use the main tip near where my lawns are it costs $24 a trailer load green waste or general waste. My trailer by volume hold just under 6 cubic meters.
    To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it.

    Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.

    Just don't loose it & get banned. (Long story).
    We simply have no viable alternative
    Paying by ASSESSING volume really isn't accurate, particularly for smaller loads.
    You pay $25 per meter, but there is NO part there of.
    Don't even know if its legal, what happened to weights & measures?
    Their rates doubled over night a few years back but, to be fair, haven't gone up since.
    Fred was a top bloke, Eric .... hmmmm!
    10yrs since it opened eh? wow time fly's.
    10yrs since you joined this forum? 4posts?
    You need to tell us a few stories of the past decade. Merry Xmas.
    Cheers Fred

    Dang! What do you guys charge for green waste when you're paying those prices.

    In Adelaide it's hit and miss but the most I've paid is $50 for a 4x4 foot trailer loaded to the brim. Usually pay $33.

    I was using a mob in bayliss rd but went from 15 a mtr to 30 in less than 12 months . Haven't been there for a while now so who knows what their charging. I have a couple of the council greenwaste bins and have resorted to leaving them at customers nature strips on their pick up days to get a free empty.

    .
    We use this place and it really annoys me that they doubled their prices in 12 months like you said Glenn. The other week did a gardening job in Narre Warren so went to tip in Hallam. They wanted to charge us $60, only had trailer half full so drove out. As an experiment decided to go to Hampton Park to compare apples with apples. They wanted $94. Went to are regular spot in Bayliss Rd which is closer to home and was charged $40.
