We have a wheely bin with red bins. It gets collected once a month and is $12 a collection. All our compost type matter goes in there. When we chopped a tree down we took it to the green waste tip which was $25 a trailer load. We had it packed so that it was taller than a van so quite good value. We had four trips that day. It was a big tree.

Hope that helps.]]> Sun, 06 Feb 2011 11:00:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36679&PID=1260249&title=garden-rubbish#1260249 <![CDATA[garden rubbish : We use Sunshine Bags,and have...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36679&PID=1258219&title=garden-rubbish#1258219 Author: MummyFreckle

Sarah we use greenfingers.co.nz, we get a bag collected every 8 weeks, its $108 for 6 collections.

We are probably going to start composting now the vege garden is up and running, the cheaper option :)]]> Thu, 03 Feb 2011 10:59:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36679&PID=1257990&title=garden-rubbish#1257990 <![CDATA[garden rubbish : when we do a big garden clear...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36679&PID=1220784&title=garden-rubbish#1220784 Author: Plushie

when we do a big garden clear out (including trees like you said you were going to do) we would hire a wood chipper, they're not that expensive, and just run everything that wasnt firewood through it. We have compost bins here that are collected by the council so it just went into that after.]]> Wed, 15 Dec 2010 10:14:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36679&PID=1220784&title=garden-rubbish#1220784 <![CDATA[garden rubbish : What kind of weeds do you have?...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36679&PID=1200466&title=garden-rubbish#1200466 Author: jano1

What kind of weeds do you have? The tip will only take some types.

Places like living earth will take your garden waste and turn it into compost- might want to give them a ring.

If you have invasive weeds and live in west Auckland there are weed bins- check the old Waitakere City website for locations ]]> Mon, 15 Nov 2010 15:01:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36679&PID=1200466&title=garden-rubbish#1200466 <![CDATA[garden rubbish : We have a wheelie bin for rubbish...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36679&PID=1200225&title=garden-rubbish#1200225 Author: mummy_becks

We have a wheelie bin for rubbish and our weeds go in there. Other than that everything else is in the compost and we shred the branches for the compost too.

Does AK not have a place to dispose of green waste? throwing it in the trash just means it sits at landfills for years.

We compost loads and then branches etc that will take too long to compost or trees etc we take to our green waste tip]]> Mon, 15 Nov 2010 09:22:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36679&PID=1200167&title=garden-rubbish#1200167 <![CDATA[garden rubbish : basically, weeds, grass clippings,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36679&PID=1200154&title=garden-rubbish#1200154 Author: sarahm

It really depends on what you mean by garden rubbish.

All the rubbish I get from my garden is green matter (grass clippings, branchs, weeds etc) which I compost or plastic (seedling trays from garden centre, bags from compost) which I recycle - about a boot load once a year.]]> Mon, 15 Nov 2010 08:18:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36679&PID=1200108&title=garden-rubbish#1200108 <![CDATA[garden rubbish : has anyone done research into...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36679&PID=1200102&title=garden-rubbish#1200102 Author: sarahm

has anyone done research into what is the best way to get rid of it?
eg, regular bag or bin collection
       make a weekend of it and hire a skip
       take it to the dump etc
