Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• Collect grass cuttings, moss and loose turf arisings and place into biodegradable sacks where possible

• Rake and bag clippings after mowing or collect pre-bagged cuttings

• Load waste into a van or vehicle and transport to an authorised green waste facility

• Weigh or estimate volume on site and advise if skip hire or extra trips are needed

• Remove small patches of turf or weeds on request (extra charge applies)

• Use gloves and dust masks for mouldy or wet waste to avoid contamination and protect against ticks

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Most small grass-waste jobs (one lawn or a few bagged sacks) take 30–90 minutes; medium garden clearances typically take 2–4 hours; larger clearances or restricted access can extend to a full day

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• How will you dispose of the grass waste — local green waste centre, composting on site, or commercial disposal

• Do you include disposal fees in the quote or charge them separately

• How many operatives will attend and what equipment will you bring

• Do you have public liability insurance and a waste carrier registration if taking waste off site

• Will you need vehicle access, a skip permit or council permission for parking

• How do you handle mouldy or contaminated waste and will that incur extra charges

How to Avoid Surprises

• Clear a path and move fragile pots or furniture away from the work area

• Reserve a parking space or advise the tradie about parking restrictions and access to the property

• Tell the tradie about gates, steps, narrow access or low-hanging obstacles before the visit

• Confirm whether you want material composted on site or removed to avoid unexpected disposal fees

• Secure pets and remove children’s toys from the working area

• Check if you need a skip permit or permission for use of communal space and tell the tradie in advance
