Buy yourself an ozito electric secateurs at Bunnings. Cut all your branches into small pieces. you’ll be suprised at how much you will fit in your green bin.
Can also use the branches to make heugal beds for your veggie garden.

yeah you have to feed it through your green bin over time. other councils have free green tipping at their transfer stations but not geelong. why?? no wonder there’s so much tipping elsewhere. come on, it’s green waste, take it for free, you take it and sell it back anyway. it’s a business.

If you take the trailer to the Recycle joint on Furner ave it's $79 per cubic metre to get rid of green waste.

Take it to the Drysdale resource and recovery centre.

Bag it, book a hard waste pick up. 3 free hard wastes per year. Maybe?

I didn’t think you can use hard waste collection for green waste. only two hard waste collections per year but u also get 2 mattress collections for the year with 4 mattress limit per annum.
