About

Commercial garden organics collection and recycling

Cleanaway’s garden organics service makes it easy for your business to manage garden maintenance waste responsibly and cost-effectively. Whether you need regular collection of your garden organics or ad-hoc pick-ups, we tailor our service to suit the needs of councils, landscaping businesses, farms, schools, health and aged care facilities and other commercial customers.

We don’t just collect your garden waste, we keep this organic material in use by recycling it into high-quality soil conditioners, mulch and compost. Instead of being sent to landfill – where it breaks down to produce harmful greenhouse gases – these organic resources can be recovered and safely returned to the land, completing the circular waste cycle.

We collect compostable garden organics that are considered ‘light’ green waste materials. For heavier green waste items that are not accepted in garden organics bins, like tree trunks or timber waste, we can set you up with a skip.
