✔️ Prices from $55 for a standard 240L green bin

We collect straight from your driveway, garden path, or even up the side of your house if needed.
Why Choose Our Green Bin Emptying Service?
Christchurch City Council does a good job with regular kerbside collections, but sometimes you need a backup:
Bin missed by CCC truck — if your bin was left behind, don’t wait two more weeks.
Overflowing bins after gardening — hedge trimming and mowing can fill a 240 L bin in no time.
Big garden clean‑ups — weeds, branches, shrubs, and ivy pile up fast.
Extra garden bags — we’ll take them alongside your bin.
Growth suburbs — places like Rolleston, Halswell, Lincoln have bigger sections; one bin isn’t enough.
Our service is ideal for households and businesses who want it gone — without loading the trailer or queueing at the transfer station.

Local Suburbs We Cover
We cover all of Christchurch plus nearby Selwyn and Waimakariri towns. Some of our busiest areas:
Hornby & Islington — large family homes and lifestyle blocks mean bins fill fast.
Riccarton & Ilam — student flats often forget collection days, leaving bins overflowing.
Halswell & Wigram — rapid housing growth = bigger gardens and more green waste.
Rolleston & Lincoln — new subdivisions like Faringdon and Verdeco Park generate heaps of clippings.
Rangiora & Kaiapoi — lifestyle blocks and orchards outgrow a single council bin.
Sydenham, Spreydon, Addington, Woolston, Linwood, St Albans, Shirley — central/east suburbs where we can often do same‑day.
Adding these suburbs helps locals searching for “green bin emptying near me” find us first.

Why Not Just Wait for Council Pickup?
People book us instead of waiting because:
Missed CCC collection — happens more than you’d think, especially on windy days.
Too much waste — 240 L doesn’t last long in peak gardening season.
Wrong day — CCC won’t come back if the bin went out late.
Extra bags — not collected by CCC, but we take them.
Christchurch Garden Waste Guidelines
We dispose of your green waste at the correct facilities so you don’t risk contamination or fines.
Accepted: lawn clippings, hedge trimmings, leaves, weeds, prunings, small branches.
Not accepted: soil, stones, building waste, food scraps, plastic, treated/painted timber.
Eco‑friendly: Green waste is directed to composting where possible — not landfill.
Examples
Riccarton: flatmates miss bin day after a weekend BBQ; we clear the overflow plus 2–3 tied bags.
Hornby: tall hedge trimmings can fill two bins at once; we take bundled branches as add‑ons.
Rolleston (Faringdon): new landscaping = frequent clippings; often a bin empty plus 3–4 garden bags.
Halswell: fresh new builds = ongoing planting; one bin rarely cuts it during spring.
Rangiora: lifestyle blocks book 2–3 bin empties after large pruning jobs.
Wigram & Aidanfield: smaller sections but dense hedging; regular fortnightly overflow pickups.
FAQs — Green Bin Emptying Christchurch
1) Do you collect if my bin is contaminated?
If it contains soil, concrete, or general rubbish, we can’t take it. Standard green waste is fine.
2) Can you collect if my bin is very heavy?
Yes, as long as the bin can be moved. Overfilled bins with soil or rubble are not accepted.
3) Do you take branches that don’t fit in the bin?
Yes. Tie branches in bundles under 1.2 m and 20 kg — $25 each.
4) Do you do same‑day pickup?
Often yes, particularly in central suburbs like Riccarton, Sydenham, Linwood. Book early for best chance.
5) What if I need more than two bins emptied?
For 3+ bins or lots of bags, consider our skip hire for better value. We can advise based on photos.
