Quick and efficient garden waste removal across Exeter. Whether it's one bag or a whole garden's worth, we'll load it up and take it away, leaving your garden tidy and you with your weekend back.
Garden waste is one of those jobs that sounds simple until you're trying to fit the 47th bag of hedge clippings in your car. We've got a van, we know where the waste sites are, and we're used to heavy lifting. You point, we load, job done.
What We Remove
Pretty much anything that's garden waste:
- Grass cuttings and lawn clippings
- Hedge and shrub trimmings
- Branches and wood prunings
- Leaves and dead plants
- Weeds and pulled-up plants
- Soil and turf
- Old compost
If you've got garden furniture, pots, or other non-green waste mixed in, that's usually fine too - just mention it when you call.
Why Use Us?
Because your car's too small, your back's too weak, or you just can't be arsed to make six trips to the tip. All legitimate reasons. We turn up, load everything, and disappear. You get your afternoon back.
Devon tips have specific opening hours and you need to book slots. We're licensed waste carriers with trade accounts - we can go when we need to and dispose of commercial quantities.

We turn up, look at the waste, confirm the price if needed. Then we load it all into the van. You can help if you want, but you don't need to.
Step 3: Disposal & Payment
We take it all to the proper disposal facility. You get an invoice (and waste certificate if you need one for your records). Garden's clear, job done.
š§ DIY Tips
If you're doing it yourself:
š§ What you'll need:
- Vehicle big enough (estate car minimum, better yet a van)
- Way to tie down/cover loose material
- Gloves and possibly a tarp
- Petrol money and patience for the tip
- Pre-booked slot at your local waste facility
š Basic approach:
- Check your local tip's rules (some don't take commercial quantities)
- Book a slot (most Devon tips require this now)
- Load vehicle carefully - loose grass cuttings go everywhere
- Drive to tip (usually 20-40 min round trip)
- Unload at correct section (green waste separate from general)
- Repeat 3-6 times because your car holds less than you thought
ā ļø Common mistakes:
- Underestimating how many trips you'll need
- Forgetting to book a tip slot (they'll turn you away)
- Overloading your car (dangerous and you'll get pulled over)
- Mixing green waste with other rubbish (tips are picky about this)
š” Pro trick: If you're doing this yourself, fill your car boot with the heaviest stuff first (soil, thick branches) and put lighter stuff on top. Loose grass cuttings should be bagged or you'll be hoovering your car for weeks.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as garden waste?
Grass cuttings, hedge trimmings, leaves, branches, old plants, weeds, soil - basically anything that came out of your garden. If it grew or you dug it up, we'll take it.
Do I need to have it bagged up?
Nope. Loose, bagged, piled up - doesn't matter. We'll load it however it is. Obviously if it's bagged it's quicker, but we're not fussy.
Can you take other stuff at the same time?
Depends. Garden furniture, pots, old tools - probably fine. Household waste, building rubble - that's different pricing because disposal costs more. Tell us what you've got and we'll sort it.
How quickly can you come?
Often same day if you call in the morning. Worst case, next day. We know garden waste doesn't wait around - especially grass cuttings in summer.
