Moorabbin’s post-war homes and long back yards generate plenty of bulk green waste. Ross takes it away by the trailer load.
Not a franchisee or a truck driver from a booking system. The bloke who quotes it is the bloke who loads it.
No bags to fill, no skip to load. Leave it in a pile and he loads it, sweeps up and takes it away.
Not a bin size. A heap beside the driveway and one at the bottom of a steep yard are different jobs and get different prices.
Standing tree, asbestos, or more rubbish than garden — he tells you before he starts, not after.
A pruning pile hauled away and a few bags of leaf litter collected is the usual combination on a Moorabbin block.
Piles of prunings, branches, hedge trimmings, leaves and weeds that won't fit in the green bin. Ross backs the trailer in, loads it himself and takes it away to be recycled — you don't lift a thing.
Big back-yard piles and hedge trimmings.
Doing a big garden clean-up — overgrown beds, a back corner nobody has touched in years, a rental between tenants or a property being tidied for sale? Pile it all up and Ross collects the lot in one visit.
Overgrown yards cleared before sale.
Fallen limbs, shed bark, leaf litter and dry prunings gathered up from around the house — the fine fuel that matters most in a grassfire or ember attack. Collected and taken away before the Fire Danger Period starts.
Dry growth and leaf piles cleared before summer.
A gum has dropped a limb across the driveway, or a windy night has left the yard covered. Ross collects what's come down and hauls it away. Standing trees and hung-up limbs are an arborist's job — once they've dropped it, Ross can take it away.
Fallen branches collected and removed.
Moorabbin is a solid, practical suburb built mostly after the war, with brick and weatherboard homes on long blocks near the Frankston line and the Nepean Highway. Many of those original homes are still there, alongside newer units and townhouses.
Long back yards with fruit trees, sheds and fence-line shrubs produce a lot of garden waste over the years. When it is finally time to clear it, Ross provides green waste removal in Moorabbin by the trailer load.
Many Moorabbin back yards stretch well back from the house. Over time, the back half fills with overgrown shrubs, fruit trees and prunings that never got taken away.
Ross loads it by hand and takes it to a green waste facility. A photo of the yard helps him estimate how many loads it will take.
Older Moorabbin homes are often sold to families or developers. Either way, the garden usually needs clearing first.
Getting the shrubs, climbers and fence-line growth out before the agent’s photographer or the demolition crew arrives makes both jobs easier. Ross takes the green waste only; standing trees need an arborist and possibly a council permit, and the builder handles bricks, concrete and anything else that is not garden material.
Newer units and townhouses in Moorabbin have smaller gardens that still need trimming. With little space to store waste, a regular pickup keeps things tidy.
Ross carries waste out from rear units and courtyards where a trailer cannot get close. For owners corporations, a pickup booked straight after the gardener’s visit stops offcuts being left in bins, carports or the common driveway for the next fortnight.
Fence-line shrubs and fruit trees in Moorabbin put on a lot of growth through spring. Book the green waste pickup for October or November and the long back yard is clear and usable before the hottest months, rather than hosting a drying heap of prunings until autumn.
Suburb, roughly how much there is, and what the access is like. A photo saves a lot of back and forth.
Ross comes back with a number. On big or awkward jobs he has a look first rather than guessing.
Loaded by hand, driveway swept, and off for proper green waste disposal.
Ross runs this on his own. He quotes the job, he turns up, he loads the trailer and he takes it away — the same bloke every visit. There is no office in between, no skip company, and no franchise cut coming out of what you pay.
It also means he will tell you when something isn't his job — a standing tree that needs an arborist, or a pile that is more rubbish than garden — rather than taking the money and leaving you with half a problem.
The suburb, roughly how much there is, and how easy it is to get a trailer to it is enough to work with. A photo of the pile gets you a price fastest.

Thanks — that's gone through to Ross. Spring is his busiest time, so if it's close to fire season he may take a day or two.
