Garden Waste · Helderberg & Winelands
Cuttings, prunings, lawn clippings, post-storm branches — bagged, piled or loose. Send us a quick video, we quote per load on WhatsApp, and then we rock up with the green trailer and take it to a proper compost site.

Composted, not dumped
Every load goes to a licensed compost site or partner farm.
Fast turnaround
Weekly routes across the Helderberg — we'll fit you in as soon as we can.
Bagged or loose
You don't have to bag it. If it's piled by the driveway, we'll load it.
Storm-ready
After a Cape south-easter? We'll clear branches and palm fronds too.

Where we collect
Garden waste pickups across Somerset West, Strand, Gordon's Bay, the wider Helderberg, and Stellenbosch — priced per load from a quick video.
Neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood
Same trailer, same crew — but every town has its own quirks. Here's what to expect when we run this service in yours.
Somerset West
Somerset West gardens run big — Heldervue, Parel Vallei and the older Somerset West CBD homes throw off enormous piles at the end of summer. We'll route you into our next available run so you're not stuck with a mountain of cuttings on the pavement for a week.
Strand
Strand gardens are hard on themselves — the south-easter drops palm fronds and beach-front debris weekly. We pitchfork it straight into the green trailer, no bagging needed. Body-corporate common areas welcome too if the trustees give us the green light.
Gordon's Bay
Gordon's Bay properties, especially up towards Mountainside, deal with indigenous milkwood, aloe and dense fynbos-style gardens. Different waste, same trailer. We're happy to take on the awkward, spiky loads other services turn down.
Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch is a stretch stop on our Garden Waste route — Dalsig, Welgevonden, Paradyskloof and a couple of farms on the R44. Big prunings, vineyard-adjacent garden clears and farm-cottage tidy-ups all fit the green trailer. Book at least a week ahead so we can route you in.
Lawn clippings, hedge trimmings, prunings, leaves, small branches, palm fronds, weeds and post-storm debris. Basically anything organic that came out of your garden.
Garden Waste is priced per load — a couple of bags after a Sunday tidy-up is very different from a whole-garden prune. Send a 15-second video through the booking form and we'll WhatsApp you a fair quote, usually within a few hours.
A 15-second walk-around tells us the volume, the access and whether we need extra trailer space — much faster than describing it in words, and no need for a paid site visit. Photos work in a pinch too.
We run Garden Waste routes across the Helderberg every week. When you accept a quote we'll come back on WhatsApp with the next available day and time that suits you.
Everything that can be composted goes to a licensed green-waste site or partner farm. Nothing organic ever needs to hit landfill.
No — this trailer is for organic garden waste only. Rubble goes to a licensed rubble remover; general junk goes on our Junk Removal service.
Either works. If it's bagged we'll take the bags (paper or reusable is best, but standard black bags are fine). If it's just piled by the driveway, we'll pitchfork it into the trailer — no prep needed.
Yes. If a Cape south-easter has dropped branches and palm fronds all over your garden, ping us on WhatsApp — we often add extra routes in the week after a big blow.
Small branches and light chainsaw work, yes. Full tree fellings and big stumps need a certified arborist — we can point you at one we trust in the Helderberg and clear the debris afterwards.
As often as you like. Some gardens go on a regular rhythm during summer, others just call after a big prune. There's no subscription — book each pickup as you need it.
