Is Your Backyard Ready for Spring? Start with a Green Waste Skip Bin
Why Spring Is the Best Time to Clear Your Backyard
After a long Melbourne winter, backyards often need a bit of attention. Fallen branches, overgrown shrubs, and leftover garden debris can make your outdoor space feel cluttered and neglected. As spring approaches, it’s the ideal time to refresh your garden and prepare it for entertaining, relaxing or simply enjoying the outdoors.
At Skips.com.au, we make it easy to clear green waste efficiently with our dedicated green waste skip bin hire service across Metro Melbourne. Whether you’re in the middle of a landscaping project or just tackling some overdue maintenance, a green waste skip can help you clean up fast and keep your garden looking its best.
What Counts as Green Waste?
Green waste refers to biodegradable garden materials that can be recycled and reused. Our green waste skip bins are perfect for:
Grass clippings
Tree branches and prunings
Leaves and bark
Hedge trimmings
Palm fronds
Weeds and garden plants
Soil and small roots (in moderate quantities)
By using a green waste skip, you’re ensuring that this organic material is sent to composting and recycling facilities, not landfill.
5 Signs It’s Time to Book a Green Waste Skip
1. Your Garden Waste Has Outgrown the Wheelie Bin
If your regular green bin fills up after just one mow or prune, it’s time to upgrade. A skip bin gives you the extra space you need to manage garden waste in one go, no need to wait for the next council collection.
2. You’re Starting a Landscaping Project
Laying turf, building garden beds, or creating a new outdoor layout often involves removing large volumes of vegetation and soil. A green waste skip bin helps keep the site tidy and makes disposal simple.
3. You're Clearing Trees or Shrubs After Winter Damage
Storms and high winds during winter can leave a trail of broken branches and debris. Booking a skip before spring lets you remove the mess safely and start fresh.
4. You’re Preparing to Sell or Rent Your Property
First impressions count. A clean, well-maintained backyard can add real value. Whether you’re a homeowner or a property manager, a skip bin can help speed up outdoor clean-up before photos or inspections.
5. You Want to Create a Low-Maintenance Garden
If you're replacing lawns or high-maintenance plants with stones, pavers or artificial turf, you’ll generate a large amount of green and organic waste. A skip bin ensures quick removal without disrupting the project.
