    Get your garden back without the trips to the tip

    After a big prune, a hedge trim or a weekend of garden clearing, you end up with a heap of green waste that won't fit in the municipal bin and is too much for the boot of the car. Roodepoort's mature gardens — especially the leafy older suburbs — throw off a lot of it. We come and take the whole lot in one go.

    We clear garden refuse right across Roodepoort and the West Rand, from the established gardens around Florida Lake to the big plots in Roodekrans near the Walter Sisulu Botanical Garden, and out through Honeydew, Little Falls and Wilgeheuwel. Same-day or next-day, loaded by our crew, and disposed of legally — with a free quote and no call-out fee.

    What we take — and what we don't

    Keeping the green stream clean means it's disposed of properly and quickly.

    We take

    • Tree branches and prunings
    • Hedge and shrub cuttings
    • Grass clippings and raked leaves
    • Palm fronds and plant debris
    • Weeds, dead plants and flower-bed clear-outs
    • Whole-garden clearances after a tidy-up

    We don't take

    • Kitchen scraps and food waste
    • Treated or painted timber and fencing
    • Garden chemicals, pesticides and fertiliser tins
    • Old pool chemicals and pesticide containers

    Garden chemicals need a hazardous-waste drop-off — tell us what you've got and we'll point you the right way.

    Joburg gives garden waste seven days

    Roodepoort falls under the City of Johannesburg, whose Waste Management By-laws say garden waste must be removed and disposed of "within seven days" (or a reasonable time the City sets) at a facility the City determines, and that an official can ask for a weighbridge ticket as proof for bigger loads. A pile of prunings left on the verge for a month is exactly what the rule is aimed at.

    Pikitup runs 42 garden sites for "light garden waste". In the Roodepoort area that means Marie Louise on Roodepoort Road and Panorama on Jim Fouche Road. Our Roodepoort dumping sites guide has the addresses if you'd rather take a small load yourself. For a big clear-out, we load it and take it for you.

    How garden refuse is priced

    Like everything we do, garden refuse is priced by the load — not by the hour — so you know the number up front:

    • Small bakkie load (about 1 m³)from R650 – R900
    • Half tipper-truck load (about 3 m³)R1,200 – R1,800
    • Full tipper-truck load (about 6 m³)R2,000 – R3,500

    Bulky branches take up more space than bagged leaves, so the volume is what drives the price — along with access and distance within Roodepoort. Labour and legal disposal are usually included, so there's no surprise tip fee at the end. These are guide bands; the honest move is a free quote for your exact heap. Full detail is on the pricing page.

    How it works — three simple steps

    1. Call or get a quote

    Tell us how much green waste there is, or send a quick photo. We give you a free, no-obligation price — no call-out fee.

    2. We arrive and load

    Our crew rakes up, gathers the branches and clippings and loads it all by hand, leaving your lawn and beds clear.

    3. Legal disposal

    The green waste goes to a licensed Pikitup garden site or the Marie Louise Landfill — properly handled, never dumped.
