Bundled branches are removed twice a year, free of charge.
An information leaflet giving notice of your collection day will be placed in your letterbox approximately 10 days prior to scheduled pick-up in your area. Please do not place any material out for collection until you receive this leaflet.
To find out when your next bundled branches collection is, view the Bayside Hard Waste and Bundled Branches Map and Calendar:

Items suitable for collection include:
- pruning and branches less than 150mm in diameter and 1.8 metres in length, securely tied in bundles up to 300mm
- small branches 1.8 metres maximum 300mm
- larger branches 1.8 metres maximum 150mm
Please do not place materials in boxes or plastic bags.
Council will not collect the following items:
- soil
- rose bushes or thorny plants
- prunings under 75mm diameter untied
- material that contains wire or nails
- ivy, bamboo, creepers and palm tree
- soft plants, weeds and grass cuttings

Note: This service is for garden prunings only and not for whole tree removals. Recycle your tree and shrub prunings into useful garden mulch, instead of sending them to landfill.
