Why Choose Us

Debris Costs You More Than You Think

A pile of leftover green waste isn’t just ugly — it’s a fire risk, a home for pests, and the thing that quietly holds up your whole project. Whether the timber came from a recent tree removal or a land clearing job, managing it manually is slow, expensive, and often results in costly tip fees.

At Otway Tree Care, we turn waste into a resource. Our green waste removal service across Colac and the Otways uses high-capacity chippers and low impact tracked machinery to process massive volumes of debris in hours, not days.

Whether you need the mulch left on-site for erosion control or hauled away entirely, we provide a streamlined, high-compliance solution that keeps your project moving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Honest Advice. Expert Answers.

Managing large volumes of green waste raises practical questions about cost, process, and what happens to the material. Here's everything you need to know.

Can you remove waste that another contractor left behind?

Absolutely. We are frequently called in to clean up sites where previous operators didn't have the machinery to handle the volume of debris.

What is the largest diameter log your chipper can handle?

Our industrial chippers can handle material up to 15''x20'' inches in diameter. For anything larger, we use our low impact tracked machinery to split or load the logs for haulage.

Is it cheaper to keep the mulch on-site?

Yes. Keeping mulch on-site saves on haulage and tip fees. It’s also a great way to suppress weeds and improve soil health on your property.

Do you work with building contractors?

Yes. We provide site-clearing services for new builds, ensuring the block is level and free of vegetation before the slab is poured or fences go up.

Can you remove old stumps as part of the debris removal?

Yes — we can combine waste removal with our stump grinding service for a total site clean. One visit, one crew, completely clear.

Do you provide a "Spotless Finish"?

Every job ends with a thorough rake and blow-down. We pride ourselves on leaving sites cleaner than we found them, regardless of the scale.
