Garden refuse removal in Hout Bay is a near-constant job — this green, semi-rural Atlantic valley is ringed by mountains, and its large leafy properties, smallholdings and equestrian plots generate serious volumes of green waste. Dense valley vegetation and steady tree growth mean branches, brushwood and leaf litter pile up faster than any wheelie bin can handle. We clear the lot: grass clippings, hedge trimmings, leaves and prunings, sorted on the verge and tipped for composting so nothing clean goes to landfill.
From a quick post-weekend yard-waste clean-up to a full overgrown-plot clearance, our crews handle tree branches up to roughly 150 mm thick — chipping them as we load — plus bagged leaves, tree-felling waste, brushwood and alien-invasive clearing. The slopes around Hout Bay are thick with Port Jackson, rooikrans and blackwood, and clearing that alien vegetation is routine work for us. For the City of Cape Town's green-waste rules in plain English, our garden refuse guide walks through what's accepted where.
Pricing is a flat rate per load with tipping included — no hidden disposal fees. A small green-waste clean-out is R600–R900; a full bakkie of garden rubbish is R2,000–R2,800. If you're weighing up the wider service across the city, our Cape Town garden refuse removal page covers how we work valley-wide. Need the builders' side cleared too? Our Hout Bay rubble removal crew handles brick, concrete and site debris on the same visit.

Where your Hout Bay green waste actually goes
Clean garden refuse never goes to landfill. We tip Hout Bay's green waste at the City of Cape Town's Hout Bay Drop-off on Main Road — the valley's own facility, which accepts clean garden waste and opens at 07:00 in summer, an hour earlier than the rest of the network. From there it's chipped, windrowed and turned into commercial compost. Tipping clean green waste is free, which is why our flat-rate garden clearance quotes stay as low as they do.
For the full list of facilities, hours and what each accepts, see the Cape Town dump sites directory.
