Greetings All,
I have recently started a lawn mowing and gardening
service in and around Ipswich QLD. I was wondering if anyone knows of
another place, besides the local dump, where i can drop off the grass
clippings?
Regards
Paul


Can you buy, lease or rent acouple of acres away from residential
areas?

If you can, buy yourself an old end loader, some animal manure,
preferably cow, pig or sheep, some hardwood sadust, bedding straw from
stables and start a compst heap.

You will need the end loader for stirring the compost and loading it
onto vehicles to cart it away.

Good organic compost will just about sell itself. Also contact the
landscape gardeners and other lawn mowing services. Buy or encourage
them to dump their clippings at your composting site.

All this depends, of course, on obtaining land and the council
licences/permits/red tape bullshit before you start.

Great Idea, I'm keeping some of the good grass clippings and making
compost out of it to sell back to customer next season.
But i like your idea, Now just have to find somewhere cheap near
us...mmmmmmmm

Just one other point - make your monster composter well away ( and
preferably ut of sight) of inhabited residences. Some people don't
like the smell of nature at work. Not that the compost heap should
smell. If it stinks its not a healthy heap. My little backyard bin has
a anice musty perfume coming out so I know its working properly.
