The City of Kingston's FREE at-call Tree Prunings Collection Service is an excellent service for the home gardener that is well utilised and well regarded by those residents of Kingston who use it.
| | | |
|
If you place material out for collection under the Tree Prunings Collection Service that does not conform to the limits and conditions for the service it WILL NOT be collected. You will then need to rectify the problem and re-book it as a new collection.
Residents are reminded that they must make a booking prior to placing material out on the nature strip, but this service is free and can be used more than once.
