EASY 3-STEP PROCESS

Step 1

Hedge Trimming and Trimmings Preparation

Trim your cedar hedge. Then place the trimmings by the roadside in piles or bags before making your collection request. Make sure the material meets our collection criteria.

We accept: Anything that can be cut by a hedge trimmer (foliage);
A pile of material composed of 100% green foliage;
Branches must not exceed 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter;
The length of the branches must not exceed 3 feet (90 cm);
The material must be placed at the roadside, either in piles or in bag(s) before making your collection request.

If your cedar trimmings do not meet these criterias, we offer a chipping service with fees. To learn more, click here

Step 1

Step 2

Schedule a collection

Schedule a collection via our online form. A member of our team will collect your trimmings within 24 to 48 hours.

Step 2

Step 3

Revalorization

Through a distillation process, we will extract the essential oil from your cedar trimmings. The resulting valuable residual mulch from the process can then be used as an eco-friendly fill material.

We will be able to pick up your trimmings only if they are at the roadside, in a pile, or in bags before making your collection request.
