Kind act after tree waste dumped on Sydney woman's driveway

A disability pensioner in Sydney's west, who was left in tears last week when a pile of rubbish was dumped on her property, has received some good news.

Werrington County resident, Michelle, said her faith in people has been restored by a team that turned up to clean her driveway, after a truckload of garden waste was unloaded on it.

"Thank you for moving my mountain," Michelle told A Current Affair.

The green waste was dumped last week shortly after a tree lopper knocked on Michelle's door and offered to give the disability pensioner a trailer load of free mulch.

"I said yes, but I told him I only wanted a trailer load as I have a small garden," Michelle previously said.

"This man backed a large truck up my drive and outside my garage. (He) outpoured a mountain of garden rubbish.

"I told him to stop, I didn't want this much and he kept going."

She pulled out her phone to record the incident before the tree lopper stopped and left.

"What he dumped on my drive was not mulch, but rubbish, palm leaves and logs," Michelle said.

"I rang the police and council who both told me they could do nothing."

Michelle said she then became stuck with the "mountain" of waste and she couldn't afford the $800 she had been quoted to remove it.

When Michelle's story went to air on A Current Affair, the team from Bob and Ben the Tree Men said they saw what happened and decided to help.

They arrived at Michelle's property this morning, even during a storm.

"A little bit of good karma. It's nice to do something nice for someone who needs it," Ben said.

The behaviour displayed by the arborist is rife in the industry, he claimed, adding it happens all over Australia due to tip fees and the inconvenience of doing things the right way.

Ben said he's tired of the cowboys that give his industry a bad name.

"The Tree industry is very unregulated. There's a big difference from (the) guys on the top and those on bottom," Ben said.

His advice is to go online and check comments before engaging with someone, and if it seems too cheap then perhaps rubbish isn't being disposed of properly.

"Often the price difference of the top quote, to the bottom one, is what happens to the material," Ben said.

After Bob and Ben the Tree Men finished cleaning up Michelle's driveway, they took the load straight to the tip and paid the $200 tip fee to get rid of it.

"Thank you so much A Current Affair and thank you Bob and Ben for everything you've done," Michelle said.

"I have my driveway back."
