What to know locally in East London
Lush growth keeps garden services in Nahoon and Gonubie busy trimming trees back from roofs and gutters. Branches touching overhead lines are a job for the municipality or authorised teams only. Arborists thin coral trees and figs that grow heavy over driveways. Clearing invasive lantana, bugweed and syringa from banks above the Nahoon River is a common task for estates. Most refuse is chipped, and the chips make good mulch in coastal gardens.
What grows around East London
East London is greener and wetter than much of the Eastern Cape coast, with subtropical bush in its river valleys and lush gardens in Beacon Bay, Nahoon and Vincent. The Nahoon, Buffalo and Gonubie rivers cut deep wooded valleys through the city, and many stands back onto them. Big coral trees, figs, Norfolk Island pines and old gums share gardens with fast exotic growth. Coastal storms and strong winds bring trees down every so often. Requests range from homes and complexes to schools, the harbour area and farms towards Qonce and Bhisho. Some coastal forest trees are protected and much of the valley bush is sensitive, so check before clearing a stand.

Typical garden refuse removal requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: clearing branches, leaves and old shrubs after trimming or a big garden clean-up
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: regular loads of garden waste from common areas and gardens in complexes
- Businesses and commercial property: clearing garden waste from office parks, hotels and shopping centre grounds
