Carpet Removal
Carpet Removal & Old Flooring Disposal
Replacing flooring is a big job — and removing carpet or old vinyl is often the most time-consuming and physically demanding part. RubbishGo provides professional carpet removals and floor removal services so you don’t have to deal with heavy lifting, dust, glue, or disposal.
- RubbishGo does NOT remove or rip up flooring from the ground.
- We only collect and dispose of carpet, vinyl, and flooring materials AFTER they have already been removed.

What Carpets We Take
Once removed, we can collect:
Carpet & carpet tiles
Underlay (foam, rubber, felt)
Vinyl flooring & linoleum
Loose or removable vinyl planks
General renovation flooring waste
What We Do Waste Removal Only
We only handle waste collection and disposal after flooring has already been removed.
This includes:
- Collecting old carpet after it’s been taken up
- Picking up leftover flooring from renovation work
- Disposing of underlay, vinyl, and laminate
- Clearing site waste for builders and tradies
If the flooring is already removed (by you or your installer), we take care of the rest — the lifting, loading, and disposal.
What We Don’t Do:
We do not remove flooring ourselves, including pulling up carpet or glued floors, removing tiles, timber or any fixed flooring, or carrying out demolition and floor stripping work. If you need actual flooring removal, that is outside our service.

Transparent Pricing, Clear Expectations & Responsible Disposal
We believe in clear pricing, honest service conditions, and environmentally responsible disposal practices across every job we complete in NSW.
1. Pricing Structure
Our pricing is simple and upfront:
From $250 per cubic metre (m³) for standard waste collection
This ensures you only pay for what is actually collected — no hidden fees or surprise charges.
2. What Can Increase the Cost
In some situations, additional factors may affect pricing:
1. Heavy or bulky materials requiring extra labour
2. Difficult access (stairs, long carry distances, tight entry points)
3. Large or mixed renovation loads requiring multiple trips
4. After-hours or weekend bookings (if requested)
5. Special handling items that require extra care or separation
Customer Preparation Before Arrival
To help us complete your job quickly and efficiently, we recommend:
1- Ensuring all carpet, vinyl, or flooring waste is already fully removed from the floor
2- Placing materials in an accessible area (driveway, front yard, or ground floor)
3- Separating heavy or sharp items where possible
4- Keeping access paths clear for safe loading
5- Informing us in advance about stairs or access restrictions
Environmental Responsibility & Carpet Recycling
Where possible, we ensure old carpet and flooring materials are:
- Sent to licensed recycling facilities
- Separated into components such as fibre, backing, and underlay
- Diverted away from landfill whenever recycling options are available
- Processed according to NSW waste management guidelines
Modern carpet is often made from a mix of materials, so full recycling is not always possible — but we always aim to recover as much as we can.

Common Questions About Carpet & Flooring Waste Removal
Got questions about how our service works, pricing, or what we collect? Below are the most common questions customers ask about RubbishGo’s carpet and flooring waste removal services.
Do you remove carpet from the floor (ripping it up)?
No. We do not remove carpet or flooring from the ground. Our service is strictly for collecting and disposing of carpet, vinyl, and flooring waste after it has already been removed by you, your installer, or your builder.
Do you collect carpet and underlay together?
Yes. Once removed, we collect and dispose of carpet, underlay, vinyl, and laminate flooring waste in the same job.
Is there a minimum amount required?
No strict minimum. We can collect anything from a single room of carpet waste to full house renovation loads, as long as the materials are already removed and ready for pickup.
What happens to the carpet and flooring after collection?
All collected waste is transported to licensed NSW waste and recycling facilities. Where possible, materials like carpet fibre, underlay, and vinyl are separated for recycling. The remaining non-recyclable waste is disposed of responsibly in accordance with environmental regulations.
How quickly can I book a pickup?
Most jobs are scheduled within 1–5 business days. Same-week bookings are common, and urgent same-day or next-day collections may be available depending on location and availability.
