Included in the Collection:

- Lift the quoted waste from the agreed accessible area
- Load the truck and secure the waste for transport
- Take the load to a suitable licensed NSW facility
Work Outside This Service:

How Carpet Waste Collection Works
A clear photo quote keeps the booking short and prevents confusion about fixed flooring, load size and access.
- Send photos and load details
Photograph the full pile and each material type. Include your suburb, preferred day, whether the carpet is dry or wet, and any stairs, lifts, narrow paths or parking limits.
- Confirm the quote and pick-up time
RubbishGo checks the load volume, likely weight, access, labour and disposal charges. The crew confirms what is included before the booking is locked in.
- Leave the detached flooring in the agreed area
The flooring must be off the floor. It can remain inside the property when inside collection is included in the quote. Keep the path to the truck clear.
- The crew lifts and loads the waste
The team collects the photographed materials from the agreed location and loads them into the truck. Tell the crew before loading if the pile has changed.
- The load goes to a suitable facility
Accepted material is taken to a licensed NSW waste or recycling facility. The destination depends on material, condition and facility rules.
How Much Does Carpet Removal and Disposal Cost?
Carpet waste is priced by truck volume and the work needed to load it. Clean, dry rolls are easier to assess than wet, loose or mixed flooring waste. Stairs, long carries, tight access, heavy rolls, disposal charges, after-hours work and multiple trips can change the quote.
Standard Carpet and Flooring Waste
From $120 per cubic metre. Suitable for smaller or standard loads of detached carpet, underlay and accepted loose flooring.
Larger Carpet Waste Loads
From $90 per cubic metre. The lower starting rate applies to qualifying larger loads.
Mixed Renovation Loads
Send photos for a job quote. Material type, weight, sorting needs, access and disposal fees affect the price.
Starting rates are a guide. RubbishGo confirms the quoted price before loading. A changed load or access condition should be priced before extra work starts.
When You Might Need Carpet Waste Pick-Up

Clear removed carpet, underlay and offcuts before the new floor job is signed off.
Single-Room or Full-Home Replacement

Office, Retail or Strata Fit-Out

Should You Book RubbishGo, Council Collection or a Skip Bin?
RubbishGo Pick-Up
A good fit when the carpet is already detached and you want a directly agreed time, a photo quote and crew loading from the quoted accessible area. Mixed accepted renovation waste can be added to the same enquiry.
Council Bulky Waste
May suit eligible household carpet that meets local booking, quantity, length and kerbside set-out rules. The resident handles lifting and set-out. Check the current rules for your council before placing carpet outside.
Skip Bin
May suit a longer renovation that produces waste over several days. Confirm that the supplier accepts carpet, ask about weight or material charges, and allow for loading the bin yourself.
Local council rules can change. Use the current Central Coast Council, City of Newcastle or Lake Macquarie City Council guidance before choosing a council collection.

What Happens to Carpet Waste After Collection?
Carpet can contain fibre, backing, adhesive and underlay in one load. Its destination depends on material, condition, contamination and the receiving facility’s rules. Clean, separated material may go to a recycling route when a suitable facility accepts it. Material that cannot be recovered goes to an approved waste facility.
RubbishGo takes accepted flooring waste to licensed NSW waste or recycling facilities. The business cannot promise that every carpet or underlay load will be recycled.
Do not add asbestos, chemicals, liquids, medical waste or other regulated hazardous material to a standard carpet load. Stop work and seek licensed advice if old flooring or underlay may contain asbestos.

Carpet Removal and Disposal FAQs
Do you pull up carpet from the floor?
No. RubbishGo collects carpet and flooring waste after it has been detached by you, a carpet layer, an installer or a builder. Carpet pull-up, adhesive scraping and fixed floor stripping are outside this service.
What carpet and flooring waste do you collect?
RubbishGo can collect detached carpet, carpet tiles, underlay, loose vinyl or linoleum, loose vinyl or laminate planks, and accepted mixed flooring renovation waste. Send photos of every material before booking.
Does the carpet have to be cut or rolled?
Not in every case. It must be detached from the floor. Send photos that show roll length, loose sections and access so the crew can confirm how the load should be prepared.
Do I need to move the carpet outside?
No, not when collection from an accessible indoor area is included in the quote. Tell RubbishGo about stairs, lifts, narrow hallways, long carries and building access rules.
Can carpet and underlay go in the same load?
Yes. List both materials in the enquiry so the full volume, weight and disposal needs can be priced.
Can you collect one room of carpet waste?
Yes. There is no strict quantity minimum. Send photos of the load and your suburb so RubbishGo can quote the job and check available pick-up times.
Can you collect from an apartment or commercial building?
Yes, subject to access. Include the floor level, lift size, loading-zone rules, parking limits and any building booking times with your enquiry.
Is same-day carpet waste pick-up available?
Same-day or next-day collection may be available. Send photos early and the team will confirm the nearest open time for your suburb and load.
How is the carpet removal price worked out?
The quote considers truck volume, likely weight, material mix, stairs, lifts, long carries, parking, labour, disposal charges and the number of trips. The price is confirmed before loading.
Can you take wet or mould-affected carpet?
Send photos and describe the condition before booking. Wet or mould-affected carpet can be much heavier and may need different handling. Acceptance and price depend on safe handling and facility rules.
Can asbestos or suspected asbestos go in the load?
No. RubbishGo does not accept asbestos in a standard collection. Stop work, keep people away from the area and contact a licensed asbestos assessor or removal contractor if you suspect asbestos in flooring or underlay.
Ready to Book Carpet Waste Pick-Up?
