How Home Rubbish Collection Works
We’ve made home rubbish removal simple. Just show us what needs to go, and we’ll take care of the heavy lifting, loading and removal.
- Send Us a Few Photos
Take a few photos of the rubbish or unwanted items and send them to us with your suburb. That’s usually all we need to get started.
- Get Your Upfront Quote
We’ll review the items, estimate the load and check any access requirements. You’ll know the price before we start.
- Book a Time That Suits You
Once you’re happy with the quote, choose an available collection time. Same-day collection may also be available in selected areas.
- Leave the Heavy Lifting to Us
You don’t need to carry furniture or rubbish outside. Our team will lift and load the agreed items from inside your home, garage, yard or another accessible location.
How Much Does Home Rubbish Removal Cost?
General household rubbish removal starts at $120 per cubic metre. Larger loads may qualify for rates from $90 per cubic metre. Household clean-outs start at $250.

What Happens to the Rubbish After Collection?
Once we collect your household rubbish, we sort the items and work out the best way to handle them.
- Donate: Usable furniture and household items may be passed on to local charities or reuse organisations.
- Recycle: Where possible, materials such as metal, cardboard and other recyclable items are separated and sent to appropriate recycling facilities.
- Dispose: Items that cannot be reused or recycled are taken to a licensed disposal facility for responsible handling.
What happens to each item depends on its condition, material and whether a suitable reuse or recycling facility is available.
