Reliable rubbish
removal for owners corporations
& body corporates
Council hard-waste services are built for households - not buildings on a private waste contract. We run scheduled bulk and hard waste removal for OC, body corporate and strata-managed properties across Bayside, Boroondara, Stonnington and Monash.
Why council hard waste collection may not be enough for your building
Council hard-waste services are generally designed around residential properties and individual households. For owners corporation and body corporate-managed buildings, the rules can be different - eligibility, collection frequency, booking requirements, access conditions and waste limits all vary between councils, particularly where a property operates under a private waste collection arrangement.
For a multi-unit building, even when a council service is technically available, a limited number of collections may not provide a practical solution for the volume of furniture, appliances, e-waste and other bulky items generated throughout the year.
That's where a dedicated owners corporation rubbish removal service helps - we work directly with OC managers, body corporates, strata managers and facilities managers to provide a reliable alternative for ongoing or occasional bulk waste removal.
Hard waste services for OC-managed buildings
Confirm current terms directly with your council. As a general guide:
Hard-waste eligibility can be affected by the property's waste collection arrangements, including private waste contracts - for OC-managed buildings, this can mean council collection isn't available the way it is for a standard residential property.
Eligible properties may access a limited number of hard-waste collections each year, subject to council booking, access and quantity requirements - limits that may not meet ongoing demand for larger buildings.
Hard-waste collection is subject to eligibility, booking and collection limits. For apartment and townhouse complexes, a dedicated service can add flexibility between council collections.
Eligible properties may access a limited annual hard-waste service, with conditions relating to booking, access and the quantity of material collected.

Rubbish removal for OC & strata management
Owners Corporations & Body Corporates
You're responsible for managing the common property and making decisions on behalf of the building. We provide a straightforward arrangement that can cover ongoing requirements.
Strata & Facilities Managers
Reduce the need to coordinate individual rubbish-removal requests, organise ad-hoc contractors, or rely solely on limited council collection dates.
Owners Corporation Committees
Need something for your next committee meeting? We provide a clear proposal covering recommended frequency, scope and pricing.
Multi-Building Portfolios
Managing several properties across Melbourne's inner and south-eastern suburbs? One service arrangement can cover multiple buildings.
Scheduled bulk rubbish removal, built around your building
OC-managed properties don't generate waste on a council collection calendar. Tenants move in and out, furniture gets replaced, storage areas fill up and renovation work creates additional waste.
Scheduled Bulk & Hard Waste Collection
Regular collections set to your building's volume and needs, not council's once-a-year booking window.
One-Off & Ongoing Rubbish Removal
A single clean-up before an AGM, after a move-out or following renovation work - no need to commit to a recurring schedule.
Multi-Building Contracts
One agreement covering every property in your portfolio, simplifying contractor management and administration.
OC-Ready Invoicing & Reporting
Invoiced to the owners corporation or managing agent directly, with documentation your committee can review.
Responsible Disposal & Recycling
Suitable items are diverted for reuse, donation or recycling where practical; the rest is disposed of responsibly.

Owners corporation & body corporate rubbish removal FAQs
Does our council collect hard waste from our building?
It depends on the council, property type, waste collection arrangements and current eligibility requirements. Multi-unit and privately serviced properties can have different rules from standard residential properties.
Can you provide rubbish removal for multiple buildings?
Yes. If you manage several owners corporation or body corporate properties across our four councils, we can structure a service arrangement covering multiple properties.
Can the OC or managing agent be invoiced directly?
Yes. We can invoice the owners corporation or managing agent directly, making it easier to manage through your building's existing accounts and administration processes.
Do you offer regular scheduled rubbish collection?
Yes. We arrange recurring collections based on your building's requirements, and the frequency can be adjusted depending on the volume and type of rubbish generated.
Can we use you for a one-off clean-up?
Absolutely. We assist with one-off bulk rubbish removal following tenant move-outs, renovations, building works, storage clean-outs or general common-area clearances.
What types of rubbish can you remove?
Bulky household furniture, mattresses, appliances, e-waste, green waste and other general hard rubbish. We can also discuss renovation and fit-out waste where appropriate.
Do you service apartment and townhouse complexes?
Yes. Our OC and body corporate service is designed for multi-unit properties, including apartment buildings and townhouse complexes.
How often should an OC arrange rubbish removal?
There's no single schedule that suits every building - it depends on unit count, tenant turnover, storage capacity and renovation activity. We'll recommend a schedule to fit.
