Same-day junk removal. One upfront price. We do all the lifting.
Dr. Rubbish is a local rubbish removalist covering all of Cheltenham VIC 3192, plus Highett, Mentone, Moorabbin and Heatherton. We do same-day rubbish removal and junk removal for houses, units, townhouses and businesses, and we pick up hard rubbish straight from your house, garage or backyard.
Cheltenham has a bit of everything: post-war family homes on big blocks, rows of units and new townhouses, the Charman Road shopping strip, and Westfield Southland drawing the whole south-east. That makes for a steady mix of jobs, from clearing a unit before it goes on the market to emptying a garage, a shed and half a backyard in one go. Same-day junk removal in Cheltenham is usually possible, and it's rarely more than a day or two away.
Household, commercial and renovation rubbish collection in Cheltenham, from single-item pickups to full property clearances.

The jobs we're booked for most often around Cheltenham, Highett and Mentone.
Cheltenham has plenty of units and townhouses on subdivided blocks. We work around shared driveways, single garages and stairs, and clear it all in one visit before a sale, at the end of a lease or before new tenants move in.
Many of Cheltenham's post-war brick homes come with a big garage, a shed and decades of storage. We empty the lot before photos, auction day, settlement or demolition.
Moving from the family home into a unit or aged care means deciding what goes. We take what you don't need, donate what's still usable, and work at a pace that suits the family.
Missed the council collection, or have more than it will take? We pick up hard rubbish from wherever it sits, so there's no stacking it on the nature strip and waiting.
Big Cheltenham backyards mean prunings, old fencing, broken outdoor furniture and sheds full of junk. We load it, bag the loose material and take it all in one trip.
Fit-out waste, old shelving, stock and office furniture for businesses along Charman Road and around Southland, booked at a time that works around your trading hours.

Most of Cheltenham is in the City of Kingston, and some streets are in Bayside. Both councils run booked hard waste collections, which work well if you can plan ahead and your pile fits their rules. If you need it gone sooner, have more than the limit, or can't carry it out to the kerb yourself, our hard rubbish removal in Cheltenham picks it up the same day or the next.

Call, WhatsApp a photo of the pile, or fill in our quote form. A photo is the quickest way to a firm price.
Same-day or next-day, or booked around your moving day, settlement or builder's timeline.
Our crew carries everything out and loads the truck, then sorts the load so usable goods are donated and the rest is recycled where possible.
Not every Cheltenham job is a whole-house clearance. Plenty of our junk removal Cheltenham bookings are a single item: the old couch that won't fit in the new unit, a fridge that's been sitting in the garage since the renovation, the trampoline the kids outgrew, or the boxes left over after moving into a townhouse with no shed. You don't need to drag anything to the kerb. We carry it out from wherever it is, including upstairs bedrooms and back sheds, and you only pay for the space it takes up in our truck.
Cheltenham sits between the Bayside suburbs we already work in every week, like Sandringham and Hampton, and the rest of the City of Kingston. That means short wait times, quick quotes, and crews who know the area, from the streets around Cheltenham and Southland stations to the shops along Charman Road. Whether it's a family home near Cheltenham Park or a unit off Park Road, we get it done without the back-and-forth.

We price by how much space your rubbish takes up in the truck and what kind of rubbish it is, so a single couch costs far less than a full garage. Send a photo by WhatsApp for a quick, free quote. There's no callout fee in Cheltenham, and repeat or early bookings come with a discount.
Usually, yes. Many Cheltenham units and townhouses have shared or narrow driveways with no room for a skip, and leaving one on the street needs a permit from Kingston or Bayside council. With us there's no bin to wait for or fill yourself: we do the lifting and take it all in one visit.
