Where your rubbish goes

Sorted, recycled, donated. Never dumped.

We take responsibility for your rubbish from the moment it's on our truck.

01

Sorted

Every load is sorted, so each item goes to the right place.

02

Recycled

Metal, timber, cardboard and e-waste go to recyclers instead of landfill.

03

Donated

Usable furniture and appliances go to local charities.

04

Disposed of properly

Whatever's left goes to EPA-licensed facilities. Never illegally dumped.

Why this matters: EPA Victoria encourages everyone to only use licensed operators and to know where their rubbish ends up. With us, you know exactly where it goes.

Will the price change on the day?

No. The price we quote is the price you pay, as long as the job matches what you told us or showed us in your photos. There are no hidden fees.

Do you really beat any written quote?

Yes. Show us a written quote from another Melbourne rubbish removal company for the same job, and we'll beat it. WhatsApp it to us with a photo of your rubbish.

How quickly will you call me back?

Within 30 minutes of your online enquiry. Or call us now to talk straight away.

How much does rubbish removal cost?

It depends on how much there is and what it is. We price by volume, there's no call-out fee, and heavy materials are quoted separately. Try the load estimator, or WhatsApp us a photo for an accurate price.

Is it better than a skip bin or council hard rubbish collection?

For most jobs, yes. With a skip bin you do all the loading yourself, and you need space on your property or a permit to put it on the street. Council hard waste collections can mean waiting weeks, with limits on what they'll take. We come when it suits you, often the same day, load everything ourselves and take it away.

What areas do you cover?

We provide rubbish collection across Melbourne's inner and south-east, including the Stonnington, Bayside, Glen Eira, Boroondara and Monash council areas. Popular areas include Toorak, South Yarra, Brighton, Hampton, Sandringham and Caulfield. Not sure if we cover you? Give us a call.

Can you come today?

We keep same-day slots 7 days a week, subject to availability. Call as early as you can for the best chance.

Do I need to be home when you come?

Not necessarily. If the items are easy for us to reach, we can collect them while you're out. We'll sort out the details when you book.

What can't you take?

We don't take hazardous waste, such as asbestos, chemicals, paint, gas bottles or medical waste. These need a licensed specialist. See what we take and don't take, or send us a photo if you're unsure.

Do you recycle?

Yes. We sort what we collect and recycle what we can, instead of sending everything to landfill.

How do I pay?

We accept all common payment methods, including card, bank transfer and cash.

Do you work with businesses and property managers?

Yes. We handle office, retail and construction site waste, and we work with owners corporations and strata managers on scheduled clean-ups.
