Rubbish Removal in Melbourne

Council hard rubbish or a removal crew?

Most Melbourne councils offer some form of hard rubbish collection, often booked once or twice a year with limits on what and how much you can put out. When the pile is bigger, you need it gone sooner, or it includes things council won't take, a removal crew is the faster option. Paint, chemicals, gas bottles and asbestos need to be mentioned before anyone arrives.

Common questions

Will a removal crew take things council hard rubbish won't?

Often, for things like large volumes of household goods or renovation offcuts, but hazardous items need specialist disposal. Send photos and a list, and ask which items they can't take.

Will the crew carry rubbish out from inside the house?

Some will and some quote for kerbside pickup only. Show the access route and agree on where collection starts.

Can they take a mattress or old sofa?

Often, but bulky items may be charged or handled separately. Include them in the photos and quote request.
