How much rubbish do you have?

Not sure whether your job is Small, Medium or Large? Here’s a simple guide to help you pick the right size and get an accurate price the first time.

Our three sizes, explained

Small

Up to ~2m³ — about 2 box trailers

A single piece of furniture, a few bags of junk, or a small pile in the garage.

Good for: a couch removal, clearing a wardrobe, a few boxes after a move.

Medium

Up to ~4m³ — a single trailer load

A modest garage or shed clean-out, or a few pieces of furniture plus general junk.

Good for: a garage clean-out, small reno debris, a 1-2 bedroom end of lease clean.

Large

Up to ~9m³ — one full truck load

A full house or multi-room clean-out, larger renovation waste, or a garage packed floor to ceiling.

Good for: whole-home clean-outs, deceased estates, bigger renovation jobs. Bigger than one truck load? No problem — we’ll price it as a second load and confirm with you first.

Getting an accurate quote

Include everything

If in doubt, count every item you want gone — including things tucked in corners or up in the roof.

Photos help

Send a few photos when you book so we can quote accurately the first time, not guess.

It’s fine to go bigger

It’s easier (and better value) for us to quote right the first time than to add a second load on the day.

Bigger than expected? No problem

If your job turns out to need more than the quoted size, we’ll always confirm any extra cost with you before doing more work. If it turns out smaller than quoted, we’ll refund the difference or work it out with you — honest mistakes go both ways.

Concrete, bricks, tiles and industrial rubber are heavier than general waste, so these may cost more than our standard pricing above.
