Most homeowners assume their renovation contractor handles debris removal. In practice, the contract often only covers the demolition itself — leaving you with a pile of tiles, broken cabinetry and wet cement bags blocking the corridor.
We recommend a two-stage clearance for any reno larger than a single bathroom. First, schedule a mid-project pickup once demolition is done — this clears the work zone for the new build phase. Second, book a final clearance after handover to remove protective coverings, packaging and offcuts.
- 1Mid-reno: hack debris, broken tiles, old fixtures.
- 2Final handover: cardboard, plastic wrap, paint cans, offcuts.
Pricing is driven by volume and floor accessibility. A small Mickey Mouse run from a high-floor unit with a service lift is straightforward; a walk-up with debris from a full kitchen renovation needs a larger crew and longer slot. Send us photos and we'll size the job correctly the first time.
- Volume — measured in cubic metres or truck-loads.
- Access — service lift vs walk-up, distance from lift lobby.
- Material — clean inert vs mixed waste vs hazardous.
- Timing — same-day, next-day, or scheduled slot.
“The cheapest quote is rarely the cheapest job. Hidden 'extra trip' charges add up faster than a properly-sized truck on day one.”
Eco-conscious disposal is built into every job. Where possible, metal fixtures, glass and clean timber are routed to recyclers rather than landfill. Ask your crew leader for the breakdown after the job — we're happy to share it.
