How to Choose the Best Rubbish Removal in Melbourne

Use this checklist before hiring any rubbish removal in Melbourne, Victoria.

  1. 1

    Verify their electrical licence is current at your state's electrical safety authority (e.g. Energy Safe Victoria, NSW Fair Trading).

  2. 2

    Confirm they carry public liability insurance of at least $5 million — ask to see the certificate.

  3. 3

    Get 2–3 written quotes for any job over $500. A written quote protects both parties and clarifies the full scope.

  4. 4

    Check their Google and TradeRefer ratings — look for consistent reviews mentioning punctuality, clean workmanship, and clear communication.

  5. 5

    Ask whether they'll provide a Certificate of Compliance (electrical safety certificate) on completion, as required by law in most states.

Frequently Asked Questions — Rubbish Removal in Melbourne

How much does rubbish removal cost in Australia?

Professional rubbish removal (labour plus disposal) costs $200–$600 for a standard house clean-up load. A skip bin hire costs $250–$600 for a 4–8m³ bin for 3–7 days. Green waste removal costs $150–$400. Deceased estate or hoarder clean-outs cost $500–$3,000+ depending on volume. Prices vary significantly by location and waste type.

What is the difference between skip bin hire and a rubbish removal service?

Skip bin hire involves a bin delivered to your property for you to fill at your own pace, then collected — ideal if you have time to load it yourself. A rubbish removal service (e.g. 1800 Got Junk) sends a crew who loads everything for you and removes it immediately — faster and no need to do the heavy lifting, but 30–50% more expensive than a bin.

What can I put in a skip bin in Australia?

General household rubbish, furniture, garden waste, timber, bricks, concrete (heavier surcharges apply), and mattresses (usually a surcharge) are accepted in most skip bins. Items that cannot go in skip bins: asbestos, car tyres, chemicals, paint, gas bottles, batteries, and e-waste. Prohibited items will result in additional disposal fees.

How do I dispose of asbestos in Australia?

Asbestos removal and disposal is strictly regulated. In all states, asbestos must be double-bagged in heavy-duty polyethylene (200 micron), clearly labelled, and taken to a licensed waste facility. In most states, homeowners can remove up to 10m² of non-friable asbestos (like flat fibro sheets) themselves, but must follow strict safety protocols. Larger amounts require a licensed removalist.

What is e-waste and how do I dispose of it?

E-waste includes TVs, computers, phones, printers, and appliances. The National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme (NTCRS) provides free drop-off at collection points — search techcollect.com.au or recyclingnearyou.com.au. Councils offer annual e-waste collection events. E-waste cannot go in general bins or skip bins due to toxic materials.
