The home renovation is complete, but the rubbish left behind is creating a visual impairment. Call in rubbish removers and enjoy your new home design.

Hiring a mini-skip bin has long been the usual way of disposing of waste from a home renovation. Homeowners generally load the bin themselves before it gets picked up and sent to landfill. This is fine if you don’t mind rolling up the sleeves for a bit of DIY, but for those who’d rather let the experts deal with the mess, rubbish removal companies have a solution for that too.

Using rubbish removal companies

There is now a trend towards engaging rubbish removal companies who can do everything for you – they remove the waste straightaway, so there’s no need to have an unsightly mini-skip on your property. “We load and remove all dry waste into trucks at a convenient time for the client – an outsourced solution, in effect” says Robert, a rubbish remover.

From rubbish to recycled waste

Savvier companies are also making sure they recycle renovation waste where possible, as today’s environmentally aware clients are often concerned about where their waste ends up. “We try to reduce what ends up in landfill by recycling,” says Rob. “We use small tip trucks to shorten the removal time and sort waste on the spot, so that as much as possible is recycled.”

The renovation waste removal process

Waste that is destined for landfill is generally loaded onto the truck first, then recyclables are put on top and offloaded at various outlets before the truck heads to landfill to dump the rest. “The benefits of the service are obvious,” says Rob. “There’s no labour required by the client, trucks are only on site for the duration of the load time, recycling is maximised, landfill usage is reduced.”

Costs of waste removal

Many rubbish removers charge a cubic metre rate – that is, there is a fee for each cubic metre of waste that is loaded onto the truck. “We reduce the size of everything we can, which helps reduce the cost for the client,” says Rob. Of course, there are many different pricing options out there, so make sure you shop around before making any decisions.
