Rubbish And Waste Types

Waste Types, and Why It’s Important

Certain types of waste are prohibited from being placed in skip bins by law.

In addition, the dumps where we dispose of your waste have very strict guidelines, which we are bound to abide by.

It is critical that you correctly identify the type of waste you are going to place in your bin to avoid additional charges imposed by the disposal facility.

We deal with green waste removal in Melbourne as well as hard rubbish, please see details below:

Thankyou Steve for helping us today. You were both so kind, understanding, empathetic and genuinely happy to help. Being non- judgemental is super important because often people holding on to items and "hoarding" is related to mental illness or disability. You go above and beyond and understand exactly how much of a positive impact can be made by supporting people to get rid of items. The fact you're willing to take your time, help do things and having a chat made me feel valued and understood. Other people have been rude and pushy and charge a lot more. You came out within 24 hours and provided information in writing beforehand too. I love that you only charge for the volume you actually take. Highly recommended, and as a bonus you offer NDIS billing which is very helpful. Keep being amazing!

Reached out to Steve to dispose of a lot of green waste. Steve responded promtly and was even able to attend a few hours later. He was friendly and professional and I would hesitate to recommend his services.
