Clear what the move leaves behind.

A rental clearout often involves more than the furniture in the living room. Include every area that needs clearing so the quote covers the complete job.

Furniture and household items

Unwanted couches, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs, bags and boxes. Appliances can be included with a larger household load. For furniture-heavy jobs, see old furniture removal.

Balconies, garages and storage

Outdoor chairs, stored belongings, packaging and rubbish left in a garage or storage cage. Tell us about a second access point or a space on another floor.

Last items after the removalists

Broken flat-pack furniture, unwanted shelves and loose rubbish that did not go to the new property. Keep any remaining moving boxes separate so they are not mistaken for rubbish.

If the job involves clearing a whole rental or preparing a property for sale, our property cleanout service explains the wider scope. We can also assess rubbish in garages and storage units as part of your enquiry.

Plan collection around cleaners and key return.

Work backwards from the handover time. Tell us when the removalists finish, when cleaners are booked and when access to the property ends. The rubbish needs to be identified and accessible before the crew can quote and load it.

Before the move

Decide which belongings are going to the new address, being collected by someone else or being removed as rubbish. If a private sale or donation falls through, let us know that the load has changed. Do not leave that decision until the crew has priced a smaller collection.

On moving day

Keep the route clear of packed boxes and equipment. If both crews need a lift or loading area, arrange separate access windows where practical. Show us any remaining rubbish before the cleaners start working around it.

Before returning keys

Walk through the agreed rooms, balcony, garage and storage cage. Check that retained belongings have been collected and that the rubbish covered by the quote has gone. Keep any cleaning, repairs or other handover tasks on your own checklist; rubbish removal is one part of preparing the property.

What to send with an urgent pickup enquiry.

For an urgent job, call rather than relying only on a form message. Have the following details ready so the team can discuss a collection time that fits your deadline.

  • Your suburb and deadline: say when the property must be accessible and when the keys go back.
  • The full load: send wide photos of each pile and closer photos of bulky furniture. Mention items still in cupboards or storage.
  • Building access: include the floor, stairs, lift booking, intercom, keys and loading entrance.
  • Who can approve: arrange someone who knows what is being removed and can approve the on-site price.
  • What belongs to the property: identify landlord-supplied furniture, fixed fittings and items that must stay.

We collect from inside, so there is no need to move heavy furniture onto the street. If you have already left Sydney, arrange an authorised contact to meet the crew and make decisions about the load.

If access or the load changes after booking, tell the team promptly. A booked lift ending before loading is complete or a locked garage can affect the collection, even if the rubbish itself is straightforward.

One agreed price for the rubbish being removed.

The crew gives you a free on-site quote after checking the items and access. The upfront price includes labour, tip fees, standard tolls and disposal costs for the agreed load. Approve it before loading begins.

A single couch, a room of furniture and a mixed load from several floors involve different amounts of work. Long carries, stairs and dismantling affect loading time. Show everything that needs to go before accepting the quote, and confirm any extra items before they are added.

Choosing a collection option

If you still have time, an accepted council collection or a confirmed reuse pickup may suit some items. Check the current arrangements before placing rubbish outside. A crew pickup is useful when the deadline is close, the rubbish is indoors or you cannot handle the lifting yourself.

Junk King provides rubbish removal. Cleaning, repairs and decisions about a bond or final inspection are separate matters; we do not promise a bond refund as part of the collection.

Keep retained and restricted items out of the load.

Set aside keys, documents, chargers, valuables and belongings that need to travel with you. Empty drawers and cupboards being removed, and label similar pieces clearly if only some are going.

Do not include asbestos or suspected asbestos, chemicals, oils, liquids, concrete, bricks, stone, pianos, safes or very heavy specialist items. Describe unusual renovation leftovers or fixed fittings when booking. Rubbish collection is not permission to remove another person's belongings; confirm what is authorised before the visit.
