One visit, one clear load

Show the crew what stays and what goes.

You do not need to drag accepted items to the kerb. Explain where they are, point out the complete load and mention stairs, lifts, gates, loading docks, storage cages or long carrying distances before the visit.

Homes and businesses

The same decision rule applies: safe, suitable and hand-loadable.

A clear description helps the team confirm whether the load fits the service and avoids surprises when the truck arrives.

Households and apartments

Common jobs include furniture, mattresses, disconnected white goods, garage clutter, storage-cage items, moving rubbish and mixed property cleanouts. Tell us about stairs, lift bookings, basement access and parking restrictions.

Offices, shops and managed properties

Common business loads include desks, chairs, cabinets, shelving, displays, packaging and storeroom clutter. Share the site contact, loading-dock window, goods-lift booking, floor and deadline.

Items needing preparation

Empty cupboards and appliances, remove food and liquids, disconnect fixed services safely, delete confidential data from electronics and identify anything unusually heavy before the crew arrives.

Items needing another provider

Hazardous, regulated, medical and specialist heavy materials should not be hidden inside bags or boxes. Tell us what is present so the correct disposal path can be used.

Official disposal pathways

Where excluded materials should go.

Junk King does not operate a public tip. These official services are included because some materials require a regulated or dedicated disposal pathway.

Paint, oils, batteries and gas bottles

NSW Community Recycling Centres and Household Chemical CleanOut events accept specified household problem waste. Check the current item limits and nearest service with the EPA.

Open the NSW EPA finder

Asbestos and suspected asbestos

Asbestos must not be mixed into a general load. NSW guidance recommends licensed handling and disposal at a facility authorised to accept asbestos waste.

Read the official asbestos guidance

Council bulky-item collections

Council rules, booking systems and accepted items vary across Sydney. Check your own council when timing is flexible and the items fit its current collection rules.

Find your local council

Before collection day

Four details make the pickup easier.

The crew can plan the right access and assess the complete load when these basics are ready.

1

Confirm the complete load

Walk through every room, storage area or work zone and decide what stays and what goes.

2

Share access details

Mention stairs, lifts, gates, loading docks, parking limits and the distance from the rubbish to the truck.

3

Separate problem waste

Keep chemicals, batteries, gas bottles, suspected asbestos, sharps and other excluded materials away from the collection pile.

4

Send useful photos

Photograph the whole load and any difficult access rather than sending close-ups of only one item.
