Why the cheapest quote is the expensive one

Disposal in Victoria costs real money. A quote well under everyone else has left something out, and it is almost always the tip.

Send a photo, get a price

  • The levy is the cost

    Victoria charges a state landfill levy on every tonne that goes to metropolitan landfill. It jumped more than 30 per cent in July 2025, to around $170 a tonne. That is before the tip's own gate fee. An operator quoting well below the market has skipped the weighbridge, or is going somewhere they should not.

  • E-waste cannot go to landfill

    Victoria banned it in 2019. E-waste means anything with a plug, a battery or a power cord. Televisions, computers, printers, power tools, kettles, old phones. It comes off the truck separately and goes to a licensed recycler.

  • EPA Victoria prosecutes this

    Illegal dumping is not a parking ticket. EPA Victoria fined one skip bin company $10,176 for unlawfully depositing more than 1,000 litres of waste. They were also made to clean it up and dispose of it properly. The operator wore all of it.

  • What sorting actually means

    Metal, timber, cardboard, e-waste and anything still usable come off before the rest goes to landfill. Less tonnage over the weighbridge means a smaller levy bill. That is the only honest way a price comes down.

Check your council hard waste first

Every Melbourne council runs hard waste differently. Some give you booked collections each year and some do not. Most have a long list of what they will not take.

If your pile fits their rules and you can wait, use it. Ring us when it does not fit, will not be taken, or you need it gone this week.

What affects your quote

  • Volume

    The only thing that really sets the base price.

  • Weight

    Soil, tiles and timber hit the levy harder than furniture.

  • Access

    Third floor with no lift takes longer than a driveway.

  • Sorting

    A mixed pile takes longer to separate than a clean one.

  • E-waste

    Separated and taken to a licensed recycler, not the tip.

  • Hazardous items

    We cannot take them, and we will tell you who can.

The right truck for the pile

Small tipper

A garage, a few rooms or a single mattress run. Fits a narrow street.

Large tipper

Full house clear-outs and office defits in one load.

Sorting on board

Metal, timber, cardboard and e-waste kept apart as we load.

Trolleys and straps

For getting a fridge down a staircase without taking the wall with it.

Four steps and it is gone

  1. 01 Step

    Send a photo

    A picture of the pile beats a description every time. Price back within two hours.

  2. 02 Step

    We confirm on site

    The crew check the load before touching it. If it is smaller than quoted, so is the price.

  3. 03 Step

    We load and sort

    Out of the house, up from the yard, down from the roof cavity. Sorted as it goes on.

  4. 04 Step

    Licensed disposal

    Recyclers first, landfill last. Ask and we will send the disposal receipt.

Four things worth checking before you book anyone

  1. Is the tip fee in the price?

    Ours is. A quote without it is not a quote, it is a deposit.

  2. Where does it actually go?

    Licensed facilities, with a receipt on request. Ask anyone you hire.

  3. Do they separate e-waste?

    They have to in Victoria. Plenty do not. Ours comes off the truck apart.

  4. Who does the lifting?

    We do. You do not need to drag anything to the kerb first.

Rubbish removal near you, anywhere in Melbourne

Metro wide, seven days. Inner-city jobs need a smaller truck and sometimes a permit for the kerb. Outer corridor jobs get an earlier start because of the drive and the distance to the transfer station.

Rubbish removal questions, answered

How much does rubbish removal cost in Melbourne?
It is priced by how much space the load takes on the truck. Weight matters too, because the state levy is charged per tonne. Send a photo of the pile and you get a number within two hours.
Are tip fees included?
Yes, the state levy and the gate fee are both in the quote. A price far cheaper than everyone else has usually left them out. They turn up later.
Why did disposal get so expensive?
The Victorian landfill levy rose more than 30 per cent in July 2025. Metropolitan waste now runs around $170 a tonne. Every operator pays it on every tonne. Anyone pricing as if it does not exist is worth a second look.
Do I have to carry it to the kerb?
No. We load from wherever it is. Inside the house, up the back, down a staircase or out of a roof cavity.
Can you take my old TV and computer?
Yes, and it goes to a recycler rather than the tip. Victoria banned e-waste from landfill in 2019. That covers anything with a plug, a battery or a power cord.
What about asbestos?
We will not touch it, and nor should anyone without a licence. If you suspect it, stop and get it tested. We can point you to a licensed removalist.
Can I just use council hard waste instead?
Often, yes, and you should if it fits. Every Melbourne council runs it differently and most have a long exclusion list. Ring us when your pile does not fit the rules or you cannot wait.
Can you come today?
Usually, if a truck is free. Ring rather than email for a same day job and you will know within minutes.
Do you give a disposal receipt?
Yes, on request. Businesses ask for it most, but anyone can have one.
What happens to things that still work?
Usable furniture and goods go to reuse where we can place them. It keeps tonnage off the weighbridge, which is better for everyone.
Can you clear a deceased estate?
Yes, and we do it at whatever pace suits. We set aside anything that looks like documents, photos or jewellery rather than making the call ourselves.
Do you take building rubble?
Light renovation waste yes, heavy rubble no. Concrete, bricks and soil in volume need a skip rated for it. We will say so at quote stage.
Can you work in an apartment building?
Yes. Tell us the building when you book, because the lift and the dock may need a window. Inner-city kerbs sometimes need a permit as well.
Is there a minimum charge?
Yes, a minimum load, because the truck and the crew still have to come. A single mattress is still worth ringing about.
Are you insured?
Yes, public liability on every job. Worth asking any operator who is about to carry a fridge down your staircase.
