Rubbish Removal

Most old fences do not fall over. They lean, then they lean further, then a panel comes loose in a storm and the decision gets made for you.

A Bali hut looks superb for about five summers. Then the thatch starts thinning on the weather side, the roof stops shedding water properly, and the whole thing goes from being the best part of the yard to the part you avoid looking at.

Clearing out an apartment is a different exercise from clearing out a house. What changes in a Sydney unit is the lift, the stairs, the strata rules and where the truck can legally stop.

Clearing a parent’s or relative’s home is one of those jobs that nobody feels ready for.

Here’s an honest look at when each one is the better call, including the times we’ll tell you to use the council….

Old carpet looks manageable until it’s off the floor. The quickest options in Sydney are hiring a skip bag, booking a rubbish removal service, or taking it to a tip yourself, council kerbside collections rarely take more than one or two rolls, and many Sydney councils won’t take carpet at all.
