Frequently asked questions
Find out what items we can take, how our process works, and answers to the most frequently asked questions about our services.
General Information
Why do I need to pay if my items have value?
You are paying for a full removal service, not for item resale.
Our team handles all labour, transport, sorting, and logistics — that cost exists regardless of what happens to each item afterwards. Some items are resold through our Rehoming Hub. Many others are donated to charities. A significant portion cannot be rehomed at all and requires proper disposal.
Revenue from resale helps keep this model running, but it does not come close to covering the full cost of the operation. Without the service fee, this would not be viable.
Do you collect for free?
No. We’re a professional removal service, not a council or charity pickup.
Our pricing is based on the volume your items take in the truck, measured in cubic metres. Household furniture starts at $175/m³ including GST, with a minimum of 2m³ ($350 incl. GST). You only pay for what we actually remove.
Are you connected to the council or a council service?
No. We have no affiliation with any council.
Council cleanups are free but limited to roughly 1m³, require you to move everything to the kerb yourself, and operate on their schedule — not yours.
We’re a fully independent, professional removal company serving all of Sydney.
How does the removal process work?
Tell us what you have online and get a volume estimate.
Our two-person team arrives at your property, assesses the items, and confirms the final price before loading anything.
Once you approve, we remove everything and you pay only for the space used in the truck.
Pricing
How much does it cost?
We charge $175 per m³ incl. GST across all items and all loads. The minimum is 2m³ at $350 incl. GST. Access fees may apply for stairs, lifts, or disassembly and are always communicated before we start.
How do you calculate the volume of my items?
Cubic metres are calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height of each item.
As a guide: a standard sofa is approximately 1.5m³, a queen bed frame around 1.8m³, and a fridge around 0.9m³.
Use our free volume calculator to build your item list and get an instant estimate before booking.
What factors affect the final price?
Volume loaded into the truck, access conditions (stairs, lifts, distance from the truck), disassembly requirements, and distance beyond 30km from our Alexandria warehouse ($8/km additional).
What if there is more than I estimated?
When we reach your estimated volume, we pause and check in.
You decide whether to continue or stop. You are never charged beyond what you approve at each step.
Service
Do you accept drop-offs?
No. We do not currently offer a drop-off service. Our team comes to you and handles everything from your property.
Do you offer same-day service?
Yes, subject to availability. Use our volume calculator to see today’s available time slots.
Do I need to be home during the removal?
Yes. We require someone present on-site from start to finish to confirm the scope and approve any additional items before loading begins.
What happens to my furniture and usable items?
Items in good condition are assessed for rehoming through our charity and housing partner network across Sydney. What cannot be rehomed is recycled responsibly. We avoid landfill wherever possible.
What items can you not take?
We cannot collect asbestos, chemicals, paints, batteries, oils, tyres, car parts, explosives, or gas bottles. Contact us if you are unsure about a specific item.
Do you handle heavy items like fridges and sofas?
Yes. Every job includes a trained two-person team. You do not need to move anything beforehand.
