Household rubbish removal across Melbourne, done in one visit

Household rubbish removal is the collection and responsible disposal of everyday domestic waste, from a single broken couch to the entire contents of a home. It’s Done is a Prahran-based, family-run crew that clears household rubbish across Melbourne’s inner south and east, and most jobs are finished in a single visit.

We take the heavy, awkward and bulky things most people can’t fit in a car or leave out for a council collection: lounges and mattresses, fridges and washing machines, wardrobes, garage clutter and box after box of general rubbish. You point, we carry it out, load it and sweep up, so you are never left lifting anything or chasing a trailer.

Because we price by the volume we remove rather than by the hour, you get an upfront quote before we start and pay the same figure at the end. There are no tip runs to manage, no hidden weighbridge fees, and whatever can be donated or recycled is kept out of landfill.

How household rubbish removal works

Three steps from first call to a clean home, with no surprises.

  1. Call (03) 9820 1927 or send the online form with a few photos of what needs to go. Rob reviews the load and gives you an upfront, no-obligation price, usually within a couple of hours, so you know the cost before anyone turns up.

  2. We arrive at a time that suits you, with the truck and the crew to do the whole job. Our team does all the lifting, carrying and loading, whether the items are in the lounge, up a flight of stairs, in the garage or out in the yard.

  3. Once everything is loaded we sweep the area so it is left clean. Back at base we sort the load, donating reusable furniture to charity partners and recycling metals, timber and e-waste before the rest is disposed of responsibly. You pay the price we quoted, nothing more.

From one bulky item to a full house clearout

Most household jobs sit somewhere between a single hard-rubbish pickup and a complete house clearance, and we are set up for both. A single-item collection might be one old mattress or a dead fridge wheeled out from a unit. A full clearout could be an entire three-bedroom home ahead of a sale, a downsize or an estate, cleared room by room in a single day.

Whatever the size, the process is the same and there is nothing for you to prepare. You do not need to bag things up, drag them to the kerb or be home for the whole job, as long as we can get access. A typical household clearout includes:

  • Lounge and bedroom furniture: sofas, beds, mattresses, wardrobes, desks and tables
  • Whitegoods and appliances: fridges, freezers, washing machines, dryers and dishwashers
  • Garage, shed and yard clutter: tools, bikes, boxes and old timber
  • General household rubbish: bagged waste, e-waste, kitchenware and bric-a-brac

If you are clearing a home after a death in the family, or a tenant has left a property full of belongings, mention it when you call. We handle those jobs with extra care and can work to a real-estate or settlement deadline.
