Melbourne moving house clearouts
Moving house rubbish removal across Melbourne, cleared before you hand back the keys
Moving house rubbish removal is the collection and responsible disposal of everything at your old address that will not be coming with you to Melbourne. It’s Done is a Prahran-based, family-run crew that specialises in clearing the things left behind during a move: the furniture too tired to shift, the appliances the new place won’t need, the garage stacked high with years of accumulated clutter, and the mountain of flattened boxes and packing material once everything is packed.
We work around your moving schedule, whether you need a pre-move declutter weeks before the removalists arrive, a concurrent sweep while the truck is being loaded, or a post-move cleanup once the last boxes have gone. We carry everything out ourselves, load it, and sweep up, so you are never left wrestling awkward items through doorways or making tip runs in a hire van.
Pricing is by the volume we remove, not by the hour, so you get a fixed upfront quote before we start and pay the same figure when we finish. There are no hidden weighbridge fees and whatever can be donated or recycled is kept out of landfill.
What we take
Moving house clearouts cover almost everything that won’t make the trip. Common items we remove:
How moving house rubbish removal works
Three steps from first call to a clean, empty property, timed around your move.
-
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 a fixed, upfront price, usually within a couple of hours, so you know the cost well before moving day. Tell us your moving date and we will find a time that fits around your removalists and settlement or lease-end deadline.
-
We arrive at a time that suits you, with the truck and crew to handle the whole job. Our team does all the lifting, carrying and loading from inside the house, garage or shed, whether the removalists have already left or are still loading the truck next door. There is nothing for you to move to the kerb.
-
Once everything is loaded we sweep the cleared areas so the property is left clean and ready for the agent, landlord or new owner. Back at base we sort the load, donating reusable furniture to charity partners and recycling metals, cardboard and e-waste before the rest is disposed of responsibly. You pay the price we quoted, nothing more.
Clearing everything that won’t make the move
When you are moving house, the rubbish removal problem is rarely the boxes you are taking with you. It is everything else: the sofa that is falling apart, the fridge the new place already has, the decades of accumulated garage tools and sporting equipment, and the wave of flattened cardboard and bubble wrap that appears once everything is packed. A moving house clearance is built specifically for that category of things.
We can time the visit to fit any point in the process. Some customers book a pre-move declutter a few weeks out, clearing non-essentials before the packing even starts. Others prefer a sweep on the day the removalists arrive, taking what is left after the truck is loaded. We can also do a moving house cleanup once the last thing has gone, giving the property a final pass before settlement, handover or the end of a lease. A typical moving house clearance covers:
- Old or broken furniture: sofas, beds, mattresses, wardrobes and tables that will not come to the new address
- Whitegoods and appliances: fridges, washing machines, dryers and dishwashers that are surplus to requirements at the new place
- Garage and shed contents: tools, bikes, shelving, boxes and general clutter built up over years of living in the property
- Packing waste and loose rubbish: flattened cardboard, bubble wrap, bags of odds and ends, and anything else left behind after the truck leaves
Settlement and end-of-lease dates are firm deadlines and we treat them that way. If you are working to a specific date, tell us when you call and we will make sure the booking is confirmed well ahead of time. We also work comfortably alongside removalists during the move, as the two jobs do not overlap.

Common questions
You deal directly with Rob and his team from first contact to job completion. No call centres, no middlemen. Send a few photos or call (03) 9820 1927 for a fixed, upfront quote before we start, with no obligation to book.
Rob calls back within 2 business hours and we schedule the job around your moving date. Give us a heads-up when you know your moving date and we will hold a slot that fits around your removalists and your settlement or end-of-lease deadline. We work Mon–Fri 8am–5pm and weekends by appointment.
Anything at the old address that will not be coming to the new one: old or surplus furniture, whitegoods and appliances, garage and shed clutter, tools and sporting equipment, and all the flattened cardboard, bubble wrap and packing material that builds up once everything is boxed. If it is not hazardous we can almost certainly remove it.
We cannot accept asbestos, hazardous chemicals or tyres. For almost everything else left behind after a move, just ask and we will let you know when you call.
We are Prahran-based and cover inner south and east Melbourne, including South Yarra, Toorak, St Kilda, Hawthorn, Richmond, Armadale and surrounding suburbs. See our service areas page for the full list.
Yes, we are comfortable working alongside a removalist crew on the moving day. Our job covers the things they are not taking, so the two teams do not overlap. You do not need to be on site for the whole visit, as long as we can access the areas that need clearing. We collect from inside the house, garage and shed, so nothing needs to be dragged to the kerb.
We divert over 35,000kg from landfill each year. Reusable furniture goes to charity partners and we separate cardboard, metals and e-waste for recycling before the remainder is disposed of responsibly. A moving house cleanup generates a lot of cardboard and good-condition furniture, so a meaningful portion of most loads stays out of landfill.
Yes. It’s Done carries public liability insurance on every job, with the certificate available on request. We have been operating since 2008 and our crew is experienced at moving bulky items through tight hallways, up and down stairs and through doorways without damage. Your floors and walls are treated with care from the first item to the last.
