Rubbish Removal in Hawthorn
Hawthorn keeps Rob and the crew busy. The Victorian and Edwardian homes around Grace Park Estate and the Glenferrie Road precinct are some of the oldest in Melbourne’s inner east, and clearouts from those properties tend to be substantial, generations of furniture, built-in fittings and renovation debris from ongoing updates. Parking near Swinburne University and along the main Glenferrie strip takes a bit of planning, and the narrow rear laneways off Auburn Road need the right truck size, all things we have sorted out from doing the work here over the years. We are Prahran-based, usually about 15 minutes away, and you always deal with a reliable local team that turns up when it says it will.
Around the Glenferrie Road shops, the station and the university, it’s busy with foot traffic and paid or permit parking, so we plan where to put the truck. Burwood and Riversdale Roads run trams, and Power Street is a busy main road. The bigger period homes off the side streets often have long or narrow driveways. We work around the rush, grab a legal spot, and carry by hand so nothing gets knocked.
We handle the full range of household, office and commercial rubbish in Hawthorn: furniture, whitegoods, mattresses, e-waste, renovation rubble, garage clear-outs and deceased estate clearances. We do all the lifting and loading, leave the area swept, and sort loads for recycling wherever possible. No skips to organise, no tip trips to arrange.
Since 2008 we have diverted over 320,000 kg from landfill through our Prahran-based recycling and donation partnerships. Metals, timber, e-waste and reusable items from every Hawthorn job are sorted and sent to the right facilities rather than to landfill.

Helen D
Robert and his team did a magnificent job clearing a crowded house and five crowded sheds. Not an inch spared in any of the truck loads! Robert is a total professional and a pleasure to deal with. Note – just had Robert and the team complete another rubbish removal. This time all the waste from bathroom renovations. Same excellent service from start to finish. Very pleased.

WTQA Treasurer
Robert’s service is excellent and he is a very professional and polite person. He found old photos and memorabilia when clearing out furniture from our vacant house and saved them for us, otherwise they would have been thrown out. I definitely recommend him.

Rob and his colleague were efficient, friendly and very reasonably priced against all other removal providers. He was prompt to quote, organise a day and removed the items I needed gone. Highly recommend It’s Done Rubbish Removal! Thanks Rob & Mooch for the help. Nabi
Rob runs It’s Done out of Prahran, about 10 minutes from Hawthorn, so you always deal with a local team that turns up when it says it will. (03) 9820 1927.
Hard Rubbish Collection in Hawthorn
City of Boroondara
Hawthorn falls under the City of Boroondara, which offers two free hard rubbish collections per household each financial year. Residents must book a collection through the council’s website or by phone; there is no annual kerbside hard waste pickup, so a booking is always required. The council collects items like furniture, whitegoods, mattresses and e-waste, but does not accept renovation materials, tyres or hazardous goods. Items should be placed on the nature strip no more than two days before the scheduled date. If your timeline is tight, your load is too large, or you have items the council will not take, It’s Done can be there when you call.
Can’t wait for the council collection?
Boroondara hard waste requires a booking and can take a few weeks to schedule. It’s Done removes rubbish in Hawthorn when you call, no booking window and no wait.
