Rubbish Removal in South Melbourne
We do a lot of rubbish removal in South Melbourne, and the variety of jobs here reflects the mix of the suburb. The terrace houses and converted warehouses in the streets around the South Melbourne Market have the kind of long-term storage that builds up over decades, and cleared properties near the Market often need the work done early to avoid the Saturday crowd. The Clarendon Street commercial strip generates steady fit-out waste when tenancies change over. And the mid-century apartment blocks and newer infill buildings add apartment turnovers to the mix. Rob is based in Prahran, about 10 minutes away, so you always deal with a local team that turns up when it says it will.
Clarendon Street is a busy tram-and-traffic spine with clearways and not much room to stop. The market precinct around Cecil and Coventry Streets gets clogged with delivery and shopper traffic, and City Road is a high-volume arterial. The newer towers may need lift and loading-dock bookings, and lots of the heritage side streets are narrow with permit parking. We sort the parking and dock times before we arrive, then carry and load by hand.
We handle the full range of household, office and commercial rubbish in South Melbourne: furniture, whitegoods, mattresses, e-waste, renovation rubble, garage clear-outs and deceased estate cleanups. We lift and load everything ourselves, sweep up on the way out, and sort for recycling wherever possible. No skips, no trip to the tip.
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 furniture from South Melbourne clearouts are sorted and directed to the right facilities rather than to landfill.

I contacted Rob first thing this morning about removing a bed and base. He was so helpful and booked in to collect the bed and some other rubbish. No fuss and extremely helpful.

Shay Farrall
Robert and his team completed some rubbish removal at a rental property I manage. He arrived on time (the next day!), completed all rubbish removal and charged a reasonable amount. He was very professional and offered a great service 🙂

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

Hard Rubbish Collection in South Melbourne
City of Port Phillip
South Melbourne falls under the City of Port Phillip, which provides four free hard waste collections per year for houses and six free collections annually for apartment buildings and units. Residents book online and select from available pick-up dates for their area. Pick-up days are typically the same as your regular bin collection day. Items should be sorted into separate piles for hard waste, metal or appliances, and e-waste. Each booking is capped at 2 cubic metres of hard waste. If you need a faster turnaround, your load is bigger than the cap, or your items are outside the council list, It’s Done can clear South Melbourne rubbish when you call.
Can’t wait for the council collection?
Port Phillip hard waste bookings run on a schedule tied to your bin day, and available slots are often weeks out. It’s Done clears South Melbourne rubbish when you call, with no waiting and no cap on load size.
