Taskers can pick up your items and transport them to the nearest charity or recycling centre, helping you quickly clear your space and make room for new changes.


Whether you need to clear out a home, office or other establishment, rubbish removal specialists have the expertise to handle any request. Here are some rubbish removal services you can book on Airtasker.


Household rubbish removal

From collecting large collect furniture like sofas and mattresses to simpler tasks such as disposing of large piles of scrap paper, removal specialists can handle any household waste or items you no longer need. If you require more than household clearance services, book cleaning services on Airtasker to take decluttering a step further. If you’re moving, you can also hire a man with a van to help you.


Building rubbish removal

If you are preparing a commercial area for renovation or need to egress or office relocation, get experts to handle building rubbish removal. Taskers can work on any task for your office clearance efforts, whether you need assistance emptying desk bins and shelves or collecting computers, printers and large furniture for donation or recycling. You can also book a cleaning service specifically for your office.


Garden rubbish removal

You can have them load grass clippings, leaves, dirt, branches, weeds and removed concrete into a ute, truck, or trailer.

Construction rubbish removal

If you need to clear out the area swiftly and thoroughly, hire Taskers to assist you with disposing of bricks, scrap metal and other types of building rubbish removal. With a construction rubbish removal expert, you can ensure the safe and proper disposal of debris and materials at the appropriate facility.


White goods removal

Removing white goods usually starts with Taskers uninstalling the items from their current location and preparing them for the actual removal. If you’re unaware, each appliance may require specific steps, making the process different for all. For example, washing machines need their tubs cleaned to remove residue, while refrigerators should be defrosted. Dishwashers need their water lines inspected.


If you only need individual items removed, such as your hot tub or fridge, book them as separate services instead. Otherwise, a general white goods removal expert can handle removal needs for multiple items.
