Klaus was great!! Would highly recommend.

Green waste disposal

$200

Legend, he was fantastic and went above and beyond. There ended up being around double the cubic metres of trash that I advertised and he ended up at mine from 10-6:30, with a bunch of extra costs and was still fantastic and kind through the whole process. Gave tips for my other chores and didn’t mind the rain 10/10

Why hire a waste collection & disposal expert through Airtasker?

Getting rid of waste takes more than simply chucking everything in the same bin. Careless disposal can harm the environment and even make people sick. For instance, batteries or leftover cleaners can contaminate the soil and seep into groundwater. Decomposing organic waste can attract pests and rodents, which can later spread diseases. Not only that—tossing reusable items means you're wasting valuable resources!

If your home or office needs a clean-out and you don’t have time to sort through the rubbish, hiring a proper waste collection and disposal service is the way to go. However, finding reliable and affordable waste disposal near you can be a challenge. Use Airtasker to connect with top-rated specialists effortlessly! By booking a service on the platform, you can vet potential hires through a transparent rating system, compare quotes from qualified Taskers, and secure same-day waste collection and disposal services based on availability.

Top Waste Collection & Disposal related questions

Taskers are equipped to tackle recyclable materials such as paper, cardboard, glass, and metal. They can also manage bulky waste items such as tyres, carpets, and large household items.

Your Tasker can handle anything from small amounts of waste, like a single bag of food scraps, to larger loads that require a ute for hauling. Provide these specifics in your Airtasker listing to hire waste collectors with the appropriate vehicles and equipment for the job.

Check their experience in handling construction debris, which can be verified through their past task history and customer reviews. Look for Taskers with the necessary equipment, such as trucks or utes, that are suitable for transporting bulky materials like concrete or bricks. Also, make sure that Taskers understand local regulations and disposal requirements for construction waste.

You can typically book a waste collection and disposal service within minutes, depending on the availability of qualified Taskers. You can even schedule same-day collection.

Waste collection specialists typically take waste to recycling facilities, landfills, or incineration plants. Some types of waste, like food waste and garden waste, can be processed into compost. There are also specific facilities for e-waste. The destination depends on the type of waste being collected. 

Typically, furniture removal is booked as a separate service, which you can also find on Airtasker. However, you may request a custom service from your waste collection specialist to include furniture removal if they can accommodate it. 

Unfortunately, no. Disposing of hazardous waste such as asbestos, chemicals, gases, pesticides, and paint is typically restricted to authorities in many countries. These substances pose serious threats to public health and the environment. Some are highly reactive and can even cause fires, explosions, or corrosion of metals. For safe and proper disposal, contact a hazardous waste processing facility specialising in these materials.

Suggested reads about Waste Collection & Disposal

What do waste collection & disposal services include?

Waste poses significant sanitation problems. Aside from unpleasant smells and unsightly clutter, it can lead to serious health issues if left unchecked. By using Airtasker, affordable and reliable waste collection services are within arm’s reach. Connect with specialists in household, garden, or even building waste disposal near you who can help you safely and quickly dispose of the rubbish you’ve accumulated.


Learn more about the different services you can request:


Household waste collection

Households generate lots of rubbish from day-to-day living. Keep your home tidy and well-maintained with regular household waste disposal services. Waste collectors can get rid of general waste like plastic packaging, old car tyres, broken furniture, old clothing, and worn-out household items. They can also collect recyclables such as paper, cardboard, glass bottles, and metal cans. 


If you need help dealing with old furniture, mattresses, and appliances like refrigerators and washing machines, you can find proper removalists who specialise in these disposals. 


Garden waste collection

Book garden waste disposal near you if you need help tidying your yard or cleaning up after a storm. Waste collectors can handle green waste like grass clippings, leaves, hedge trimmings, weeds, and dead plants. They can also collect large debris, including tree stumps, logs, and large branches. These services help prevent pest infestations, making your outdoor areas healthier. 


While garden waste is typically brought to the dump for sorting and disposal, you can opt for a more eco-friendly alternative by enlisting Taskers who can process your waste into compost or mulch.


Food waste disposal

Improper food disposal of organic waste from kitchens doesn’t only cause odour and pest problems. It can also create harmful greenhouse gases. Avoid these issues by hiring disposal experts to bring your waste to a local food recycling centre. They can collect kitchen scraps like vegetable peelings and fruit scraps, and take care of leftovers like expired food, uneaten meals, and spoiled groceries. They can also collect compostable materials like eggshells, tea bags, and coffee grounds to ensure proper repurposing. 


Commercial waste collection

Waste can pile up fast in offices, retail stores, and other commercial establishments. To prevent a cluttered workplace, connect with commercial waste collection service providers who can dispose of your rubbish. This includes office waste such as paper, cardboard, and packaging materials. They can also safely dispose of electronic waste such as computers, printers, and other devices. Make the most of your newly decluttered office by booking a separate cleaning service through Airtasker.


Building waste disposal

If you’ve recently undertaken a construction or renovation project, book a building waste disposal near you to help you clear out your space much faster. This service includes removing debris such as concrete, bricks, wood, and metal scraps. Taskers ensure that construction sites are kept clean and safe and that building materials are disposed of in compliance with environmental regulations.
