What types of household rubbish can be removed by a professional rubbish removal service?
Did you know that understanding the types of household rubbish you have at your home can greatly impact how you dispose of them?
It’s easy for your home to quickly accumulate various forms of waste. From kitchen scraps to old electronics, the diversity and amount of household junk and rubbish we accumulate can be staggering. Managing all this waste efficiently is not just a responsibility – it’s vital for your ongoing health, hygiene and happiness.
If you’re looking to let go of unwanted items so you can thrive in a newfound space, knowing what kind of rubbish you’re dealing with can make all the difference in choosing the right disposal method.
Whether you’re clearing out your yard, spring cleaning your home, renovating your space or dealing with a deceased estate, let’s take a closer look at the different types of household rubbish and the fastest and most effective way to dispose of it.
Furniture removal
Faster than the council cleanup, cheaper than taking items to the tip and easier than loading up a skip bin, professional rubbish removal services will remove all of your furniture items, including:
- Bookcases
- Lounges, sofas and couches
- Outdoor furniture
- Sideboards
- Tables and chairs
- Unwanted furniture
- Wardrobes
With Rov’s Rubbish Removal, wherever possible, your old and unwanted furniture will be recycled or donated to charities to minimise the environmental impact of adding to landfill.
Mattress and bed removal
Old and unwanted mattresses take up a lot of space and can quickly become mouldy and full of mites. However, disposing of mattresses can prove to be a real challenge.
Because mattresses are heavy and hard to move you can’t just pop them into your recycling bin! And while council cleanups will allow mattresses as part of their free collection services, you’ll still need to find somewhere to store your old mattress while you wait for your annual collection.
Some skip bins will allow mattresses, however many won’t allow memory foam mattresses and they will also charge you an extra fee for the mattresses they do allow you to place in your skip bin.
Taking your mattress to your local tip is not without its challenges, either. Not only will you need a ute or a trailer to transport unwanted mattresses to your local tip, most of the local tips also charge for mattress disposal too!
At Rov’s Rubbish Removal we provide a hassle-free, same day mattress removal service for all kinds of mattresses and bedding that don’t require you to lift a finger.
The mattresses, beds and bedding we remove include:
- Adjustable bed mattresses
- Air beds
- Bed frames
- Ensemble bed bases
- Futon beds
- Innerspring mattresses
- Latex mattresses
- Memory foam mattresses
- Water beds
White goods and scrap metal removal
Most major household appliances fall into the category of white goods that are usually large and bulky in size, making them very difficult to transport and to dispose of on your own. Other household items that contain metal cannot be disposed of safely in your kerbside council bin.
If you decide to take it to the local tip or hire a skip bin you’ll have to do all the heavy lifting of potentially sharp and heavy scrap metal or white goods yourself – make sure your tetanus shot is up to date!
At Rovs Rubbish Removal we take care of the loading and disposing of all the scrap metal and broken white goods that are cluttering your property, such as:
- Air conditioners
- Bicycles
- Clothes dryers
- Computers
- Dishwashers
- Fire pits
- Freezers
- Microwaves
- Lawn mowers
- Ovens
- Refrigerators
- Scrap metal, including brass, copper, aluminium, stainless steel
- Sinks
- Washing machines
- Water heaters.
Wherever possible, we recycle your unwanted and broken white goods and your scrap metal.
Small electrical, household appliances and e-waste removal
As technology rapidly evolves, unwanted and broken small electrical and household appliances are often cheaper to replace than to fix. So what’s the best way to get rid of these items?
Many small electrical and household appliances are made from a mix of plastic, electrical components and metal, making them hard to recycle. Due to their size, it’s really not worth a trip to the tip or hiring a skip bin for their disposal and besides, some E-waste contains toxic components that can harm both human health and the environment if not handled correctly.
Common types of small electrical, household appliances and e-waste we remove include:
- Alarm clocks
- Cameras
- DVD players
- E-readers
- Fans
- Fax machines
- Gaming consoles and controllers
- Hairdryers
- Heaters
- Kettles
- Landline telephones
- Office equipment
- RadiosToasters
Glass removal
Unwanted glass can be very tricky to dispose of as light bulbs, mirrors, drinking glasses, the glass inside white goods and furniture, as well as the plate glass used for windows, glass doors, transparent walls and windshields all have a different composition to the glass used to make bottles, so none of these types of glass can be put in the bottle glass recycling bin.
And if any of your unwanted glass breaks or becomes damaged, it can become a safety risk too!
At Rov’s Rubbish Removal we’ll safely and securely remove your unwanted glass, dispose of all glass as safely and sustainably as possible, recycling whatever glass we can. And you can rest assured our experienced team will not leave any dangerous shards of glass on your property.
Common types of glass we remove include:
- Annealed glass (used in tabletops, cabinet doors, etc, this glass breaks easily into sharp shards)
- Double glazed glass
- Drinking glasses
- Laminated glass
- Light globes
- Mirrors
- Tempered glass
- Window glass
Green waste removal
backyard makeover can very easily generate a vast amount of green waste, way too big to be disposed of in your green council bin. And while it can be disposed of at your local tip, you’ll need a ute or trailer to do this, you’ll need to load and unload it all yourself, as well as potentially making multiple trips to the tip.
Alternatively, if this waste sits on your property for any length of time, it not only is unsightly and prevents you from enjoying your outdoor space, it can quickly cause problems such as attracting unwanted insects and even animals, killing the lawn underneath and potentially becoming a fire hazard too.
Rov’s Rubbish Removal can help you with your green waste removal needs, removing any unwanted:
- Trees
- Stumps
- Logs
- Branches
- Shrubs
- Prunings
- Grass clippings
- Organic waste
We’ll ensure your green waste is correctly recycled to become compost and/or mulch.
