REMOVALS MELBOURNE
Construction debris, household junk, green waste, or hard rubbish — DemRev connects you with reliable removal teams across Melbourne who get rid of it properly, fast.
TYPES OF WASTE WE HANDLE
No matter what's cluttering your property, our removal partners have the trucks, the crew, and the know-how to clear it efficiently.
Construction & Demolition Waste
Bricks, concrete, timber, plasterboard, metal framing, roof tiles, and mixed building rubble. Whether it's from a renovation, knockdown, or new build, we sort and dispose of construction waste at licensed facilities with maximum recycling.
Household Junk & Hard Rubbish
Old furniture, mattresses, whitegoods, electronics, and general household clutter. Perfect for deceased estates, pre-sale clean-ups, end-of-lease clear-outs, or simply reclaiming your garage. We take everything your council collection won't.
Green Waste & Garden Removal
Tree branches, hedge trimmings, stumps, grass clippings, soil, and landscaping waste. Ideal after storm damage, property maintenance, or preparing your garden for a new landscape design. All green waste is composted or mulched.
Commercial & Industrial Waste
Office fit-out waste, shop strip-outs, warehouse clean-outs, and factory clear-ups. We handle bulk volumes with appropriate equipment — from mini skips to hook-lift bins and labour teams for hands-on loading.
Deceased Estate Clean-Ups
Sensitive, respectful clearing of entire properties. Our partners work carefully through every room, identifying items for donation, recycling, or disposal. We understand these situations require compassion alongside efficiency.
Skip Bin Hire
Need to load at your own pace? We connect you with skip bin providers offering 2m³ to 30m³ bins delivered to your door. Ideal for ongoing renovations, spring cleans, or projects where you need flexibility on timing.

Get Matched & Quoted
We match you with available removal teams in your area and provide competitive quotes. Most quotes are returned within 24 hours — often same-day for straightforward jobs.
Book & Remove
Choose your preferred team and schedule a time that suits. Many of our partners offer same-day or next-day service. The crew arrives, loads everything, and leaves your space clean.
Responsible Disposal
All waste is taken to licensed facilities where materials are sorted for recycling, donation, or proper disposal. You'll know your waste has been handled responsibly — not dumped illegally.
WHAT AFFECTS REMOVAL COSTS
Removal pricing depends on several factors. Here's what influences your quote so there are no surprises.
Volume of Waste
The biggest factor. A single ute-load of junk costs far less than a full truck-load of demolition rubble. We price by volume — usually measured in cubic metres.
Type of Material
Clean green waste is cheap to dispose of. Mixed construction waste costs more. Hazardous materials like asbestos require specialist handling and licensed disposal, adding to the cost.
Access & Location
Easy driveway access keeps costs down. Narrow lanes, stairs, upper floors, or inner-city sites with parking restrictions may require extra labour or smaller vehicles.
Labour Required
If the waste is already piled up and accessible, a single operator with a truck may suffice. Scattered waste across a property or inside a building requires a crew for loading.
Urgency
Same-day service is available for most areas but may carry a small premium. Planning a day or two ahead usually gets you the best price.
Tip Fees
Disposal facility charges vary by waste type and are passed through at cost. Melbourne landfill levies have increased significantly in recent years, which affects all removal pricing.

RESPONSIBLE DISPOSAL & RECYCLING
DemRev partners only work with EPA-licensed disposal facilities. We're committed to keeping waste out of landfill wherever possible. Concrete and bricks are crushed and reused as road base. Timber is chipped for mulch or biomass energy. Metals are sent to scrap recyclers. Green waste becomes compost. Reusable furniture and goods are donated to charities. On average, our removal partners recycle or divert over 70% of the waste they collect — significantly higher than the industry average.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can you do same-day removal?
In most cases, yes. If you contact us in the morning, we can often arrange a crew for the same day — subject to availability and your location within Melbourne. For larger jobs or specific scheduling needs, we recommend booking 2–3 days in advance.
How much does rubbish removal cost in Melbourne?
Costs depend on the volume and type of waste. A single-item pickup (e.g. an old couch or fridge) typically costs $80–$150. A standard ute-load runs $250–$400, and a full truck-load ranges from $400–$800+. For construction waste, demolition debris, or hazardous materials, pricing varies based on disposal requirements.

Do I need to sort my waste before collection?
No. Our team handles all sorting on-site. We separate recyclable materials from general waste and hazardous items to ensure responsible disposal. That said, if you’ve already separated items, it can speed up the collection process.
What can’t you remove?
We handle almost everything — furniture, appliances, green waste, construction debris, office equipment, and more. The main exceptions are hazardous chemicals, medical waste, and large quantities of liquid waste, which require specialist disposal. For asbestos materials, we coordinate with our licensed asbestos removal team.
Do I need to be home during collection?
Not necessarily. As long as the items are accessible — at the front of the property, in an unlocked garage, or in a location you’ve agreed with our team beforehand — we can complete the removal without you being present.
Is it cheaper than hiring a skip bin?
For one-off cleanouts, our removal service is usually comparable or cheaper than skip bin hire once you factor in delivery, hire period, pickup fees, and the time you spend loading it yourself. We do all the heavy lifting, load everything into our truck, and take it away in one visit. For larger ongoing projects, a skip bin may offer better value.
Do you remove construction and demolition waste?
Yes. We handle all types of construction waste including timber, plasterboard, concrete, bricks, tiles, metal, and general building debris. For sites with potential asbestos-containing materials, we coordinate with licensed removalists to ensure safe, compliant disposal. We can also provide ongoing waste management for active construction sites.
Can you do a full house cleanout?
Absolutely. Estate cleanouts, pre-sale cleanups, and hoarder property clearances are some of our most common jobs. We remove everything — furniture, appliances, clothing, general household items, shed contents, and garden waste. The property is left broom-clean and ready for sale, lease, or renovation.
What happens to the items you remove?
We prioritise recycling and responsible disposal. Usable furniture and appliances are donated where possible. Metals, timber, concrete, and cardboard are sent to recycling facilities. Only items that genuinely can’t be recycled or reused go to landfill. We can provide waste disposal certificates on request.
Do you service commercial properties?
Yes. We handle office fitout strip-outs, warehouse clearances, retail shop clearouts, and end-of-lease cleanups across Melbourne. Whether it’s a single office floor or an entire warehouse, we have the equipment and crew to handle commercial-scale removals efficiently.
