Quote response

Hire the skip, get the permit, fill it yourself over the weekend, pay the surcharge when half of it gets rejected as mixed load. Or call us, point at the pile, and watch it leave on a truck.

— David, owner

DIY rubbish removal eats whole weekends and isn't even cheaper

Skip bin hire, council permits if it’s on the verge, trailer hire, tip surcharges for mixed loads, your fuel and your time. By the time you’ve added it up you’ve spent more than a quote and lost the Saturday. We load, we drive, we sort. You don’t lift a finger.

Skip bins are slow and pricey

Delivery in two days, pickup in another four, surcharges if you mix loads. By the time it's gone you've waited a week.
Council pickups have rules

Set dates, set volumes, no green waste with general, nothing too heavy. Miss the rules and they leave it on the kerb.
Trailer hire and tip fees stack up

Trailer at $80, fuel, tip fees per cubic metre, mixed-load surcharge, your back at the end of it. Not cheap, not quick.
Sitting piles attract pests

Green waste rots, breeds mozzies, draws rats. Old furniture and palings hide spiders and possums. Better gone today.

Every kind of pile, load, and clean-out we'll clear

Single trailer to multi-truck. Backyard tidy or whole-house empty. Green waste only or mixed everything. Same crew, same gear, same finish standard.

Green waste removal

Branches, lawn clippings, hedge prunings, leaves, soil, turf, tree stumps. Loaded, carted, composted where possible.

Most-booked service

Garden clean-outs

Overgrown yards stripped back, mulch piles cleared, beds reset. Full transformation, not just a tidy-up.

End-to-end

Property tidy-ups

Pre-sale, post-tenant, between-occupancy. Outside and garage cleared so the place shows well or hands back clean.

Real estate ready

Post-tradie clean-up

Builders rubble, old fence palings, fence posts, bricks, tiles, pavers. We sort what's recyclable and cart the rest.

After the build

Deceased estate clears

Sensitive, discreet, fast. Whole-house clears for executors and family. Tip dockets and itemised invoice for the estate.

Discreet service

Charged by load

Pay for what leaves on the truck. Volume-based pricing means small jobs stay small. No minimum hire fee, no skip rental.

Cheaper than a skip

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I couldn’t be happier with the service from David’s Tree Lopping. Communication was excellent from start to finish — quick responses, clear explanations, and easy to deal with. The team was prompt, professional, and got the job done efficiently. Everything was left neat and tidy afterwards. Highly recommend David’s Tree Lopping to anyone needing reliable and professional tree services!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  David is knowledgeable and lovely to work with. He and his team provide a really professional service. We had compared quotes for this job with others and David provided a very competitive price. We had a tree cut down and lots of trees trimmed with all waste removed. The work was of a great standard. We will definitely be returning customers!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  What can I say, I made a call in the morning, Dave was there in the afternoon, assed the tree, quoted a price. 2 days later his team was onsite, job done in an hour or so, area cleaned up better than before they started. Invoice matched the quote. Dave and his boys are the most lovely down to earth lads you will meet and they all went out of their way to accommodate my needs. Dave and his team will be my first and only call for my next tree issue.

Looking for help with rubbish removal?

You’ll get honest advice, clear pricing, and no pushy sales talk. Just what you need, when you need it.

How much does rubbish removal cost in Wollongong?

Small loads (single trailer or 2 cubic metres) run $150 to $300. Mid loads (truck half-full, 3 to 5 cubic metres) $300 to $700. Full-truck or multi-load clean-outs $700 to $1,500-plus. All-in, including tip fees, sorting, and labour. No surprise charges.

Is it cheaper than hiring a skip bin?

For most jobs, yes. By the time you add skip hire, permits if it's on the verge, tip surcharges for mixed loads, and your weekend filling it, we're often cheaper and always faster. We load, we drive, we sort, you don't lift a finger.

What can you take?

Green waste, branches, leaves, soil, turf, garden rubbish, old fence palings, fence posts, kids' play gear, BBQs, mowers, general household junk, post-tradie rubble. If you're unsure, send a photo and we'll tell you up-front.

What can't you take?

Asbestos, paint and chemicals, gas bottles, fluorescent tubes, large white goods with refrigerants, tyres, and anything liquid. We can point you to the right place for those.

How fast can you turn up?

Same-day in most cases if you call before 10am. Otherwise next business day. Larger clean-outs (whole estates, multi-truck) we'll book within the week.

Do I need to be home?

Only if the rubbish is behind a locked gate. If we can see it from the kerb or get to it via side access, we can clear, photograph, and send the invoice when we're done.

Do you give tip receipts for council or insurance?

Yes. Tip dockets and our invoice are emailed through with the job. Useful for landlords, real estate, deceased estate, or insurance work.
