We do the lifting
Loaded from where the items are
Rubbish removal is a labour-and-vehicle service. A Perth provider arrives with a trailer or truck sized to your load, lifts and loads the rubbish from where it sits, sweeps the pickup area and takes everything to a licensed transfer station. Also called junk removal or waste removal, it covers household rubbish, furniture, mattresses, whitegoods, green waste, office rubbish and full property clean-outs.
Unlike a council verge collection, a private booking happens on the day you choose and nothing has to be dragged to the kerb. Unlike a skip bin, you do not fill anything yourself and nothing stays on site.
Urgent Pro connects you with verified independent providers across the Perth metro area, from apartments in West Perth and Northbridge to family homes in the northern, southern and eastern suburbs. Your written quote is based on the volume, the waste type, how easy the rubbish is to reach and where it needs to go.
Collected on a rubbish removal job
Not collected, or booked separately
Moving furniture to a new address is a removalist job, not rubbish removal.
The size of the job sets the vehicle, the crew and the time on site, and that is what the price is built on.
One bulky item such as a couch, mattress, fridge or washing machine, picked up without waiting for a council date. This is the small job the $220 minimum rate covers.
A mixed pile of household, garden or office rubbish, quoted on the cubic metres it takes up or how much of a trailer or truck it fills. Most bookings are this kind of job.
A whole house, garage, shed, storage unit or office cleared in one visit, including rubbish left after moving house or at the end of a lease. Larger clean-outs may need a two-person crew or more than one load.
Most household, garden and commercial rubbish can go on one job. Choose a category to see what is commonly collected.
WA’s e-waste landfill ban, in force since 1 July 2024, applies to e-waste service providers, so electronics collected on a job go to an e-waste facility and carry a surcharge. Mattresses, fridges and air conditioners that need degassing, tyres, and building waste such as timber offcuts, plaster and tiles also cost more to dispose of. List them when you book. For a single old mattress, see your options for getting rid of a mattress.
From your first request to a cleared space, here is what to expect.
Send an item list, a few photos and the access details: stairs, lifts, parking and where the rubbish sits. You get a written, GST-inclusive quote based on volume, waste type and access.
On arrival your provider checks the access route, confirms which items go and which stay, then lifts and loads everything from the agreed pickup point and sweeps the area.
The load goes to a licensed transfer station, with items such as green waste, e-waste or scrap metal routed to the right facility. Payment follows completion, and missed items are covered by the 24-hour warranty.
Verified provider. Written scope. No surprises.
No. This is the main difference from a council verge collection. Your provider collects from the pickup point in your booking, whether that is the driveway, a garage, a backyard shed, a storage cage or a room upstairs. They do the heavy lifting and the loading.
Nothing has to sit on the verge waiting for a collection date. A pile next to the driveway loads quickly, while a load from a rear shed on a large block, or furniture down the stairs of a two-storey home, takes longer. Apartment buildings in West Perth and Northbridge usually mean a lift booking and a loading bay.
Carrying items out, stairs and long walks to the vehicle all add time on site, so they are quoted before the job is confirmed rather than added on the day.
| Where the rubbish is | Effect on your quote |
|---|---|
| Pile on the driveway or kerb | Base rate |
| Single-level garage | Base rate |
| Shed or detached structure | Small surcharge for the extra walk |
| Inside the house or unit | Surcharge for carry-out time |
| Up or down stairs | Surcharge per flight |
| More than 20m from the vehicle | Long-carry surcharge |
| Apartment or no truck parking | Variation may apply |
Mention side access, gate widths, lift bookings and strata rules when you book so the quote reflects the real access.
Same-day and next-day pickups are often possible in Perth, subject to provider availability and the size of the job. A single item or a small load is far easier to fit into the day than a whole-house clean-out.
If you need the rubbish gone urgently, for example before a final inspection or a settlement, say so when you request your quote. The quote is still confirmed in writing before anything is loaded.
Same-day collection is never guaranteed. Your provider confirms the earliest realistic time.
Rubbish removal through Urgent Pro starts from $220 including GST. That minimum covers a small job in standard conditions: one large household item or a very small partial trailer load, one provider, standard metro access, up to 45 minutes on site and general waste disposal.
Larger jobs are priced on volume, measured in cubic metres or by how much of a trailer or truck the load fills, then adjusted for the type of waste, its weight, how hard it is to reach and the labour involved. Scope and price are confirmed in a written quote before loading starts.
| Load size | Typical job | Effect on price |
|---|---|---|
| Single item | One couch, mattress or fridge | Minimum rate from $220 |
| Quarter trailer | A few bulky items or a small pile | Slight premium |
| Half trailer | A garage corner or room of clutter | Premium |
| Full trailer | A larger mixed household load | Higher premium |
| Full truck | A big clean-out or several rooms | Substantially higher |
| Several truck loads | A whole-house clear-out | Quoted on the full scope |
All prices are GST-inclusive. Payment is collected by Urgent Pro as authorised agent on behalf of your service provider, and your tax invoice shows your provider’s name and ABN. If there is more rubbish on the day than you declared, your provider stops loading and we contact you before any extra charge applies. See how price variations are approved.
Households in Perth usually weigh up three options. The right one depends on how soon the rubbish has to go, how much there is, whether there is room for a bin and who does the lifting.
| Rubbish removal service | Skip bin hire | |
|---|---|---|
| Who loads it | Your provider lifts and loads | You fill the bin yourself |
| How long it stays | Gone on the day of the job | On site for the hire period |
| Space needed | Access to the items and room to park | A flat spot, or a council permit if it sits on the street |
| What you pay for | Volume removed, waste type, access and labour | Bin size and hire period, filled or not |
| Best suited to | Bulky items, apartments and clean-outs | Renovations where waste builds up over days |
Which option costs less depends on the load, the access, the waste type and how much lifting is involved. A council bulk verge collection is the third option, with set rules on what goes out and how much. Our guide to how council verge collections work explains those rules, and comparing skip hire with a collection service compares the other two.
Some materials need a licensed specialist and cannot go on a general rubbish removal job. Everything we can take goes to a licensed facility.
Asbestos needs a licensed asbestos removalist. Unsure about an item? Send a photo when you book and your provider will confirm the right pathway.
General waste goes to a licensed transfer station and is disposed of under Western Australia waste rules. E-waste goes to an e-waste facility under WA’s landfill ban.
Some items go to specialist facilities: green waste to green-waste processing, e-waste to an e-waste facility, fridges and air conditioners for degassing, and scrap metal to a metal recycler. If you want recyclables kept separate from the rest of the load, ask at booking, because sorting is quoted as an extra. We do not promise a recycling percentage.
Need proof of disposal for a landlord, property manager or body corporate? Ask for a receipt or photo evidence of disposal when you book.
Most bookings come from households, but the service suits anyone with rubbish too big, too heavy or too much for a wheelie bin. Residential and commercial jobs follow the same process: a written scope, a verified provider and licensed disposal.
In Perth that includes tenants clearing a rental before the vacate clean, landlords and property managers between tenancies, households clearing a shed or garage on a larger suburban block, and offices in the CBD and West Perth clearing old furniture and equipment.
Rubbish removal is available across the Perth metro area, from Joondalup in the north to Rockingham in the south and from Fremantle and the coast to Midland in the east. That covers the CBD and inner suburbs, the northern, southern, eastern and western suburbs, and local providers collecting from Scarborough, Wanneroo, Morley, Belmont, Victoria Park and Canning Vale. Cannington has its own Cannington rubbish removal page.
Inner-city apartment buildings often need a lift booking and a loading bay, while larger suburban blocks may have long side access to a rear shed. Share those details when you book so the vehicle and crew arrive ready to load.
Areas We Cover

Not listed? We likely cover your area, get in touch to confirm.
Your rubbish is collected by an independent local operator, not by Urgent Pro. Before any provider is activated on our platform, we verify:
Your provider operates their own business and carries their own insurance. Urgent Pro acts as their booking agent only.
Your Booking Confirmation will include your provider’s name and ABN.
Mark anything you are keeping before loading starts. Your provider confirms the list with you on arrival, because once rubbish reaches the transfer station it cannot be recovered.
Rubbish removal is often one part of a bigger move. If you are leaving a rental, clearing the property first means your vacate clean in Perth can be done on an empty home, with nothing left behind for the final inspection. Our guide to clearing out before the final inspection sets out what to remove and when.

Rubbish removal starts from $220 including GST for a small job, such as one bulky item or a very small partial trailer load with easy access. Larger loads, mattresses, whitegoods, e-waste, stairs, long carries and a two-person crew increase the price. You receive a written quote before any loading starts.
Volume is the main factor, measured in cubic metres or by how much of a trailer or truck the load fills. The quote is then adjusted for the waste type, heavy materials, access, stairs and labour. Photos of every pile give the most accurate quote.
Yes. A single-item pickup is the smallest rubbish removal job and is charged at the minimum rate. Mattresses and fridges can carry a disposal surcharge because the receiving facility charges more to take them.
No. Your provider collects from the pickup point in your booking, including inside the house, the garage, a shed or a storage cage, and does the lifting and loading. Carry-out time and stairs are included in your quote.
Verge collections run on your council’s schedule, with limits on which items go out and how much, and everything has to sit on the verge. A private rubbish removal booking happens on a day you choose, your provider collects from inside or behind the property, and items your council excludes can often be taken. Check your own council’s rules if you want to compare.
Yes. Stair carries from two-storey homes and walk-up units are quoted per flight, and apartment pickups are common in West Perth, Northbridge and the CBD. Tell us about lift bookings, loading bays, parking and strata rules when you book. Restricted truck access can change the quote, so it is confirmed in writing first.
Yes. Fridges, freezers, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers and ovens are collected. Fridges, freezers and air conditioners carry a surcharge because the refrigerant has to be removed before disposal.
Yes. Branches, prunings, hedge and lawn clippings, leaves and general garden clean-up waste are collected. Green waste often costs less to dispose of than general rubbish because it can go to a green-waste facility.
Yes, for typical household renovation waste such as timber offcuts, plasterboard, tiles, old flooring and cabinetry. Building waste costs more to dispose of, so it is quoted with a surcharge. Declare bricks, concrete or other heavy materials at booking so your provider can confirm the load. Anything that may contain asbestos cannot be collected.
Often, yes, subject to provider availability and the size of the job. Smaller loads are easier to fit in at short notice than whole-house clean-outs. Request your quote early in the day and include photos and access details for the best chance of a same-day pickup in Perth.
It depends on the job. Rubbish removal includes the lifting and clears everything on the day, which suits bulky items, apartments and clean-outs. A skip bin suits renovations where waste builds up over several days and you are happy to load it yourself. Which costs less depends on the load, the access and the waste type.
Asbestos or anything suspected to contain it, paint, solvents, chemicals, gas bottles, fuels, batteries beyond household quantities, sharps, medical waste, ammunition and explosives. These need a licensed specialist or a council drop-off point.
General waste goes to a licensed transfer station. Under WA’s e-waste landfill ban, e-waste collected by service providers goes to an e-waste facility, not landfill. Green waste, fridges and scrap metal are also taken to the facilities that handle them, and separating recyclables can be added at booking. You can ask for a receipt or photo evidence of disposal. For background, read what the e-waste rules cover in each state.
Yes. Offices, shops and warehouses book rubbish removal for old furniture, office equipment, obsolete stock, packaging waste and full clean-outs. The process is the same as a household booking: a written quote, a verified provider and licensed disposal, with a tax invoice showing the provider’s name and ABN.
