Household Rubbish Removal in Melbourne: What Can and Can’t Go in the Truck
When it comes to household rubbish removal Melbourne, the process is much smoother when you know exactly what can be loaded into the truck — and what needs special handling. Whether you’re clearing space for a renovation, preparing for a move, or simply doing a seasonal declutter, understanding these guidelines will save time, reduce stress, and keep everything safe.
At The Junk Crew, we specialise in residential rubbish removal Melbourne, and we’ve created this guide to help you prepare for your next collection.
What Can Go in the Truck
1. Furniture
Bulky furniture items like couches, armchairs, wardrobes, bed frames, and tables are some of the most common things we collect. They’re perfect candidates for household rubbish removal as they’re non-hazardous and easy for our team to transport.
2. Whitegoods & Appliances
Fridges, washing machines, dryers, ovens, and microwaves can all be picked up. Many of these items can be dismantled and recycled, reducing waste in landfills.
3. Electronics & E-Waste
Computers, televisions, printers, and other e-waste items are accepted. These are sent for recycling through approved channels to ensure safe disposal.
4. General Household Junk
Boxes of old clothes, broken décor, outdated kitchenware, toys, and other non-dangerous household clutter are welcome in our trucks.
5. Outdoor Items
Broken BBQs, outdoor furniture, tools, and garden waste (within reason) can also be collected.
What Can’t Go in the Truck
1. Hazardous Chemicals
Paints, oils, pesticides, and cleaning chemicals must be handled by specialised hazardous waste services.
2. Asbestos
Due to serious health risks, asbestos removal requires licensed professionals and cannot be included in standard residential rubbish removal.
3. Medical Waste
Items such as syringes, unused medicines, or any biological waste must be disposed of via authorised medical waste channels.
4. Gas Bottles & Fuel Containers
These can pose explosion risks and must be taken to approved drop-off points.
Tips for a Smooth Rubbish Removal Experience
● Separate accepted items from restricted ones before your collection day.
● Ask about recycling or donation options for items in good condition.
● Book ahead during peak moving or renovation seasons to secure your preferred date.
