Trying to clear out your garage can be daunting, especially if you have plenty of things you’re not sure about throwing out – or how you might dispose of what you’ve designated as ‘definitely’ garage rubbish.
What Needs Special Disposal?
When searching through your garage, you’ll find some things you put there months ago with the intention of disposing of them, but never got around to doing it. Those old paint cans or petrol tin sitting around, or even that mouldy wood or a damp mattress. You need specialised rubbish removal in Sydney.
How Do I Clean Out my Garage?
Sometimes the most challenging step in cleaning your garage is taking the day or weekend to do it. Open your garage door and take a walk-through. Bring a clipboard and make a list. Then, sort it into what is and what isn’t able to go into your household waste.
Next up, you’ll want to haul out everything you can find that can go into your household waste and make a pile to dispose of in your household waste bin.
Then you’ll need to make a pile of everything small enough to be broken into boxes that we can dispose of with your hazardous waste pick-up, which means loose glass, nails, screws, and other smaller items.
Set everything into different parts of the garage with large items upfront to be disposed of first – meaning more oversized furniture, car parts, mattresses, bedframes, cabinets and more.
Set aside and mark hazardous materials such as petroleum, diesel, paints, or oils. We’ll deal with these separately (where possible) from the rest of our large garbage collection.
On our collection day, you’ll want to make sure all the rubbish is accessible to our team. It’s part of our job to remove your items from anywhere around your house, garden or garage, but remember, the closer these items are to the truck, the more cost effective your quote will be.
Make sure you separate any broken glass into boxes and mention this to our team. Safety first!
What Can I Not Put Into Household Waste?
There are multiple types of waste that you might think is OK to throw out with the rest of your household trash – but doing so could mean that your trash is rejected from pick-up altogether. To avoid this, do not throw out hazardous waste as part of your regular weekly household pickup.
Instead, Cheapest Load of Rubbish can help you dispose of hazardous waste with our specialist rubbish removal in Sydney. But what qualifies as hazardous waste that we can remove (where possible, always make sure to double check at time of booking)?
- Solvent-based paints.
- Petroleum & motor oils
- Pesticides

No matter what hazardous or oversized materials you have hiding in your garage, we can help with their disposal. We ask that you empty the oils or petroleum out of cars, lawnmowers, hedge trimmers, and other gardenwork equipment. Doing this will make our job safer and help keep your garage floor cleaner. You can use an old can to empty the petrol or oil and then cap it, and we’ll take it away.
