Junk Removal Townsville: Clear It Out With a Skip Bin
Junk removal in Townsville with a skip bin: one flat price, 7 days to load at your own pace, and a size guide from a single room to a whole property.
Junk removal in Townsville usually starts with a garage you can’t park in, a spare room full of broken furniture or a shed nobody has opened since the last wet season. A skip bin on the driveway turns that into a job you can finish on your own schedule. We drop the bin off, you fill it over the week, and we take the lot away. One flat price covers delivery, the hire period, collection and disposal.
How skip bin junk removal works
- Pick a size and book. Book online or call us, and tell us roughly what’s going in.
- We deliver to your driveway. We deliver Monday to Saturday, 7 am to 5 pm, and same-day delivery is often available.
- Load it at your own pace. A general waste skip comes with a 7-day hire, so you can clear the garage on Saturday and the spare room on Wednesday night.
- Call us when it’s full. We collect it and handle the disposal.
Payment is on delivery, by card with the driver or over the phone.
What size skip for your junk
One cubic metre holds about one 6×4 trailer load. These are general waste prices on a 7-day hire.
| Job | Suggested size | Price |
|---|---|---|
| A single room or a garage tidy-up | 2m³ | $260 ex GST |
| A packed garage or a small shed | 3m³ | $280 ex GST |
| A full house declutter | 4m³ | $330 ex GST |
| House plus garage and shed, or a deceased estate | 6m³ | $380 ex GST |
| Whole-property clear-out | 8m³ | $420 ex GST |
The 4m³ is our most popular bin for household junk. If you’re torn between two sizes, go for the larger one, because a second bin costs more than stepping up a size. Each skip has a walk-in door, so you can wheel heavy items in rather than lifting them over the side. You can compare every bin in 3D on the skip bin sizes and prices page.
What junk can go in
A general waste skip takes mixed household and light commercial junk, all in together with no sorting:
- Old lounges, tables, bookcases and broken flat-pack furniture
- White goods and appliances
- Bikes, toys, old outdoor settings and shade sails
- Boxes, cardboard, packaging and clothes too worn to donate
- Timber, old shelving, flooring and fittings
- Garden waste, if it’s mixed in with the rest
Mattresses can go in but attract a charge on top of the hire, so mention them when you book. Fill to the rim only, because an overfilled bin can’t be legally transported.
Paint, chemicals, gas bottles, batteries, tyres and asbestos have to go elsewhere. Our guide to what you can’t put in a skip bin in Townsville explains where to take each of them.
If the clean-up is mostly from the garden, a green waste skip is cheaper, from $110 ex GST for a 2m³ on a 4-day hire. It takes clean garden material only.
Jobs a skip suits
- Garage and shed clean-outs. Years of broken tools, timber offcuts and furniture nobody wants.
- Decluttering before a sale. Clear the house before the photos and open homes.
- Deceased estates. A 7-day hire gives the family time to go through belongings properly before anything is thrown out.
- End of lease and moving house. Our moving house rubbish removal guide covers timing the bin around moving day.
- Small renovations. Old cabinets, tiles and fittings, with a Concrete & Tiles skip for heavy single-material loads.
