Rubbish Removal in Hobart
Some jobs need more than a bin. They need two people who’ll do the lifting, sort what can be recycled and drive it all away while you get on with your day.
That’s our Hobart rubbish removal service: a skip bin plus a Bins R Done crew, at a fixed price you’ll know before we arrive.
We clear homes, gardens, offices and job sites across greater Hobart. Call 1800 11 2467, tell us roughly what you’ve got, and we’ll tell you which option costs the least.

How Much Can the Crew Clear in That Time?
More than most people expect. Two labourers working for 40 minutes will empty a garage or a single cluttered room: boxes, broken furniture, bagged rubbish and the awkward bits you’ve been stepping around. That’s the 2m³ job.
Most Hobart house clear-outs land on the 4m³ option, with 75 minutes of loading. The 6m³ at 90 minutes covers a full declutter, a pre-sale clean-out or a small deceased estate.
The crew sorts as they load, pulling metal, timber and recyclables aside so less of your pile ends up as landfill. That’s better for the environment, and it also keeps the tip fees down, which is part of why the price can stay fixed.
What If the Job Is Bigger Than Expected?
It rarely is, because we size the bin and the time to match what you describe when you book. If the pile turns out larger on the day, the crew will tell you before they start and quote the extra then, not after the bin’s full.
What About Mattresses, Fridges and Other Single Items?
They’re all fine. A mattress, a fridge or a set of tyres among the load just attracts a small surcharge, listed in the What We Take section below.
Mention them when you book so the crew knows to plan for them.
Should You Load It Yourself or Have Us Load It?
This is the question most people searching for Hobart junk removal are really asking, so here’s the honest comparison. We offer both, so we have no reason to steer you one way or the other.
| Self-load skip bin | Bin plus our crew | |
|---|---|---|
| 4m³ price | $400 | $520 |
| Who lifts | You | Two labourers |
| Time | Up to 7 days to fill at your own pace | Done in about 75 minutes |
| Sorting | You stack it (we can sort for a small fee) | Sorted for recycling as it’s loaded |
| Best for | Jobs spread across a week, lighter waste, people who like doing it themselves | Heavy items, tight deadlines, anyone with a bad back or a busy weekend |
The gap is $120 on a 4m³ bin. For that you get two people, a sorted load and your Saturday back. On a bigger job that’s good value; on a small one you can clear in an hour, a self-load Hobart skip bin hire is the cheaper way to go.
Pick the self-load skip if the waste is light and bulky, you’ve got helpers, or the clean-out is happening in stages over several days.
Pick bin plus crew if there’s heavy or awkward furniture, you’re clearing a property before settlement or an end-of-lease date, or you simply don’t want to touch it.
Either way, the UNI Skip rule applies: you pay for the level you fill, not the level you guessed.
Taking It to the Tip Yourself
Plenty of Hobart locals weigh up the council option first, and sometimes it’s the right call. Here’s what you’re looking at.
The McRobies Gully Waste Management Centre in South Hobart (The Tip) is open weekdays 7.30 am to 4 pm and weekends 10 am to 4 pm and is EFTPOS only. Council also doesn’t offer hard rubbish vouchers.
When is the tip cheaper? If you own a trailer, the job fits in one or two loads, the waste is mostly one type (all green, all timber), or you’ve got a free morning. A single trailer of sorted green waste might cost you under $20 at the gate.
It’s not cheaper when you’re making multiple trips, mixed waste, heavy items you can’t lift alone, or anything that needs doing on a weekday when you’re at work. By the third trip, you’ve spent a day, paid three minimum charges and still have a trailer to clean. That’s usually the point where a $380 crew-and-bin job starts to look like the bargain.
We come in when you need Hobart hard rubbish collection or junk removal, as The City of Hobart doesn’t offer hard rubbish vouchers, so for anything bigger than a trailer load. That’s when Bins R Done is the simplest way to move it all in one go.
What We Take
Our rubbish collection Hobart crews handle:
- Household clutter, boxes and bagged rubbish
- Furniture, mattresses, white goods and appliances
- Garden and green waste, tree cuttings and lawn clippings
- Renovation and DIY debris, old fixtures and fittings
- Small demolition waste, timber and plasterboard
- Garage, shed and under-house clear-outs
- End-of-lease and pre-sale clean-outs
- Office, shop and retail clear-outs
- General mixed waste
Think of it as a private rubbish collection that Hobart households can book any week of the year, without waiting on council dates.
Mattress removal in Hobart
Mattresses and bases go in with the rest of your load for $30 each. Tell us when you book, and we’ll handle the lifting.
Concrete removal in Hobart
Concrete, bricks, pavers and soil are priced as clean fill, which is cheaper than mixed waste when kept separate. Because of transport weight limits, heavy material is capped at the 3m³ level, and a clean fill-only bin is $380 before labour.
Mixing concrete through general rubbish pushes the whole load into a higher tip rate, so keep it apart if you can.
Other surcharge items
Fridges and freezers $40, car tyres $30, truck tyres $50, car batteries $15.
What we can’t take. Asbestos, harmful chemicals and containers of liquids or oils. For those, council runs free hazardous waste drop-off days through TasWaste South.
Hobart Green Waste Removal
Our Hobart green waste removal service sends the crew to do the dragging and loading, so a weekend’s worth of pruning is gone in an hour.
We take hedge trimmings, branches, prunings, lawn clippings, leaves, weeds and garden bed clear-outs. Keep it clean (no plastic pots, no steel, no general rubbish mixed through), and we can book it as a green waste load, which is cheaper to dispose of than mixed waste. Our 8m³ UNI bin is the customer favourite for big garden jobs, and you only pay for the 6m level upfront.
Doing a major landscaping overhaul? Soil and rock are clean fill, not green waste, so let us know what the mix looks like, and we’ll set up the right bin or bins.
For smaller, regular garden tidy-ups that don’t justify a crew, the self-load skip works well: fill it over the week as you go.

Hobart Rubbish Removal Questions
What’s the price of rubbish removal in Hobart?
With Bins R Done, rubbish removal in Hobart costs $380 for a 2m³ bin with two labourers and 40 minutes of loading, $450 for 3m³, $520 for 4m³ and $640 for 6m³. Those prices are for household waste and include the bin, the crew, sorting for recycling and disposal.
Mattresses, fridges, tyres and batteries carry small surcharges.
How much does it cost to get someone to remove rubbish?
It depends on the volume and what’s in it. Most Hobart house clear-outs land around $520, which gets you a 4m³ bin and two people for 75 minutes. Smaller jobs start at $380. Labour-only services that charge by the hour can look cheaper upfront, but you still pay disposal on top.
Our price has the tip fees built in.
What is the cheapest way to remove junk in Hobart?
For a trailer load of sorted waste, the tip is usually cheapest if you’ve got the trailer and the time.
For anything bigger, a self-load skip bin ($300 for 2m³) beats multiple tip runs. If lifting is the problem rather than cost, bin plus crew at $380 is the cheapest way to make it somebody else’s problem.
How do I get rid of a lot of rubbish?
Book a 6m³ bin with our crew for $640, and they’ll clear it in about 90 minutes. For a very large job, we can deliver two bins together and offer a discount for dual deliveries.
Call us with a rough description, and we’ll size it properly.
