How to Prepare for a Rubbish Removal Pickup
A little prep makes your rubbish removal faster and can even keep the price down. Here's what helps.
By Matt from Lanky Services ·
Group it together
If you can, put everything in one spot, a garage, driveway or one room. It is not essential (we will grab it from wherever it is), but it speeds things up and keeps the cost down.
Pull out anything you are keeping
Double-check the pile for anything you actually want to keep before we arrive. Once it is on the van, it is gone.
Send a photo first
A quick photo lets us give you an accurate quote and bring the right vehicle, so there are no surprises when we turn up.
Helpful resources & sources
Want to check the facts or drop something off yourself? These are the official NSW and Central Coast waste authorities we work alongside:
- Central Coast Council – Waste & Recycling — bin days, tip locations and what goes where.
- NSW EPA – Recycling & Reuse — the state rules on waste, recycling and safe disposal.
- Planet Ark – Recycling Near You — find a drop-off point for almost anything.
- NSW EPA – Illegal Dumping — why dumping rubbish is illegal (and what it costs).
