Think it might be asbestos?
Don’t add it to the pile. Older homes often have it in fibro sheeting, “super six” roofing, fences and pipes. In NSW it usually has to be removed by a licensed removalist. SafeWork NSW explains what’s required. Once it’s gone, we can take the rest of the job.

The more building jobs Rowan does, the more he sees how much easier it is for builders than hiring a skip. There’s no bin taking up the site for days and nobody on the crew stuck loading it. And he always leaves the site cleaner than he found it.

answers before you book
Common Construction Waste Questions
Everything you need to know before we come out. Still got a question? Call Rowan on 0409 727 348.
How do I get a quote for construction waste removal?
Book a free 15-minute quote call with Rowan, by phone or video, at a time that suits you, or call 0409 727 348. Tell him what’s in the pile, roughly how much there is and how we get to it. Photos help.
How much does construction waste removal cost?
Every job is different. It depends on what’s in the pile, how much there is and how easy it is to get to. Rowan quotes each job for free on a 15-minute call, and the quote includes the loading.
Is it cheaper than hiring a skip bin?
It depends on the job. With a skip you do the loading, you may need council approval if it goes on the street, and it sits there for days. Our quote includes the loading, and it’s gone the same visit.
Do I need a council permit for a skip bin in Byron Bay, Ballina or Lismore?
If a skip goes on the road, footpath or nature strip, the council needs to approve it first. A skip that sits fully on private land usually doesn’t need approval, but check with your council. With us there’s no skip, so there’s no skip permit.
What construction waste do you take?
Any non-hazardous construction waste: renovation debris, treated and untreated timber, plasterboard, roofing, bricks, concrete, tiles, soil, metal, old fixtures, whitegoods, packaging, paint, gas bottles, tyres and general builders’ rubbish. Not sure about something? Ask on your quote call.
Can you take asbestos or fibro?
No. If you think something might be asbestos, keep it out of the pile. In NSW it usually has to be removed by a licensed removalist. Once it’s gone, we can take the rest of the job.
How soon can you come?
Often the same day, when we’re free. Getting in touch early in the day helps. We work 7am to 5pm, Monday to Saturday.
Do you do regular pickups for builders?
Yes. On a longer build we can come back weekly, or whenever the job needs it. Talk to Rowan about what suits your site.
Can you move building materials or machinery?
Yes. We can pick up or drop off materials, tools and machinery in our trailers as a paid job, covered by carrier’s insurance of up to $150,000 a claim. Ask Rowan on your quote call.
