Rubbish removal in Frenchs Forest

Kitchens, bathrooms and floors come out of Frenchs Forest houses and townhouses the same way they come out of Davidson's. We clear them in the same three loads, booked around your trades, with one fixed price agreed first.

A house and a townhouse are different jobs

Frenchs Forest is mostly houses, but about one home in fourteen is a townhouse or unit, far more than in Davidson (2021 Census: Frenchs Forest, Davidson). Getting the load out is what changes, so we ask which you have before we come.

A house

We carry from wherever the load is: the rooms, the garage, under the house or down the side path. A steep drive or stairs to the street takes a little longer, and that's part of the price we give you, not a surprise afterwards.

  • Tell us if the drive is shared or steep
  • Tell us if the load is under the house
  • We sweep where the load stood before we leave

A townhouse or unit

Strata buildings have their own rules for lifts, loading and parking. Check with your building manager or committee before the day, and tell us what they said: which lift, which entrance, and where we can stand the truck.

  • Book the lift if the building needs it
  • Tell us about visitor parking or a loading bay
  • Common areas stay clear while we load

Renovating in Frenchs Forest

We book three loads around your trades. The rooms get emptied before the start date, the old kitchen or bathroom goes as it comes out, and the offcuts and packaging go after handover.

  • Before the trades: furniture and contents that aren't staying
  • During: cabinets, benchtops, vanities, baths, carpet and deck boards
  • After handover: offcuts, packaging and the pieces the new room retired

In a townhouse the second load is often the tight one, because the old kitchen has nowhere to sit. We plan it for the day it comes out. Renovation rubbish removal

Council cleanups and skips in Frenchs Forest

Frenchs Forest is in the Northern Beaches Council area. Its bulky goods collection is booked twice in 12 months, and it leaves out building material such as bricks, rubble and insulation, as well as TVs and computers, garden vegetation, glass, and anything longer than 1.8 metres. It takes one built-in item, like a single cabinet or a toilet. A renovation's rubbish mostly falls outside it.

A skip on the road needs the council's building waste container approval, lodged at least two working days ahead, with a 1.5 metre path left clear for people walking past. On a busy street or a townhouse frontage, a crew that loads and leaves is often simpler. Skip or a crew

Everything else we take in Frenchs Forest

Built before 1990? Test old sheeting first.

NSW EPA advice is to assume a house from before 1990 has some asbestos in it. If your renovation will disturb eaves linings, wet-area wall sheeting or old vinyl, have it tested before the work starts. We don't take asbestos; a licensed asbestos contractor does. What to test

Frenchs Forest questions

Will you come to Frenchs Forest for one item?

Yes. A single fridge or mattress is a job on its own, priced on its own.

Can you load from a townhouse garage or a basement car park?

Usually, as long as the building allows it and there's clearance for us to get in and out. Let us know what the building allows and we'll plan the load around it.

Are the council rules the same as in Davidson?

Yes. Frenchs Forest and Davidson are both in the Northern Beaches Council area, so the bulky goods collection and the skip permit work the same way in both.

How is the price worked out?

We look at the load and give you one fixed price before anything is lifted. It depends on how much there is, what it is, and how far we carry it. No hourly rate, no tip fees on top.
