End-of-lease rubbish removal in Double Bay

Timed to the final inspection, not our roster

End-of-lease timing is unforgiving: the furniture truck has been, the cleaner is booked, the agent has a time, and whatever's left in between is your problem. We take that slot deliberately. Tell us when the keys go back and we work backwards, usually clearing after the furniture goes and before the bond clean, so the cleaner walks into empty rooms.

What usually goes

• Furniture that isn't making the move: sofas, beds, mattresses, wardrobes, the desk from the working-from-home years.
• Whitegoods: the fridge, the washer, the dryer that came with you three leases ago.
• Balcony and storage-cage contents: pots, bikes, boxes you haven't opened since the last move.
• The genuinely miscellaneous: e-waste, clothes for donation where they're fit for it, and the drawer of cables every household owns.

Anything still good goes to reuse or donation where it's practical; the rest is sorted into the right streams. If you want the details, here's where the waste goes.

Apartment buildings are our home ground

Most vacates here run through a lift or down a set of stairs the bond also cares about. We protect the common areas the same way we do on a renovation run, because a scuffed lobby wall three days before your bond inspection is a special kind of own goal. Building rules on moving hours are checked before we book the time.

Landlords, agents and the flat that came back full

We also clear the other side of the tenancy: the apartment a tenant left full, the furnished flat being unfurnished between leases, the garage that somehow belongs to no one. Property managers get the same fixed-price-first arrangement, and photos of the finished rooms if you're managing it from a desk.

One fixed price, agreed before we start. The bond is stressful enough without a bill that grew in the lift.
