How much does an end-of-lease rubbish removal cost?
Northern Removals prices end-of-lease rubbish at $100 per cubic metre, volume based. A typical bond cleanout, some old furniture, a mattress and the garage leftovers, runs 3 to 6 cubic metres, so roughly $300 to $600. You pay for the space the load takes on the truck across the Byron Shire and Northern Rivers, not a flat call-out fee.
| Property | Typical leftovers | Volume · price |
|---|---|---|
| Studio or one-bed unit | A mattress, a couch, a few boxes of leftovers | ≈ 2 to 3 m³ · $200 to $300 |
| Two-bed unit or townhouse | Old furniture, mattress, garage odds and ends | ≈ 4 to 6 m³ · $400 to $600 |
| Three-bed house | Whole-house leftovers, shed, garden clippings | ≈ 8 to 12 m³ · $800 to $1,200 |
| Single awkward item | One couch, fridge or mattress the tip charges for | Measured, from about $100 |
The rate never changes with the day or the address. A half-full truck costs half a full one, so a light bond clear is genuinely cheap and a whole-house leftover is priced by exactly what is on the tray.
Does clearing the rubbish help get the bond back?
It removes one of the common reasons an agent withholds bond. A final inspection expects the property empty and clean, not a pile of hard waste in the yard, garage or spare room. Northern Removals clears exactly that across the Byron Shire and Northern Rivers at $100 per cubic metre, so the inspection is about the clean, not the leftovers.
We are not a bond-clean company and we do not pretend to be. What we do is the heavy half nobody wants: the furniture, the mattress, the shed pile. Book the 60-second quote and the vacuuming is all that is left.
Why can't I leave the hard rubbish on the kerb?
Byron Shire has no on-call kerbside hard-waste pickup. Leaving furniture or a mattress on the nature strip counts as illegal dumping, with fines up to $4,000, and a managing agent can charge the removal back against your bond. Northern Removals takes it properly at $100 per cubic metre, loaded and run to the Myocum tip.
| Option | The catch | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Leave it on the kerb | Illegal dumping, fines up to $4,000, charged to your bond | The bond, and worse |
| DIY tip run to Myocum | Trailer, the drive, the weekend queue, weighed at the gate | Gate fee + your day |
| Byron courtesy trailer | Byron Shire only, tow bar needed, weekday booking | Free, but you do it |
| Northern Removals | Loaded from inside, any day, often same-day | ≈ $100 per cubic metre |
The full breakdown of Byron Shire vouchers, the courtesy trailer and the gate fees is in the Byron Bay tip guide.
Can Northern Removals do it same-day before an inspection?
Often, yes. Northern Removals runs rubbish loads across the Byron Shire most days from the Tyagarah depot, so a same-day or next-day clear before an inspection is usually doable when you call early. Two movers carry it out from inside the property, so nothing has to be dragged to the kerb first, all at $100 per cubic metre.
Moving out and moving on the same week? The old rubbish leaves on one truck at $100 per cubic metre and the actual move runs at $170 an hour, so you deal with one crew, not two.
