How much does a full house cleanout cost?
Northern Removals prices a house cleanout at $100 per cubic metre, volume based. A packed garage is often 4 to 8 cubic metres, so $400 to $800; a full three-bedroom house with a shed can be 15 to 25 cubic metres, so $1,500 to $2,500. We measure the load and quote it before we start, across the Byron Shire and Northern Rivers.
| Job | What it looks like | Volume · price |
|---|---|---|
| Single garage or shed | One packed garage, or a shed full of odds and ends | ≈ 4 to 8 m³ · $400 to $800 |
| Downsizing declutter | Furniture and clutter thinned before a move | ≈ 8 to 12 m³ · $800 to $1,200 |
| Full three-bed house | Whole home, garage and garden shed | ≈ 15 to 25 m³ · $1,500 to $2,500 |
| Heavily cluttered home | Packed rooms, years of contents, multiple sheds | Measured and quoted on site |
The rate is fixed at $100 per cubic metre; a half-full truck costs half a full one. The only real variable is how much there is, and we settle that with a walk-through, not a number pulled over the phone.
Do I have to carry anything out to the truck?
No. Two movers from Northern Removals do all of the carrying, from the back shed, the roof space, the top floor or the far corner of the garage, out to the truck. That is the whole point of the $100 per cubic metre rate: you point at what goes, and we lift, load and run it to the Myocum tip ourselves.
It is the difference between a skip bin and a cleanout. A skip sits on the drive and you fill it. Northern Removals brings the people who empty the house for you.
Do you handle hoarder-style and heavily cluttered clearouts?
Yes, without judgement. Northern Removals clears heavily cluttered homes across the Byron Shire and Northern Rivers at $100 per cubic metre. We work room by room, set aside anything you want kept, and clear the rest steadily. The load is measured and quoted before we start, which matters when a house is packed floor to ceiling.
Nobody is timing you and nobody is commenting. We show up with the truck, agree what stays and what goes, and get through it at a pace that works. If a job needs more than one day, we book more than one day.
Can a house be cleared before it goes on the market?
Yes. A pre-sale declutter is one of the most common jobs Northern Removals runs: clear the garage, empty the shed, strip the dated furniture, so the house photographs empty and shows well. At $100 per cubic metre it is often the cheapest lift on a property's sale price, booked around the agent's campaign date.
| Category | What happens to it | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Anything you want kept | Set aside first, in one spot, never removed | No charge |
| Usable furniture and whitegoods | Offered to a local charity or the Re-Market tip shop | Reduces the paid volume |
| General clutter and rubbish | Carried out, loaded and run to the tip | $100 per cubic metre |
| Green waste from the yard | Kept as a clean load for the cheaper stream | $100 per cubic metre |
