Rubbish Removal Caloundra

Caloundra, the Kawana strip and the southern end of the coast, covered by the same crew and the same confirmed pricing as everywhere else we work.

Access and what we clear

Rubbish removal across Caloundra

From a single mattress to a full property clearance, the job is priced by load size before we start, and the price is confirmed rather than estimated.

Caloundra runs from the older streets behind Bulcock Beach out to the newer estates at Baringa and Aura, so access changes street to street. Send photos of the access along with the load and the quote accounts for both.

  • A professional two-person crew
  • Lifting and carrying from the house, garage, yard or office
  • Loading and transport
  • Sorting for reuse, donation and recycling where possible
  • Standard disposal and tip fees within the stated allowance
  • Responsible disposal at appropriate facilities
  • A broom-clean sweep of the cleared work area

Local knowledge

What rubbish removal looks like in Caloundra

Caloundra the suburb is small and Caloundra the town is large. The suburb around Bulcock Street, the central business district, counted 3,932 people at the 2021 census; the urban centre, from Currimundi Creek and the Mooloolah River down to Bells Creek, counted 96,305 across Golden Beach, Kings Beach, Moffat Beach, Pelican Waters, Little Mountain and Baringa. Inside the suburb nearly half the homes are flats, three in four are not separate houses, and the median age is 58, well above Buderim at 46 and Maroochydore at 47.

That mix sets the work. A Caloundra unit job is a lift and a carry: a mattress, a lounge, a fridge, the contents of a flat being cleared for sale or after a death, brought down from a block behind Bulcock Street or along the beaches and out to the truck at the kerb. Households here average 1.9 people, against 2.5 in Buderim, and 42.6 per cent of homes are rented, so the loads run to one person's furniture, not a family shed.

The streets change the carry. At Moffat Beach the housing around the beach includes apartments, at Shelly Beach it runs to five storeys at most, and the truck parks where the street allows, so a frontage photo matters as much as a load photo. In Golden Beach a canal runs from the Pumicestone Passage into the canal estates of Pelican Waters, where 88 per cent of homes are separate houses and the load is furniture or a whole house, carried to the truck in the driveway. Every load is priced by size, carry included, no travel fee.

Doing it yourself

Taking it to the tip from Caloundra

The Caloundra Landfill and Resource Recovery Centre is about 7 km from the suburb, roughly 10 minutes out Caloundra Road, the Pierce Avenue turn-off at the Parklands Boulevard exit. It is the region's main landfill, the site council sends trucks over 4.5 tonnes to, and a boot of household waste costs $20. One boot load is cheaper than any pickup.

  • No charge for scrap metal and whitegoods, e-waste, or architectural paint to 100 litres a visit.
  • General waste: boot $20, trailer or ute $56, large load $112, over 500 kg $224 a tonne. Mattresses $26 each.
  • Tipping at the landfill face needs a tip-off body and a two-way radio; domestic waste there is $234 a tonne.
  • Card at the gate, no cash, and enclosed footwear on everyone who gets out of the car.

Questions

Caloundra questions

What does rubbish removal cost in Caloundra?

The same load table as everywhere we work: minimum pickup $200, quarter load (2m3 or 250kg) $330, half $600, three-quarter $850, full 8m3 load $1,100, GST included. Two people, the carry down from a unit and out to the truck, transport, standard tip fees and a sweep are in that price, with no call-out or travel fee. See our pricing page.

Can you collect same-day in Caloundra?

Usually same-day or next-day on weekdays. Send photos of the load, and of the street frontage or the stairs if it is a unit, to 0426 873 226 and you get a confirmed price and the first available slot. If the sale settles or the keys go back on a set date, we work to it.

Is the Caloundra tip cheaper than a pickup?

For a boot load, yes. The landfill at 171 Pierce Avenue is about 7 km away, roughly 10 minutes, and charges $20 for a boot and $56 for a trailer. Our $200 minimum pickup is the better choice when there is no car or trailer to load, when the items are in a unit above the ground floor, or when a lounge and a fridge will not fit in one trip. Rates are in the Caloundra tip guide.

Do you clear units and flats in Caloundra?

Yes. Nearly half of the suburb's homes are flats or apartments, and a unit job is a carry job: furniture, a mattress, whitegoods and the contents of the cupboards, carried down and out. A mattress adds $30 and a fridge or freezer $20. Estates cleared for sale, downsizing moves and end-of-lease clear-outs are the same job to us. See deceased estate clearance and furniture removal.

What can you not take from a Caloundra unit or house?

Tyres and asbestos are out, every time. Paint, chemicals, fuel, oil and gas bottles need a mention when you enquire so the crew plans the handling and confirms the price; the Caloundra tip takes architectural paint to 100 litres, scrap metal, whitegoods and e-waste free if you prefer to drop them. Everything else from a unit, house or garage is fine.

Natana from Mango removals gave excellent customer service both with the booking and on-site, on the day of pick up. Once he arrived, he was very professional and started loading his truck with expertise and he was very quick. He was a pleasure, at a very stressful time of moving houses. I highly recommend Mango Removals.
