Como is one of the oldest corners of the Shire, cottages and heritage-feel streets stepping down to the Georges River. Narrow roads, tight driveways and older homes define the rubbish removal work. The crews we work with know that a Como job starts with access, where the truck can stand, and how far the carry is.
Common jobs in Como
- Cottage and estate clear-outs in homes that have been in one family for decades
- Downsizing clean-ups ahead of a move or sale
- Green waste from old, established gardens
- Under-house and shed clean-outs on sloping blocks
- Old furniture, whitegoods and mattress removal
A skip barely works in Como, the streets are narrow and many homes have no kerb space at all. A crew loading everything is the better fit. The truck parks where it safely can, the team carries each item out, and nothing blocks the street for days.
What it costs
Carry distance matters here. A cottage with rear lane access is a different job to one down a flight of steps from the road. As guide pricing only, small loads start from around $70 to $150 for a minimum callout. See the rubbish removal cost guide for typical ranges, and describe your access when you enquire.
Frequently asked questions
My street is narrow. Can a truck still do the job?
Yes. Crews use trucks that handle Como's streets, and where parking is tight they carry a little further rather than skip the job.
Can a crew clear an old cottage with decades of contents?
Yes. Long-accumulation clear-outs are the signature Como job. Crews work methodically and check anything that looks like it should stay.
Do crews remove green waste from overgrown gardens?
Yes. Old gardens that have got away are common here. Once it is cut, crews bundle and load the lot in one visit.
