Lilli Pilli is prestige Port Hacking waterfront: big homes on steep blocks running down to the water, long flights of external stairs, and driveways that do not always reach the parts of the property where the rubbish is. When one of these homes is cleared, whether for a sale, a rebuild or a deceased estate, it is a serious job. Multiple truckloads, careful handling, and a lot of carrying.
The rubbish removal crews we work with handle exactly this kind of work along the Port Hacking foreshore. They quote after understanding the access, they bring enough hands for the stairs, and they load every item themselves.
Common jobs in Lilli Pilli
- Whole-home and deceased estate clearances before sale or rebuild
- Furniture and contents carried up from lower levels and boatshed storage
- Renovation strip-out waste from major home updates
- Green waste from large landscaped waterfront gardens
- Old marine gear, kayaks, outdoor furniture and pool equipment
Pre-1990 strip-outs can contain asbestos. Crews will not load suspect material: that goes to a licensed asbestos removalist.
What it costs
Guide pricing only: Lilli Pilli jobs tend toward the larger end, and a full clearance of a big waterfront home can run well into four figures across several loads. Steep access and stair carries add time and therefore cost, so an accurate picture of the block gets you an accurate quote. The cost guide explains load-based pricing so multi-load quotes make sense.
Every item is loaded by the crew. On a block with sixty steps to the water, that is not a convenience, it is the whole job.
Frequently asked questions
Can they clear a waterfront home with stair-only access to the lower levels?
Yes. Stair carries are normal on Port Hacking blocks. Crews price the carry into the quote rather than discovering it on the day.
How is a deceased estate handled?
Room by room, with anything the family wants set aside first and usable items donated where possible. See deceased estate clearances.
Will a big clearance take more than one day?
Sometimes. Large homes can need multiple truckloads, and the crew will tell you up front whether it is a one-day or two-day job.
