Built for renovation timelines
Renovation waste is a scheduling problem as much as a hauling one. Debris piling up in a unit stops the next trade from starting, and most condominium managements restrict both working hours and lift use. We book to a slot rather than a vague window, so tiling can start the morning after the hacking debris leaves.
Contractors, interior designers and homeowners running their own renovation all use the same number. If you're managing several units at once, say so — recurring collections across a project get scheduled together.
What we clear from a renovation
- Hacking debris — floor and wall tiles, screed, concrete, brick, plaster
- Old carpentry — kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, feature walls, false ceilings
- Timber and offcuts — plywood, laminate, skirting, door frames
- Sanitary ware — old basins, WCs, bathtubs, shower screens
- Metal — window frames, grilles, gates, ducting, conduit
- Packaging — cardboard, foam and pallet waste from new fittings
Weight is the constraint, not volume
This is the part that catches people out. Hacked tiles and concrete are dense — a full load fills up on weight long before it looks full, and a single bathroom strip-out can approach a tonne on its own. When you send photos of a hacking job, include roughly how many square feet were hacked so we size it properly rather than sending a lorry that has to turn back.
For anything beyond a couple of loads, a skip tank left on site is usually cheaper per tonne than repeat lorry runs. Same company, same number — ask and we’ll price both.
Condominium permits and lift protection
Most condominium managements require a permit-to-work, a copy of the contractor's insurance, a deposit, and a booked service lift with padding installed. Debris often has to move along a specific route and only during set hours. We'll deal with the management office directly and work to their conditions — but give us a few days, because permits are rarely issued same-day.
What we can't take from a site
Paint, thinner, solvents, adhesives, chemicals and gas cylinders are regulated hazardous waste and need a licensed hazardous waste collector. The same goes for any asbestos or asbestos-backed sheeting found in older properties — that needs a specialist removal contractor and must not be mixed into a general debris load. Flag it early and we'll tell you who to call.
Reinstatement work
Commercial reinstatement is the same job at a larger scale — carpet, partitions, false ceilings and pantry cabinetry, usually against a lease deadline. See office disposal services for how those are scheduled.
