Rubbish and junk removal for Balmain's terraces, units and Darling Street businesses, from a Sydney business that has been doing this for over 15 years.

A lot of Balmain is old terrace housing on narrow streets. Plenty of those terraces have no side access, so a worn-out couch or the construction rubbish from a renovation comes out through the front door or the back gate. Paul's team does the carrying. Book before midday and Paul can usually collect the same day. He works 24/7, which means an early start before the street fills with parked cars is no trouble. There's no load limit, and the quote is free.

A massive shout-out to Paul and his team for showing up bright and early the very next day after I reached out and helping me tackle a massive apartment clean-up. They were courteous, professional, and respectful throughout the entire process, making sure my neighbours weren’t disrupted. The team worked efficiently, communicated well, and were genuinely a pleasure to deal with. Paul even organised a cleaning team to come in afterwards on the same day, and by late afternoon my unit was spotless. I couldn’t be happier with the service and would highly recommend Paul and his team to anyone needing a reliable and professional clean-up service.

I love how three men rocked up. I was only expecting Paul himself. This makes the job more efficient.

I'm extremely happy with the service I received from Paul's Rubbish Removal. Paul and Steve were both very polite and professional, and they explained everything clearly from the start. The pricing was upfront and the whole process was quick and easy. To be honest, I'm so happy with the service that I probably won't bother going to the tip again. Good businesses with great service are few and far between these days, so it's refreshing to come across one like this.

We are so impressed with the service we received from Paul and his crew today. From the moment they arrived, throughout the process and the cleanup at the end made a very daunting task for us no longer a worry. My father passed away and left a workshop bursting at the seams, 66 years worth of stuff collected during his 77 year piano tuning career. Thanks again Paul and team

About Balmain

Balmain is on the Balmain peninsula, west of the Sydney CBD, with the waters of Port Jackson all around it. Rozelle is to the south-west, Birchgrove to the north-west and Balmain East to the east.

In the 1800s it became one of Sydney's main industrial centres, with shipbuilding and Mort's Dock around Mort Bay. The dock owners sold off small blocks of land to entrepreneurs, who built tiny cottages and rented them to the workers. Today much of the suburb is a heritage conservation area of Victorian and Edwardian houses.

In 2021, 10,454 people lived in Balmain, and 41.4% of households rented, compared with 32.6% across NSW. Tenants move on, landlords freshen places up between leases, and the clear-outs keep coming.

Inner West Council runs a booked clean-up for the disposal of bulky household items, capped at two cubic metres per collection, with everything left on the street the evening before. Our Inner West Council clean-up guide explains the categories and how to book. If you'd rather not wait, or the pile is bigger than the limit, call Paul before midday and he can usually take the lot the same day.

We also cover the rest of the peninsula and the suburbs around it, including Balmain East, Birchgrove and Rozelle. For the wider area, see our Inner West rubbish removal page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon can you pick up my rubbish?

Book before midday and we can collect the same day. Call 0407 125 125 for a free quote and we'll arrange a time that suits you.

Is there a limit on how much rubbish you'll take?

No. There's no load limit of any kind. We take any size job, and if it needs more than one truck or more than one trip, we arrange it.

What kinds of rubbish do you remove?

Household rubbish, furniture, mattresses, white goods and fridges, electronics and e-waste, garden waste, timber, scrap metal, and construction, renovation and demolition waste. Mattresses go in the same trip with no limit and no extra charge.

Do you come into my house to get the rubbish, or do I have to take it outside?

Our team will come inside to remove your rubbish, so you don't need to lift a finger. We handle the heavy lifting, from appliances to general junk.

How much does rubbish removal cost?

Pricing depends on how much rubbish there is and what it is, so every job is quoted individually. Call 0407 125 125 for a free quote.

Where does my rubbish end up?

Everything we collect goes to council processing facilities that recycle. Paul's Rubbish Removal also supports Clean Up Australia and the Australian Organics Recycling Association.

Are you insured?

Yes. Paul's Rubbish Removal is fully insured, has been clearing rubbish across Sydney for over 15 years, and backs every job with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Can you get rubbish out of a Balmain terrace with no side access?

Yes. Terraces and semi-detached houses are the most common kind of home in Balmain, ahead of both units and freestanding houses, and many open only to the street and a back lane. Paul's team carries everything through by hand, down the hall or out the back gate. Let us know which way is easier and where the truck can pull up.

Will you collect from the lane behind my house?

Yes, if the truck can get to it. Tell us about the lane when you book and Paul will plan the pick-up from there. Inner West Council's clean-up booking also lets you choose the front, side or rear of the property as the collection point. With the council, though, the items still have to be outside your property boundary the night before.

Can you take construction rubbish from a Balmain renovation?

Yes. Much of Balmain is a heritage conservation area of Victorian and Edwardian houses, and renovating one turns up plenty of old timber, plaster and fittings. The council clean-up won't take building materials such as bricks, concrete, soil, sand or fencing. Building and renovation rubbish is part of an ordinary job for Paul's team, and even a full strip-out has no load limit.

Inner West Council has a clean-up service. Why would I pay Paul?

The council clean-up works well if you can wait for a booking and your items fit its categories. Each collection is capped at two cubic metres, every category is booked separately, and anything in the wrong category is left on the street. It all has to be on the kerb the evening before, because the council won't come inside your property boundary. Paul has no load limit, takes mixed loads in one go and carries it out from inside. Book before midday and he can usually collect the same day.

Can you clear a Balmain rental at the end of the lease?

Yes. Balmain has a lot of renters, 41.4% of households in 2021 against 32.6% across NSW, so leases end here all the time. Book before midday and Paul can usually collect the same day, which helps when the final inspection is close. Old furniture, mattresses and whatever the last housemate left behind all go in one load.

We don't have a car. How do we get rid of bulky rubbish?

You're not alone. 14.9% of Balmain households had no registered car at the 2021 Census, against 9% for NSW. The council's Community Recycling Centre at 50-54 Moore Street, Leichhardt, takes household quantities of paint, gas bottles and e-waste, but it only opens on weekends. Paul comes to you, carries it out and takes it away, so nobody has to make the trip.

Can you remove rubbish from a Balmain unit block?

Yes. Not everyone here lives in a terrace. In 2021, 37.6% of Balmain homes were flats or apartments, including the complexes built on the old Lever Brothers site. Paul's team brings everything down by lift or stairs. If your building needs the lift booked or has rules about the loading area, tell us beforehand.

Will you take a mattress and the bed frame together?

Yes, and as many mattresses as you have, with no extra charge per mattress. The council's mattress clean-up is its own booking and won't take sofa beds, pillows, air mattresses or bed frames, so the frame has to go in a different category. Paul takes the mattress and the frame on the same visit.

Do you take garden waste from Balmain backyards?

Yes, loose or bagged. The council's branches clean-up only takes branches that are bundled and tied, no longer than one metre and no thicker than 10 centimetres. It won't take tree stumps, dirt, rocks or leaves in plastic bags. Paul takes green waste as it is, from lawn clippings to cut-back branches, along with anything else from the yard.

Do I need a separate booking for an old fridge?

Not with Paul. Through the council, fridges, freezers, washing machines and dryers go in the metal and whitegoods clean-up, which is a separate booking, and the doors and locks have to come off fridges first. Paul takes white goods in the same load as everything else.

Can you clear a shop or cafe on Darling Street?

Yes. Old fit-out, shelving, chairs and boxed stock all go in one load. The council's booked clean-up is only for properties paying a domestic waste management charge, so check before you count on it for a business.

Does furniture from the council clean-up get recycled?

No. Inner West Council says everything in its bulky household items and furniture category goes straight to landfill, and it asks residents to reuse, donate or sell what they can first. Paul recycles what he can, where it's appropriate. His loads go to council processing facilities that recycle, and furniture in good condition sometimes goes to charity, decided case by case.
