Furniture and white goods pickup in Double Bay

The usual suspects

• The fridge that died on a Tuesday, and the washing machine thinking about it.
• Sofas, armchairs and the mattress the new one replaced.
• Wardrobes, desks, bookshelves and flat-pack pieces that won't survive disassembly.
• E-waste: TVs, monitors, printers, the box of cables and chargers.
• The balcony job: pots, planters, a rusted setting, the barbecue that's now ornamental.
• Small mixed loads: the storage cage, the corner of the garage, the spare room's spare decade.

Why not just wait for the council date?

Fair question, and sometimes the answer is: you should. Woollahra Council runs three free kerbside clean-ups a year on a set roster, and if your items fit the rules and can wait for the date, use them. We wrote an honest guide on when the council clean-up is the right call and when it isn't.

People book us when the answer is "it can't wait", "it can't go on the kerb" (in most of this suburb's buildings, it can't), "it's more than one ute load", or "the council list won't take it". A booked pickup also comes upstairs: we carry from inside the apartment, not from the kerb, and we take the doors off their hinges and put them back if the sofa insists.

Apartments, done the apartment way

Even a one-fridge job runs like a small building run here: a word to the building manager where one is needed, the lift padded where the building requires it, and nothing wheeled over bare lobby stone. It takes us twenty extra minutes and saves you a strata email thread you'd read for a month.

Still good, or nearly? Where an item is genuinely reusable we'd rather route it to donation than the tip, and we'll tell you when that's realistic and when it's wishful thinking.
