Dust Sheet, renovation waste and rubbish removal

Renovation waste removal in Double Bay

Between the demolition and the fit-out there's a moment every renovation dreads: the unit full of debris, the next trade booked, and a building between the two. That run is our whole specialty.

The between-trades pickup

A strip-out doesn't end when the last tile comes off the wall. It ends when the debris is out of the unit, out of the building, and the floor is swept for whoever's next on the schedule. That gap between trades is where renovations lose days, and it's the job we built Dust Sheet around.

We take what a strip-out actually produces: plasterboard and sheeting, wall and floor tiles, old joinery and benchtops, vanities, bath tubs and shower screens, timber, flooring, packaging from the new fit-out, and the odd sofa that was always going anyway. Loads are wrapped before they leave the unit, so the debris crosses the building as neat bundles, not dust clouds.

How a debris run works

  1. You tell us the job. A bathroom on Cross Street, a kitchen on Carlotta Road, a whole unit above the village. Photos help; so does knowing the building.
  2. We settle the price, fixed. One all-in figure for the run: crew, carry, protection, tipping, the sweep. Agreed before we lift a thing, and it doesn't move because the stairs were harder than we thought. That's our problem, and the point of a fixed price.
  3. We square the building away. Lift booking, protective curtains, loading zone, the work-hour window in your building's bylaws. If the building manager wants a call first, we make it. We book the lift before we book the truck.
  4. Sheets down, load out. Protection from your door to the truck. Bundles wrapped, carried, never dragged, never staged in the common hall.
  5. Swept, and ready. The unit broom-clean, protection folded, lift curtains down, lobby as we found it. The sparky walks into a room that's ready, not a room that's almost ready.

Who calls us for this

  • Owners renovating their own unit, who care less about the debris and more about the building: the neighbours, the committee, the bond on the common property. We handle the building part like it's our own name on the strata roll.
  • Builders and trades running eastern-suburbs unit renos who need the debris leg handled so the schedule holds. We slot between your trades, and we're happy being the crew you call every time.
  • Designers and project managers staging handovers, who want the site photo-ready and the client never once asked to think about waste.

Staged jobs, one point of contact

A whole-unit renovation rarely wants one giant clearance. It wants the strip-out gone in week one, the old kitchen gone in week three, and the fit-out packaging gone before handover. We schedule the runs around your trades, and the same crew keeps turning up, already knowing the lift code.

The fixed price is not a discount trick; it's just where the risk belongs. We've seen the stairs, so we carry the surprise, not you.

Worth reading before you strip a wall

  1. Renovating in a strata building: who approves what: cosmetic, minor and major work under NSW strata law, and where the debris fits.
  2. Where the waste goes: what happens to a strip-out load after it leaves your building.

Ready when the debris is
