Buderim is where we clear the most rubbish
Since January 2024 we have done more than 530 jobs in Buderim, and more than 260 of those were rubbish runs. No other suburb on the Coast keeps us as busy. That works out to several jobs a week on the hill: old couches, broken outdoor settings, boxes of clutter and ute loads of garden cuttings.
The tip is close, too. Buderim loads go to the Buderim Transfer Station on Syd Lingard Drive, a short run from most streets in the suburb. We take the load, pay at the weighbridge and pass on exactly what the tip charges.
Rubbish removal prices in Buderim
You pay two things: our service fee, which covers the crew, the ute and the loading, and the tip fee, which is whatever the transfer station charges for your load. The service fee is set before we start. Here is the current card, including GST:
| Job | Service fee | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single item, one person | $109 | A fridge, couch or bed one person can manage on a trolley. |
| Single item that needs two people | $209 | Heavy or awkward pieces, or anything down a steep set of stairs. |
| One full ute load, in a pile ready to go | $139 | Everything stacked in one spot, such as the garage or the driveway. |
| One full ute load, collected from around the property | $189 | We walk through the house, yard or shed and gather it up. |
| Two ute loads, in a pile / collected | $269 / $369 | For a bigger clean-out that fills the ute twice. |
| Two people, one load, in a pile / collected | $239 / $309 | Faster loading when the pile is heavy. |
| Two people, two loads, in a pile / collected | $419 / $519 | Larger clean-outs with heavy items. |
The difference between a pile and a collection is simply where the rubbish is when we arrive. If it is all waiting in the carport, the job is quick and you pay the pile price. If we are carrying from three bedrooms, the back deck and under the house, it is a collection. Green waste is priced the same way. Saturdays cost 1.5 times the weekday price and are done by the truck crew only, and we do not do rubbish removal on Sundays. See every rate on the prices page.
Tip fees, at cost
We never add a margin to the tip fee. The transfer station sets its own charges by weight and by type of waste, and those charges change, so we do not quote a tip figure in advance as if it were fixed. What you pay is what the docket says. The Sunshine Coast tip fees guide explains how the council sites charge.
What Buderim households throw out
Our Buderim job history shows the same items again and again:
- Beds and mattresses, the most common item on our Buderim bookings. Mattresses on their own are covered on the mattress removal page.
- Dining tables and chairs, often left behind after a downsize.
- Fridges, washing machines and dryers. See fridge removal for whitegoods.
- Couches and lounges, from two-seaters to full modular suites.
- TVs and boxes of general household clutter.
- Green waste, from palm fronds to hedge trimmings. More on green waste removal.
Moving out of a Buderim home?
A big share of our Buderim rubbish runs happen at the end of a move. We have done more than 220 moves in Buderim since 2024, and the most common one starts and finishes inside the suburb. If you are shifting house, we can move the furniture you are keeping and take the rest to the tip on the same booking. See our Buderim removalist page for move pricing, or house clearouts if the whole place needs emptying.
Slopes, stairs and long carries
Plenty of Buderim homes sit on a slope, and the rubbish is not always at the top of the driveway. Tell us when you book if things are down stairs, behind a pool fence or at the bottom of a steep yard. It helps us send the right number of people. A single heavy item that needs two of us is $209 rather than $109, and a two-person crew loads a heavy pile faster. Clearing out a garage full of years of storage? Have a look at garage cleanouts.
What happens on the day
When we pull up, we look over the load with you and confirm the service fee before anything goes on the ute. If there turns out to be more than expected, or less, we say so then, not afterwards. Then we load the ute and strap everything down.
From your place the load goes to the Buderim Transfer Station. The weighbridge prints a docket, and that docket is the tip fee on your bill. You pay the service fee and the tip fee together once the job is done. Nothing is paid upfront, and there are no deposits.
A good way to keep the cost down is to do the sorting before we arrive. Put everything that is going in one spot, keep anything you are keeping well away from it, and tell us about anything heavy. A tidy pile in the carport is the cheapest way to clear a Buderim house.
