Rubbish removal for Catalina's established family homes
Catalina is one of those north-side pockets where people stay put. A lot of the houses backing onto the Catalina Country Club and the golf course have had the same family in them for years, and that means decades of stuff piling up in the garage, the shed and the back room. When you've lived somewhere that long, the clear-out is never a couple of bags. It's the old lounge suite nobody sat on after the new one arrived, the spare fridge in the garage, the broken whipper snipper, the kids' bikes they grew out of two kids ago.
That's the kind of job we're set up for. We take household junk, old furniture, whitegoods, green waste and full garage, shed or estate clear-outs, and we price it on volume so you only pay for what we actually cart away. We're Tyson, Shanice and Lisa, a small Batemans Bay team, and on a Catalina clear-out you get us doing the lifting, not a faceless skip-bin company.
Because Catalina is an easy run for us straight off the bridge, there's no travel surcharge to get a ute and trailer up here. You're paying for the rubbish, not the petrol.
Bushland and golf-course green waste off the Cullendulla edge
The thing that makes Catalina different from the beachfront suburbs is the bush. The suburb edges the Cullendulla wetlands, and those bushland-adjacent blocks pull in far more leaf litter, branches and garden debris than a house down on the sand ever would. If your place backs onto the country club greens or sits near the wetland edge, you know the gutters fill up, the gum drop never stops, and the green bin is full again two days after collection.
Green waste is a big slice of our rubbish removal work up here for exactly that reason. After a big prune, a storm drop or a long-overdue tidy of an overgrown back fence, we load the lot, branches, clippings, palm fronds and all, and take it for responsible disposal rather than letting it sit in a heap breeding snakes and spiders over summer.
We also see a lot of mixed loads on these bushland blocks: green waste plus the rusted-out garden gear, old pots, broken trellis and the bag of who-knows-what that has been behind the shed since the last owner. One trip, one volume price, sorted for recycling where it can be.
Bond clean-outs for Catalina's long-term rentals
There are a lot of long-term rentals through Catalina, and when a long tenancy ends, the rubbish side of the exit is usually bigger than anyone expects. Someone who has rented the same family home for five or eight years leaves behind more than they think: the broken bookshelf, the dead microwave, the trampoline frame, the pile of flattened boxes in the garage. None of that comes out in a normal end of lease clean, and an agent won't sign off on a property with a shed full of junk in it.
We pair rubbish removal with our bond cleaning so the place goes back to the agent properly empty and properly clean. Clear the junk first, then clean to the REINSW exit standard, and our end of lease work carries a bond-back guarantee, so if the agent flags the cleaning we come back and re-clean within 72 hours for free.
If you're an owner or a property manager turning a Catalina rental over between tenants, this is the painful part to hand off. We take the abandoned furniture and whitegoods, the green waste from a neglected yard, and the general household rubbish, then leave it ready for the next inspection.
Estate and downsizing clear-outs, done with care
Catalina being an established suburb, a fair bit of our clear-out work here's the harder kind. When an older family member moves into care, downsizes, or passes away, the family is often left with a whole house to empty, and they're usually doing it from a distance or around their own work and grief. These established family homes near the golf course can hold a lifetime of belongings.
We handle estate and full-house clear-outs at the pace that suits the family. You point out what stays, what goes to charity, and what's rubbish, and we sort and remove the rest. We're police-checked and fully insured, so if you can't be there on the day, you can hand us the keys and trust the job gets done properly and respectfully.
Whitegoods and metal go for recycling, usable furniture can be set aside for donation rather than landfill, and the genuine rubbish gets disposed of responsibly. It's a heavy day to face on your own, and it's the sort of local job we treat the way we'd want our own family's handled.
What we take, what we don't, and how we price it
For a Catalina job we'll clear household junk, old furniture, mattresses, whitegoods and appliances, green waste, and full garage, shed or estate loads. Whatever can be recycled or donated, we keep out of landfill. Pricing is by volume, worked out from how much room your load takes in the trailer, so a single old fridge costs a single old fridge, not a flat skip-bin fee whether it's full or not.
What we don't take is hazardous waste. No asbestos, no chemicals, paints, solvents, gas bottles, oils or tyres. The Eurobodalla has the right facilities for that, and we aren't licensed to cart it, so we'll tell you straight and point you in the right direction rather than risk it.
We're open seven days, so if you're timing a clear-out around a rental handover, an inspection, or just a free weekend, give us a ring on 0479 184 498 and we'll sort a time that suits.
