Clearing out a beach shack at the edge of Murramarang
North Durras is the last stop at the top of our run, a quiet pocket of holiday shacks and beach houses tucked up against Murramarang National Park. The properties here are different from the units in town. A lot of them are older fibro shacks that have been in the same family for decades, full of furniture nobody has sat on in years, fishing gear in the shed and a carport stacked with whatever was too good to throw out at the time. When it finally comes time to clear it, that's the job we do.
We're Capital Coastal Cleaning, a small Indigenous-owned team based in Batemans Bay, and we handle rubbish removal for the kind of clear-outs that North Durras throws up. Household junk, old furniture, whitegoods, green waste and full garage, shed or estate clear-outs, all loaded, hauled and disposed of responsibly. We're at the far northern edge of where we work, but North Durras gets the same service as everywhere else, with no travel surcharge for the extra distance up the road.
The shed and the carport are usually the real job
In a town of beach shacks, the rubbish is rarely just a few bin bags. It's the lifetime of stuff that collects in a holiday house that only gets visited a handful of times a year. A rusted-out fridge in the laundry, a lounge that the salt air has finally finished off, crab pots and beach toys, half-empty paint tins and a mower that hasn't turned over since the 2019 season. We sort it on the spot, split out what can be recycled or donated from what has to go to the tip, and clear the lot.
Because so many North Durras houses sit on bush blocks against the national park, green waste is a big part of what we cart away. Fallen branches, a trailer load of garden cuttings, the pile behind the shed that has been growing since the last big blow. We take it as part of the same job, so you aren't left running trips to the Bay yourself in a hatchback.
Resetting a holiday let between guests
Guest changeovers are the most common reason people call us in North Durras, and rubbish removal is often the bit that gets forgotten until the last minute. A long-stay group leaves behind a garage full of empty boxes, an old mattress they dragged out to the carport, or a barbecue that finally gave up over Christmas. With the next booking due and the place needing a reset before peak season, that isn't rubbish you want sitting in the photos.
We clear the bulky leftovers so the shack is guest-ready, not just clean but empty of the junk that piles up between stays. If you're already booking a deep clean to reset the place for the holidays, it makes sense to have us take the old furniture and whitegoods out in the same visit rather than leaving it for the next changeover to deal with.
End of lease and the bulky stuff tenants leave behind
North Durras has its share of rental stock alongside the holiday shacks, and when a tenant moves out they don't always take everything with them. We do end of lease work here cleaned to the REINSW exit standard, and the rubbish side of that matters just as much. A bond clean doesn't pass if there's an old couch on the deck and a dead washing machine in the laundry.
We clear the abandoned furniture, whitegoods and household junk first, then the place can be cleaned properly. Our end of lease cleaning carries a bond-back guarantee, so if the agent flags the clean we come back and re-clean it free within 72 hours. Getting the bulky rubbish gone before the inspection is the part that keeps that handover smooth, especially when you're coordinating it all from out of town.
Estate and family clear-outs, done with care
A lot of the shacks up here have been held in families for generations, and sometimes the call comes when a place is being sold or wound up after someone has passed. Those clear-outs aren't just a tip run. There's a way it should be done, sorting the keep from the go, setting aside anything that might matter, and treating the home with respect while we empty it. Being local and being a small team, that's the kind of job we're suited to.
We handle the whole estate clear-out, from the furniture and whitegoods down to the shed, the carport and the garden. We recycle and donate what we sensibly can rather than sending everything to landfill, and we tell you straight what we're doing with it.
What we'll and won't take, and how we price it
Pricing is based on volume, so you pay for the space your load actually takes up, not a flat fee whether it's half a trailer or a full shed. For a North Durras job that usually means we've a quick look or you send a few photos, and we give you a price before we start. No surprises once the gear is loaded.
We do take household junk, old furniture, whitegoods, green waste and full shed, garage or estate loads. What we don't take is hazardous waste, so things like asbestos sheeting (which the older fibro shacks up here can have), gas bottles, chemicals, paint and oils need a licensed specialist, and we'll point you in the right direction rather than risk it. The salt and bush conditions out here are hard enough on a house without anything dodgy being left in the ground.
