Furniture disposal in Melbourne can be surprisingly difficult. Old couches, tables, shelves, and mattresses are often too large for normal bins, and council limitations make disposal time-consuming.
Council hard rubbish collections accept basic furniture but limit volume and require you to wait for your scheduled pickup date. DIY disposal is possible but requires transport, tip fees, and heavy lifting.
Private junk removal is often the most convenient option. Teams can remove heavy furniture from inside your home, handle loading, and recycle eligible materials. Same-day service means your old furniture can be gone within hours.
While council disposal is free, the flexibility and speed of professional removal make it the better choice when dealing with multiple items, urgent cleanouts, or large volumes.
