Adam was really great - efficient, on time, organised (had pre booked the recycling slot) and helpful. He was really easy to communicate with up to and during the task. He was responsive and I would definitely recommend / use him again.

Why hire a waste collection & disposal expert through Airtasker?

Proper waste disposal requires more than simply tossing everything into one bin. Carelessly handling your rubbish can harm the environment and pose health risks. For instance, your old batteries and leftover cleaners can pollute soil and seep into the groundwater. Organic waste left to decompose attracts pests and rodents, which can spread disease. More importantly, throwing away reusable items is a waste of valuable resources!

If you need to clear out home or office waste but lack time for thorough sorting, you can reap more benefits by hiring an established waste collection and disposal service. Can’t find a reliable and affordable waste disposal near you? Make the experience a lot smoother by posting on Airtasker to connect with top-rated collectors! Review their profiles, see customer reviews, and compare quotes from qualified Taskers. You can even arrange same-day waste collection and disposal services, depending on your Tasker’s availability!

Top Waste Collection & Disposal related questions

Taskers are equipped to tackle recyclable materials such as paper, cardboard, glass, and metal. They can also manage bulky waste items such as tyres, carpets, and large household items.

Your Tasker can handle anything from small amounts of waste, like a single bag of food scraps, to larger loads that require a ute for hauling. Provide these specifics in your Airtasker listing to hire waste collectors with the appropriate vehicles and equipment for the job.

Check their experience in handling construction debris, which can be verified through their past task history and customer reviews. Look for Taskers with the necessary equipment, such as trucks or utes, that are suitable for transporting bulky materials like concrete or bricks. Also, make sure that Taskers understand local regulations and disposal requirements for construction waste.

You can typically book a waste collection and disposal service within minutes, depending on the availability of qualified Taskers. You can even schedule same-day collection.

Waste collection specialists typically take waste to recycling facilities, landfills, or incineration plants. Some types of waste, like food waste and garden waste, can be processed into compost. There are also specific facilities for e-waste. The destination depends on the type of waste being collected. 

Typically, furniture removal is booked as a separate service, which you can also find on Airtasker. However, you may request a custom service from your waste collection specialist to include furniture removal if they can accommodate it. 

Unfortunately, no. Disposing of hazardous waste such as asbestos, chemicals, gases, pesticides, and paint is typically restricted to authorities in many countries. These substances pose serious threats to public health and the environment. Some are highly reactive and can even cause fires, explosions, or corrosion of metals. For safe and proper disposal, contact a hazardous waste processing facility specialising in these materials.

Garden waste collection

If you prefer exploring a greener alternative to simply sending your garden waste to the dump, hire Taskers who can turn it into compost or mulch.


Food waste disposal

Improper disposal of organic kitchen waste not only leads to odour issues and pest infestations. It also contributes to harmful greenhouse gases.

They also accept compostable materials like eggshells, tea bags, and coffee grounds responsibly.

Once you've cleared out, enhance your workspace even further by booking a cleaning service via Airtasker.
