Yes, we do offer accounts to approved business customers. Please contact us for an account application.


What do you do with the rubbish you collect?
Wherever possible, we recycle or donate items we collect. We dispose of other non-recyclable rubbish at designated transfer stations in the local area.



Why would I get you to remove my rubbish if I can get a skip or bin instead?
With 0800-JUNK-RUN, we do the loading for you - you don't have to lift a finger. We arrive at a time to suit you and do the job right then and there (no bin sitting in your yard for days). And you only pay for the volume of rubbish we take away. With a bin or skip, you pay for the whole bin whether you fill it or not.



Can you give me an exact quote over the phone or by email?
When you contact 0800-JUNK-RUN, we'll ask you some questions about the rubbish you need removed. Based on that information, we can give you a price estimate. When we're onsite, our drivers will assess the exact volume and type of rubbish and give you a exact price for your approval before any loading begins. But until we see the exact type and volume of rubbish to be removed, we can't give you an exact quote. All quotes are free with no obligation.



Do I have to be onsite for you to remove rubbish?
No, not necessarily, providing that our driver can get access to your rubbish. When we arrive onsite, we'll give you a quick call to confirm the price with you, then begin work.



Why are appointments booked in two-hour time slots?
We can't always control the exact time that we arrive (for example, if traffic is heavy or a job takes longer than expected), so we book appointments in two-hour time slots. Our driver will call you 15-30 minutes prior to their arrival.
