Junk removal in Brisbane Southside, done the Junkbird way
From Holland Park's post-war Queenslanders to the big family homes around Mansfield and Carindale, Southside loads are usually renovation-driven: old kitchens, bathrooms stripped out, carpets, and the garage that's been "sorted later" for a decade.
Brisbane City Council's kerbside large-item collection runs on a fixed suburb schedule and only takes certain items — if your date is months away or the pile won't fit the rules, we collect within a day. Brisbane City Council resource recovery centres charge around $345 per tonne for commercial general waste and a per-item fee for mattresses — all included in our price.
Local notes: Brisbane Southside
Getting to you. Our Brisbane runs cover the southside most days — Mount Gravatt, Sunnybank, Carindale, Holland Park and down to Eight Mile Plains — so booking before 11am gives the best chance of a same-day slot.
The southside is Brisbane's biggest spread of post-war family homes: Queenslanders and chamferboard houses in Holland Park, Coorparoo and Annerley, 1970s brick in Mount Gravatt and Sunnybank, newer townhouses around Garden City and the Mater precinct. Underneath-the-house storage is a southside institution, and clearing twenty years of it out is our most common job here.
Deceased-estate and downsizing clearances are frequent in the older suburbs, often arranged by family interstate; we send before and after photos and offer usable furniture to charity partners before recycling. Brisbane City Council's transfer stations charge per load for general waste, and the state waste levy is built into every Junkbird price.
Typical southside job: a full under-house clear-out in Holland Park — old timber, a workshop bench, paint tins we can't take (we point you to the council drop-off), bikes, cots and a broken fridge. Around a full load with heavy timber priced by weight.
