Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• collect black bin bags from the agreed location (garden, garage or shed)

• check bags for contamination (food waste, mould, sharps) and segregate hazardous items

• double‑bag and use PPE for wet or contaminated sacks

• transport bags to the agreed disposal route (local tip, council uplift or authorised facility)

• tally or weigh bags and confirm any additional disposal charges before proceeding

• tidy the area, remove debris and take photos on request

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Most straightforward bin‑bag removals take 30–90 minutes; a small house load (5–15 bags) typically 1–2 hours, while larger volumes, trips to a transfer station or hazardous waste handling add time

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• do you charge a call‑out fee and is that deducted from the final bill

• are you insured for waste carriage and public liability

• how will you dispose of suspected contaminated or hazardous waste

• do you provide PPE and will you handle sharps or do you need me to secure them first

• will any skip hire or transfer station charges be billed separately

• can you give a written estimate that itemises disposal and labour

How to Avoid Surprises

• clear a safe access route and point out locked or restricted areas

• book parking or a loading bay if a van needs close access

• separate recyclables and let the tradie know about large or heavy items in advance

• tell the tradie about any suspected sharps, chemicals or bio‑waste before arrival
