The Right Truck and Team for the Job
Not all rubbish removal services are set up the same way. For larger clean-outs, estate jobs, rental clean-ups, commercial rubbish, furniture removal, and bulky waste, it helps to use a properly insured team with the right truck, equipment, and disposal process.
We use a clean enclosed Pantech truck, a tailgate lifter, proper lifting gear, and responsible disposal practices. That means your items are loaded safely, transported securely, and handled by an experienced local team with a 20-year track record.
Two Services. One Trusted Team.
Whether you need rubbish gone or something picked up and delivered, we handle it with the same truck, same insurance, and same care.

Based in Coffs Harbour. Servicing Port Macquarie to Yamba.
We are based in Coffs Harbour and regularly service coastal and highway towns across the Mid North Coast and Northern Rivers. For larger jobs, estate clearances, commercial cleanouts, auction pickups, IKEA delivery, major retailer pickups, and transport work, we can travel further along the East Coast.
East Coast Runs
Regular pickup and delivery runs between Sydney, Coffs Harbour, Gold Coast, and Brisbane. Ideal for items too big for couriers but not big enough for a full removalist.
Sydney to Brisbane Runs →Why Choose a Proper Rubbish Removal Company?
Not all rubbish removal services are equal. A cheap ute, open trailer, or marketplace handyman may look convenient, but many are not properly insured for rubbish removal, do not carry Goods in Transit cover, and may not have the right equipment for safe loading, contained transport, or responsible disposal.
The Junk Removers & Pick Up Pros are different. We use a modern enclosed Pantech truck with a tailgate lifter, carry major insurance coverage, and handle rubbish, furniture, estate goods, commercial waste, and bulky items with care. For property managers, solicitors, families, support providers, businesses, and homeowners, that means a cleaner job, safer transport, clearer communication, and a more dependable result.
“Don't risk your property, your driveway, or your reputation with an uninsured trailer operator. Choose a proven local rubbish removal team with the truck, insurance, equipment, and experience to do the job properly.”

“John was brilliant. We needed mum's home cleared after she passed and it was an emotional time. He handled everything with complete respect, worked quietly and professionally, and the whole place was cleared in a day. Cannot recommend enough.”
Sarah T.
Coffs Harbour — Deceased Estate Clearance
“Needed a full garage and backyard clean-out before putting the property on the market. John turned up on time, gave me a fair price, and had the job done faster than expected. Enclosed truck, no mess left behind. Will use again without question.”
Mark R.
Sawtell — Garage & Yard Cleanout
“We use The Junk Removers regularly for end-of-lease cleanouts and abandoned goods removal. Reliable, properly insured, and always professional. The enclosed truck makes a big difference when clearing rental properties.”
Property Manager, Mid North Coast

“We had a hoarder situation that had built up over many years. John was completely non-judgmental, patient, and practical. He worked through it systematically without making us feel embarrassed. Absolute lifesaver.”

“Used Pick Up Pros to collect IKEA furniture from Sydney. Saved us a fortune compared to IKEA delivery and the whole thing was seamless. John communicated the whole way and everything arrived in perfect condition.”
James P.
