Efficient Junk Removal in Coffs Harbour: A Family Business Since 2003

Clutter builds up in homes and businesses without anyone noticing, and then one day it takes over the garage, the spare room or the back shed. In Coffs Harbour, finding a junk removal service that is reliable, clearly priced and careful with your property can take some time. This article explains how we work and what you can expect from us.

We are The Junk Removers & Pick Up Pros, a family-owned business run by John and Leanne Cook. We started in 2003 as a one-man scrap metal operation. Over the years the work has grown into rubbish removal, property clear-outs, small moves and pickup and delivery services, still run by the same family.

The jobs we handle in Coffs Harbour

• Household rubbish and general clutter
• Old furniture, mattresses and whitegoods
• Garage, shed and storage clean-outs
• Garden and green waste
• Property clear-outs for rentals and sales
• Commercial and office clear-outs
• Small moves and furniture pickup and delivery

If you are unsure whether an item is suitable, send a photo. We do not take asbestos or any waste involving bodily fluids.

Our truck and equipment

We work from an enclosed Isuzu Pantech with a 600 kg tail-lift. The enclosed body keeps items secure and out of sight in transit. The tail-lift means heavy items such as fridges and chests of drawers are lifted rather than carried down driveways or steps. Dollies, straps, blankets and roller boards are part of every job.

How we quote

Photos come first. Text clear pictures of the items, your suburb and the access details to 0415 540 055. We reply with a confirmed price before you book. Our starting points are a minimum pickup from $110, with quarter, half, three-quarter and full loads at $498.99, $998.99, $1,498.99 and $1,998.99. Travel time is built into each quote.

Insurance and the people behind the job

We carry $20M public liability cover, together with goods-in-transit and workers' compensation insurance. John and Leanne oversee the quotes and bookings, so the person who gives you the price is responsible for the job.

Responsible disposal

Where practical, we separate metal, e-waste and good-condition furniture for recycling or donation before anything goes to landfill. Green waste goes to suitable facilities, and the remainder goes to licensed facilities. We will tell you what happens to larger items if you ask.

Booking

Once you accept a quote, we confirm a time. Same-day attendance is subject to availability, so contact us early in the day if you need it quickly. If we cannot attend when you ask, we will tell you the earliest time we can come.

Who we work for

Our customers include homeowners clearing a garage, renters handing back a property, families preparing a house for sale, and small businesses managing storage and waste. Each job is quoted from the photos and access details, so the price fits the work rather than a generic package.

Working in older homes and busy streets

Many of the homes we visit around Coffs Harbour are older, with narrow hallways, steep driveways and limited parking on the street. Our crew plans the route from the items to the truck before lifting. Where a job needs a second person or extra equipment, we tell you when we quote.

Keeping the job clear

We confirm what is being removed before the crew starts, and we tell you before any extra work is done. If something you did not expect appears on the day, the crew will discuss it with you first.
