Upper Riccarton runs west from Church Corner, and like its neighbour it's heavy on rentals and student flatting alongside established family homes. Turnover work here is constant, and it peaks hard at the end of the university year.
What we clear in Upper Riccarton
The jobs we get called out for most often around here:
- Flat and rental turnovers
- End-of-year student moveouts
- Abandoned furniture, mattresses and bed bases
- Garage and shed clear-outs
- Light commercial clear-outs along the main road
That's not an exhaustive list. If it isn't hazardous and it fits in the truck, we'll take it — and if you're not sure whether yours counts, send a photo and we'll tell you straight up.
Flats and parking in Upper Riccarton
Main road frontages are busy and flats are often several units deep off one shared driveway. We'll park legally and barrow from the back unit if needed. Landlords with multiple units — we'll do them all in one visit.
Where your junk actually ends up
Not everything that leaves your place goes in a hole in the ground. We sort every load first: anything still usable goes to op shops and reuse charities, metal goes to scrap recyclers, clean timber and green waste get recycled or composted, and e-waste goes to a proper e-waste handler. Only what genuinely can't be reused or recycled ends up at the Parkhouse Road EcoDrop in Sockburn, which is the closest facility to Upper Riccarton.
What it costs
Our starting price is $60, and what you pay after that comes down to how much space your load takes up in the truck and how hard it is to get to. Send us a few photos, we'll come back with a locked-in price, and that's the number you pay — no hourly rate ticking over, no surprise on the day. You only pay once the job's done and you're happy with it.
We're open seven days
We run seven days a week, weekends included — Saturday and Sunday are two of our busiest days, so a weekend clear-out in Upper Riccarton is completely normal for us. Same-day is often possible if you catch us early, and next-day is usually fine. You don't need to be home either, as long as the junk is accessible and we've agreed the details beforehand.
