About hard rubbish pickup
Councils typically offer one or two free hard rubbish collections a year, and they book out or exclude items like mattresses and tyres. Private pickup fills that gap: you choose the day, and items that councils refuse are handled with the correct disposal fees. Expect per-item pricing for mattresses and fridges because both carry processing charges.
Getting quotes in Cotham
For hard rubbish pickup, ask each rubbish removalist two things up front: the all-inclusive price, and how soon they can attend Cotham. If the job is not urgent, saying so can shave real money off the quote, since operators can slot you into an existing Boroondara run.

Quick answers
What will rubbish removalists not take?+
Asbestos, chemicals, paint, gas bottles and wet concrete are refused by general operators; they need licensed disposal. Most crews take everything else, including green waste, furniture, whitegoods and renovation offcuts. If in doubt, mention the item when you request the quote.
Where does the rubbish actually go?+
Legitimate operators sort loads at transfer stations: green waste to composting, metal and cardboard to recycling, reusable furniture to charity, and only the remainder to landfill. Ask how much of the load is diverted; a good operator can answer. Illegally dumped waste is traced back to the property owner, so avoid suspiciously cheap unmarked utes.
Do I need to be home for the pickup?+
Not if the rubbish is accessible: many jobs run from a driveway, verge or unlocked side gate with payment by phone. For indoor clear-outs someone needs to let the crew in and confirm what stays. Either way, agree on the pile contents beforehand so nothing wanted disappears.
