Installing new blinds can instantly update a home or office. But while your new window looks amazing, that pile of old, dusty, tangled, and broken vertical blinds and heavy timber shutters is turning your driveway or hallway into an eyesore. Before you can even enjoy your new room, you need to remove that mountain of waste fast.
Quick home-renovation waste removal is what makes Aus Rubbish Removals shine in Sydney. We are a Sydney household waste removal company, local experts in moving all types of renovation waste, such as old blinds and shutters, through tight hallways, commercial elevators, and driveways. Our experience and hands-off service make us the best choice.
The Headache of Disposing of Old Window Furnishings
Old window furnishings are bulky and awkward, making them impractical for disposal in standard bins and for a weekend trip to the tip.
Standard Bins
While it may seem easy to just toss your old blinds into a bin, council red bins strictly reject long items, such as blinds, shutters, and accessories, because they prevent the lid from closing. Also, mixing these wastes with other forms of trash can contaminate recycling efforts.
Kerbside Clean-ups
When left on the kerbside for council clean-ups, curtain tracks and tangled cords can become a trip hazard. You should never leave these out for pick-up, as most don’t take them.
Vehicle Damage
Assuming you decide to take your old window fixtures to the tip, you need a large vehicle to haul them. A 2-4 metre rigid timber plantation shutter will never fit a standard family SUV. You either end up with scratched leather seats and interiors or a cracked windshield.
What We Take: Types of Blinds & Shutters
Council bins, kerbside pickups, and DIY trips to the tip are no match for our hands-on blinds-and-shutters collection. We handle bulky waste removal from homes, offices, or commercial establishments.
Plantation Shutters & Exterior Louvres
We have the right equipment, trucks, and manpower to clear heavy, rigid window coverings, including solid timber plantation shutters, modern PVC/faux wood shutters, and exterior aluminium security shutters. These materials are highly recyclable, so we take them to specialised recycling facilities for efficient processing.
Venetian & Vertical Blinds
Venetian and vertical type blinds are notorious for their long, easily tangled cords. Our team can quickly remove these messy window treatments, including old slimline aluminium venetians, heavy timber venetians, and fabric vertical blinds, which are common in older homes and offices. You don’t need to untangle or cut cables because we’ve got everything covered.
Roller, Roman & Panel Glide Blinds
Fabric-based blinds such as blockout roller blinds, screen/sunscreen blinds, pleated Roman blinds, and large panel glide systems for sliding glass doors are bulky, heavy, and a nuisance when left in a driveway or kerbside. Our team can clear these on the same day, so you can reclaim your space quickly.
Tracks, Pelmets & Fittings
Aside from fabrics, slats, and cords, we also remove blinds and shutter components, including long aluminium curtain tracks, timber pelmets, brackets, and motorised blind headboxes. Everything connected and related to your windows, we take and dispose of properly.
Commercial Office Defits vs. Residential Cleanouts
Our rubbish removal services cater to residential and commercial clients in Sydney. Expect nothing but the best in same-day cleanouts, no matter the occasion.
Residential
We offer delicate, white-glove rubbish removal services to all residential customers. Our team will handle all the heavy lifting and hauling from start to finish, with extra care to ensure we don’t leave a mess on your carpet or scratch your hardwood floors or walls. And before we leave, we make sure the area is dust-free so you can finally enjoy your newly renovated home.
Commercial
An office strip-out or end-of-lease cleanout leaves hundreds of blinds and shutter waste. From aluminium venetians to commercial roller blinds, our team can clear an entire floor of commercial or office junk quickly with our large fleet capacity trucks and hauling equipment. We partner with facility managers to help them meet strict end-of-lease “make-good” deadlines.
Skip Bins vs. Hands-On Same-Day Removal in Sydney
If kerbside pickups, council bins, and DIY tip trips won’t cut it, can skip bins solve blinds and shutter disposal problems?
No Wasted “Air Space”
Skip bins come in different sizes, but even if you rent the largest one, disposing of long plantation shutters and rolled-up blinds in it is simply a waste of money. These materials create massive gaps in bins; thus, you’re paying for empty air. Meanwhile, our team will hand-load all waste into our trucks, packing them efficiently so you only pay for the exact volume your waste occupies.
Same-Day Service
Hiring a skip bin means a large trash can will sit on your lawn for a week. It’s not just an eyesore but can kill grass and surrounding plants. Also, skip bins require council permits, which is an extra expense on top of the rental. On the other hand, our team arrives on site, loads the old blinds and shutters, and leaves that day. Everything is taken care of quickly and efficiently.
Zero Labour
With a skip bin, you have to haul heavy shutters and blinds yourself. With our services, all you need to do is point to the rubbish, and we haul it up for you. We do all the heavy lifting from inside your property to our heavy-duty trucks. Book your same-day blinds removal to clear your space fast.
Eco-Friendly Sorting & Recycling
Sydney residents and councils care deeply about diverting rubbish from landfills, protecting the environment, and preserving health. Our services are eco-friendly, ensuring that rubbish is sorted and recycled.
Recycling Blinds and Shutters
Blinds are primarily made of composite materials such as fabric, plastic, and metal, all of which are recyclable. With help from our team, who will sort these materials, you can ensure valuable resources, such as extruded aluminium from venetian blinds and tracks, and clean timbers, are sent to specialised recycling facilities.
In recycling plants, aluminium parts are further sorted, cleaned, shredded, and melted to form raw material for new products. Meanwhile, clean timbers are inspected for rot, cleaned, and either reused or reprocessed into wood chips, mulch, or particleboard (MDF).
Frequently Asked Questions
