Updating your bathroom fixtures or renovating your kitchen sink can instantly upgrade your space, transforming your home into a modern and functional haven for everyday living.
But before you can enjoy your space and appreciate the upgrades, you need to dispose of your old kitchen sink or toilet, something most homeowners dread. These materials are not just heavy but are also bulky and unsanitary. You can’t lift it without pulling a muscle or breaking your back, and of course, maneuvering it through the hallway and out of the driveway is a nightmare.
The only solution to removing all types of bulky wastes, such as old kitchen sinks and toilets from your home is to hire a professional. Aus Rubbish Removals is your reliable muscle, the choice of Sydney renovators and tradies. We understand that porcelain and cast-iron are incredibly heavy and unhygienic. So, let our team handle all the safe removal for you.
The Heavy, Unhygienic Reality of Plumbing Waste
Never try to dispose of old kitchen sinks, toilets, or vanities yourself. Only a professional can handle heavy and unhygienic plumbing waste, ensuring your and your family’s safety.
The Weight & Danger
Old porcelain toilets and cast-iron sinks are deceptively heavy, requiring at least two people to adequately lift and move them out of the house and into the driveway. One false move and you drop porcelain; it could shatter into razor-sharp shards and chunks that can easily cause severe lacerations. And of course, dropping a cast-iron sink is an instant recipe for a broken foot.
Hygiene Factors
No one wants an old, leaking toilet sitting in the garage or in the back of their SUV! If you decide to take an old toilet to the tip yourself, you risk residual water in your car, soaking carpets and car seats and turning your vehicle into a smelly pig sty. Eventually, you end up spending more money on having your car professionally cleaned.
Council Rejections
So why not leave an old toilet in the bin or on the kerbside? Standard red bins will not accept building materials, including porcelain and cast iron. Councils can fine residents for leaving unhygienic toilets on the kerb during standard clean-ups.
What We Take: Bathroom & Kitchen Fixtures
Aus Rubbish Removals takes all types of construction waste, including bathroom and kitchen fixtures, ensuring they are properly sorted and recycled.
Toilets, Bidets & Urinals
Our team takes all types of bathroom fixtures, including two-piece ceramic toilets, back-to-wall suites, plastic cisterns, and commercial bathroom urinals. Whether it’s from a home, school, office, or commercial establishment, we take special care in handling these unhygienic materials and ensuring proper disposal.
Kitchen & Laundry Sinks
Sinks come in all shapes and sizes. From large, high-capacity laundry sinks to small bathroom units, we can dispose of these for you on the same day. We take stainless steel double-bowls, heavy cast-iron sinks or enamel farmhouse sinks, and composite stone laundry tubs.
Vanities & Bathroom Cabinetry
Aside from sinks and toilets, we also take care of vanities and bathroom vanities, ensuring every waste is hauled, and your space is clear before the next wave of tradies completes the renovation. Our team can clear out bulky furniture such as water-damaged MDF bathroom vanities, mirrored shaving cabinets, and ripped-out laminate benchtops.
Tapware, Pipes & Screens
And our work does not stop once sinks and toilets are hauled into our large trucks. We sweep up surrounding debris, collect rusted brass tapware, copper pipes, PVC offcuts, and shattered glass shower screens. We collect and sort these materials, then take them to specialised recycling facilities for further processing.
Skip Bins vs. Hands-On Fixture Removal
The idea of simply throwing an old toilet into a skip bin may seem good until you realise the following points.
The Shatter Hazard
Tossing a heavy toilet or ceramic sink into a skip bin guarantees it will shatter, creating a layer of sharp, extremely dangerous porcelain material that can endanger anyone who unloads the bin. But with our hand-loaded service, we safely load these materials into our truck and drive away. Our services are safe and swift; you can reclaim your space on the same day.
No Heavy Lifting
With skip bin hire, you risk a slipped disc while carrying a 40kg cast-iron sink to the street and lifting it into the bin. With our team and equipment, we handle all the physical labour, from the kitchen and bathroom to our trucks.
Cost-Effective
Toilets and sinks are bulky and leave awkward air gaps in skip bins. This means you’re paying for empty space! On the other hand, we efficiently load your junk into our trucks and charge you purely by the volume of the waste.
Eco-Friendly Sorting: Metals, Masonry & Plastics
Aus Rubbish Removals is all about eco-friendly waste removal. We are committed to sustainable waste management, helping tradies, contractors, and DIYers safely and properly dispose of all types of garbage.
Because bathroom strip-outs generate highly recyclable materials, our team takes great care to haul, sort, and transport them to Sydney’s specialised recycling facilities.
We guarantee that stainless steel sinks, brass tapware, and copper pipes are sent for scrap metal recycling. Meanwhile, clean porcelain and ceramic are often crushed and repurposed as construction aggregate. With our efforts and your cooperation, we can all help reduce waste dumped in landfills.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to disconnect the toilet or sink before you arrive?
Yes. For safety and compliance, disconnect all plumbing fixtures from the main water supply and drainage pipes. You may do this yourself or hire a licensed plumber before we arrive.
Can you remove an old, heavy cast-iron bathtub?
Yes, we do. Cast-iron tubs may be incredibly heavy, but our team has the equipment and the muscle to safely lift, maneuver, and load them without damaging your walls or floors.
Will you take the leftover bathroom tiles and rubble, too?
We provide comprehensive waste removal, along with your toilet and sink. We can also take smashed ceramic tiles, old waterproofing membranes, and timber-framing offcuts.
