Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about rubbish removal in Christchurch.

How much does rubbish removal cost in Christchurch?+
We price by volume — you only pay for the space your rubbish takes up in the truck, not a fixed skip-bin rate. That usually works out cheaper than hiring a skip, because there's no delivery fee, no permit, and no waiting days for pickup. Call 027 313 8782 with a rough idea of what you have and we'll give you a quick, no-obligation quote.
Is rubbish removal cheaper than hiring a skip bin?+
In most cases, yes. A skip bin sits on your property for days, you do all the loading yourself, and you pay the same price whether it's half full or overflowing. With General Junk, our two-truck team does the lifting and loading, you only pay for the volume we actually take, and it's gone the same day. No permits, no driveway damage, no heavy work for you.
What rubbish can you take away?+
Almost anything non-hazardous: household rubbish, furniture, whiteware and appliances, mattresses, garden and green waste, renovation and construction debris, office and commercial waste, and full house or estate clearances. We can't take hazardous materials like asbestos, chemicals, or gas bottles, but we'll point you to the right service if you have any.
Do you offer same-day rubbish removal in Christchurch?+
Often, yes — depending on the day and how booked up the trucks are. We're a local Christchurch team, so we can frequently fit in same-day or next-day pickups. Call early in the day for the best chance of a same-day slot.
Which areas of Christchurch do you cover?+
We cover all of Christchurch city and the wider Canterbury region, including Riccarton, Papanui, Halswell, Hornby, Sydenham, Beckenham, Burnside, and out to Rolleston, Rangiora, Kaiapoi, Lincoln, and the Selwyn and Waimakariri districts.
Do I need to be home when you collect the rubbish?+
Not always. If the rubbish is accessible — in the garage, driveway, or outside — we can often collect it without you being there, as long as we've confirmed the details and payment beforehand. For inside clearances we'll usually arrange a time that suits you.
