  If you require an urgent collection, call us and we will find a solution for you.

• Can I put a mattress in the bag?

  Yes, we do accept mattresses. Our bag is big enough to fit a queen size mattress. 

  Make sure the mattress is not on top of your rubbish. If the bag is overfilled we might need to leave your mattress behind. 

• The weight allowance is 750kg, how do I know how much 750kg is?

  Did you know that the weight of a giraffe is around 700 – 800 kg? That shows 750kg is heaps! As long as you don’t fill your bag with lots of dirt and concrete you are more likely below the limit.

• What happens if you go over the weight limit?

  If your bag is over the weight limit, our team might not be able to collect it.

  We will need to leave your bag at your property till you have removed some of the rubbish and content. Unfortunately you will be charged a service fee for the time we spent coming out.

  If you think your bag might be overweight, please contact us before the collection so we can find a solution for you.

• Can more than one bag be picked up at a time?

  Yes, simply book how many collections you need and we remove them all at once.

• Can I leave my bag outside?

  Our Purpose Bag can be left outside.  The bag is designed to let water seep out. 

  However, It’s always best to let it dry after heavy rain or even better, put a tarp over your bag to keep it dry and light. 

• Do I get the bag back?

  No. Unfortunately our Purpose Bag is a single use product. However we are working hard on finding a local recycling solution. Stay tuned for some updates soon.
