Junk & Rubbish Removal in Sha Tin

Trucks are quoted in fractions (minimum, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, full) of a box bed that typically holds 10-15 cubic yards / 8-12 cubic metres. Crews eyeball your pile against the truck. To avoid disputes, ask what the truck's full capacity is and get the quoted fraction written on the job sheet before loading starts.

Same-day and next-day collection is standard for smaller loads in Sha Tin — junk removal fleets route dynamically and fill gaps between big jobs. Whole-house clearances need a scheduled slot, usually within a week. Same-day service sometimes carries a premium; asking for 'first available this week' is often cheaper than 'today'.

Yes — single-item pickup is the minimum-charge tier for most companies. Fridges and freezers cost extra because refrigerant must be removed at licensed facilities, and mattresses often carry a recycling fee. Check your local council or municipality first: many run cheap bulky-waste collections that beat private rates if you can wait a week or two.

Send photos of the pile with something for scale, list large items individually, and mention access (floor, stairs, distance to parking). Volume-based quotes from photos are usually accurate within one price band; on-site quotes are worth it for whole-house clearances. Always confirm whether the quote includes labour, disposal fees and tax.

A single-item pickup runs about HK$200-HK$600, a standard van/truck trip HK$500-HK$1,600, and a full flat clearance HK$1,500-HK$6,000 depending on volume and stair access. Renovation debris is priced separately because of per-tonne disposal charging.

Yes — charities and green groups (e.g. furniture reuse programs) collect good-condition furniture and appliances free, though lead times run days to weeks and condition standards apply. For mixed loads, some clearance crews will split out saleable items and discount the job — ask when quoting.
