Brisbane and Queensland White Goods Removal

clearout junk removal rubbish removal whitegoods No Comments

If you’ve avoided buying whitegoods that connect to the Internet for fear of them downloading music and buying stuff on eBay, I have some bad news.  From the moment you plugged in your fridge, freezer, washing machine, dryer, oven or dishwasher, it’s been communicating with your other whitegoods. But they’re not talking about the latest album they downloaded, or the eBay item they just put a bid on.  Instead, they’re working out the most inconvenient time to break down.  And it’s a fine line. If they break down too early, they’ll probably be repaired under warranty. And if they leave it too late, they may be replaced before they have the chance to destroy your clothes and spoil your food.

Your fridge and freezer will probably go first, because they know how much you love food. Right now you might not think it’s such a bad thing. Your house feels pretty much like a freezer anyway, so you could just leave everything out on the kitchen bench.

How to Make Money from Spring Cleaning and Garage Sales

clearout junk removal rubbish removal No Comments

With summer just around the corner, in Queensland we are heading into garage sale season. There’s simply no better time to clear out all the junk and rubbish lurking around the house or in the garage! However, before you toss all those unwanted items straight into the trash, check out our top tips for how to make a few extra dollars for Christmas fun. It’s easy to make some cash from items you throw out during your spring clean – a garage sale is just one suggestion.

1. Trade in DVDs, books and computer games
DVDs, books and computer games are popular commodities and the options for selling them online and in person are immense. Second hand bookshops will often buy books off you and either give you cash or store credit in return. Websites like bookon.com.au or fishpond.com.au can also be good places to sell books including textbooks. Dixons Recycled will buy CD’s, DVD’s, Blurays and LP’s and even cassettes, posters, music books, and collectables if they are of some value. Ziffit.com is another option for selling books, CD’s, and DVD’s, and they also allow you to sell your computer games.

2. Resell Name Brand Clothing
If you have name brand clothing that is still in good condition, bundle it up and sell it to specialty clothing shops. These stores will often also buy clothing-related accessories like belts, shoes, hats, handbags and wallets. So, if your wardrobe is full of last season designer wear or trendy clothes, you could make a big chunk of change.

3. Make Money from Scrap Metal
If you have old copper pipes lying around, consider trading them to a scrap metal merchant. The most profitable scrap metals include copper, aluminium, brass, stainless steel, iron, lead, gold and silver. At the time of writing you can make anywhere between $4 and $6 per kilo of copper, or $0.20 to $1.50 per kilo of aluminium depending on the quality of the metal and the dealer you sell it to.

4. Sell Remaining Items at Garage Sale
Hosting a garage sale is a convenient way to sell anything you no longer need, including bric-a-brac, household furniture, sporting goods and much more. You can advertise on Craigslist, Gumtree and in the local newspaper and spread the word to friends and family. It is possible to make a few hundred dollars simply by giving up one day at the weekend to host a garage sale.

5. Let Us Get Rid of Anything That Doesn’t Sell for You

Shop Fitout Clearout

You’re about to open the door to your new premises.

Right now you’re struggling to open the doors for yourself. You’re so excited your hand is shaking, making it hard to get the key in the lock. Mind you, that could also be due to the cramp in your hand from signing so much paperwork for the shop lease.

You eventually unlock the door, and with a bit of a shove manage to swing it open. There’s power, so you turn on the lights and…

… it’s perfect.

It’s a nice building in a great location, and the fitout crew worked sheer magic so you could open to the public on time with everything ready to go.

But that wasn’t the story a few days ago.  OK so you didn’t expect it to be in pristine condition.  After all, you’re not the first business to use this space. But it looked like the previous tenants had spent their last few hours practising their telekinesis.

There was broken furniture all over the floor, along with a few cupboard doors. The cupboards themselves were hanging by a couple of nails, as if it took a few pulls to realise they weren’t portable.

There was even a sink in the middle of the floor, which either came from the kitchen area of was part of a very interesting water feature.

Luckily the shop fitters knew their stuff.  The place was gutted and all the junk removed—quickly and efficiently ready for the new shop fitting.

And that’s where the team at Brizzy Rubbish Removals were able to help. Experts at removing rubbish for shop fitouts, athey knew how important it is to get it done quickly and efficiently.  Just give them a call and they’ll collect all the junk and take it away. And you won’t need to life a finger.

Which is probably just as well, because you really should rest that hand.

 

 

 

 

Renovation Rubbish Rescue

rubbish removal No Comments

I don’t want to alarm you (well, not much anyway), but there’s a real chance that at some point in the future you will be overcome by the need to renovate.

You may not think it could ever happen to you. After all, you’ve managed to get through life so far without succumbing to planking, Facebook or Justin Bieber.

But all it takes is a few episodes of The Block, a month of nagging from your partner or one too many Bunnings commercials, and suddenly you’ll think you’re a jack-of-all-trades instead of someone who knows jack.

Before you know it you’re digging random holes for a deck, chipping away tiles in the bathroom or taking out an entire wall (and quite possibly the electricity).

If you’re lucky, you’ll come to your senses before it’s too late (i.e. before you start) and either abandon the idea or get a professional to finish the job. But be warned: you may be so determined/stubborn/delusional that you keep going until either the job’s done or the beer runs out.

And the result? Well, you could have a new deck in your back yard, a freshly tiled bathroom or an ‘open-plan’ living area. Or, if you insisted on doing it yourself, a tiled deck in the middle of the lounge room. (“Well, we’ve always wanted a dancefloor…”)

Regardless of who did the work, one thing you’ll definitely have is a large pile of debris. And as much as you’d like to keep all those timber offcuts, broken tiles and beer bottles as a monument to all your hard work, your partner will think it’s an eyesore. And considering how the bathroom now looks, that’s quite a statement.

Now you could try getting rid of it yourself, but chances are you’ll miss a tile fragment or something, which is just asking for trouble. Even if your partner doesn’t notice it straight away, they will when your lawn mower sends it hurtling through the lounge room window. After all, there’s nothing worse than broken glass on the dancefloor.

A much better option is to give Brizzy Rubbish Removals a call. They’ll quickly come around to your house, remove all the renovation rubble and debris and take it away for you. You won’t have to lift a finger, which is just as well because it’s quite sore.

Instead, you can simply enjoy the fruits of your labours. See you on the dance floor.
