Clearing Maroochydore, one load at a time
Maroochydore is the Sunshine Coast's commercial and civic heart, and with that comes a steady stream of junk that needs to go somewhere. Whether you're a homeowner in a Cotton Tree unit doing a long-overdue cleanout, a business clearing an office in the CBD, or a tradie finishing a renovation in Mountain Creek, Pickup Pals is the call to make.
We operate throughout the full Maroochydore region: the CBD, Cotton Tree, Mooloolaba, Alexandra Headland, Kuluin, Kunda Park, Mountain Creek and Bokarina. If you're not sure whether we service your street, just call. We almost certainly do.

Common jobs we do in Maroochydore
Unit and apartment cleanouts
Maroochydore and Cotton Tree have a high concentration of units and apartments, and end-of-lease cleanouts are one of our most common jobs in the area. We're comfortable with lifts, stairwells and tight parking situations. We'll clear everything from old furniture and appliances to bags of general rubbish, and we leave the place ready for your property manager's inspection.
Commercial office clearances
Businesses relocating or closing in Maroochydore's CBD or the Kunda Park and Kuluin industrial precincts need a fast, reliable crew. We handle office furniture, filing cabinets, electronic equipment, partitioning and general fitout rubbish. Tell us your trading hours and we'll book around them where the run allows.
Furniture disposal
Sofas, beds, wardrobes, dining sets: big pieces that won't fit in a skip bin or a regular vehicle. We carry them out, load them and take them to the tip. Pieces still in good shape go to the tip shop rather than landfill.
Renovation rubbish
Tiles, timber, plasterboard, old bathroom fixtures: renovation waste is heavy, awkward and often requires the right disposal stream. We haul it all and sort recyclable materials out of the mix where we can.
Rubbish removal prices in Maroochydore
You'll know the price before we come. These are our prices, all including GST, and they're the same anywhere in the area:
| Load | One person | Two people |
|---|---|---|
| Single item | $109 | $209 |
| Full ute load, in a pile ready to load | $139 | $239 |
| Full ute load, collected from around the property | $189 | $309 |
| Two full ute loads, in a pile | $269 | $419 |
| Two full ute loads, collected | $369 | $519 |
The tip fee is added at cost, with no markup, and listed separately. We keep the tip receipt for every load and are happy to send you a copy. Maroochydore loads usually go to the Buderim tip on Syd Lingard Drive. Our tip fees guide lists every council's charges. Saturdays are x1.5, and green waste has its own prices from $175.
Most jobs are a single ute load, which takes about 20 to 40 minutes to load. A bigger clear-out is two loads. A whole house of furniture is quoted on time instead, and we'll tell you which applies when we quote.
A genuine point of difference on pricing: Some junk removal operators build a margin into their tip fees. We don't. You pay a service fee for our time and labour, and then the exact transfer station charge, nothing more. We keep the tip receipt for every load and are happy to send you a copy. That's the Pickup Pals way.
