What we clear

Commercial waste removal for one-off clear-outs.

We scope and price each load before anyone lifts a thing.

    You get what we'll take, when, and the cost in writing before you agree.

  4. 04

    We load it

    Our crew carries it out and loads it at a time that suits your building.

  5. 05

    Disposal

    We take it to a licensed waste facility and can send you the tip receipts.

  6. 06

    A clean if you book one

    Once the space is empty, our cleaners can clean it on the same visit or another.

Removal and cleaning

Clear it out and clean it with one supplier.

Moving out, handing back a lease or getting ready for a new tenant? Once the rubbish is gone, our cleaners do the empty space, including floors, kitchens, washrooms and windows.

  • One booking. Removal and the clean go on the same scope and price.
  • Floors done while they're bare. An empty room is the time to strip and seal vinyl or clean the carpet.
  • Ready for handover. Photos of each cleaned room come through our app for your landlord or agent.

Rubbish removal questions

Questions about commercial rubbish removal.

Straight answers on cost, what we take, where it goes and cleaning up after.

Request a Site Visit
What types of commercial rubbish do you remove?

Emera removes most of what a business throws out, including old furniture and office equipment, shelving, packaging, and waste from a fit-out or small renovation, such as plasterboard offcuts, timber and old fixtures.

We also clear whole offices, warehouses and factories before a move, a refit or the end of a lease. Our crew does the lifting, carrying and loading.

Do you remove hazardous waste or asbestos?

No. Asbestos, chemicals, oils and other hazardous waste need a licensed specialist, and Emera doesn't take them.

If we find any during a clear-out, we leave it untouched, keep people away from it and tell you, so you can book a licensed removalist. If you're not sure about something, send us a photo before the job.

Where does the rubbish go once you take it away?

Emera takes it to a licensed waste facility. We keep the disposal receipts for every load, and you can have copies for your records, so you can show where your waste went if anyone asks.

Can you clean the space once the rubbish is gone?

Yes. Emera's cleaners can follow the removal with a full clean of the empty space, including floors, kitchens, washrooms and windows. Book both together, and they go on one scope and one price.

An empty room is also the time to strip and seal vinyl floors or clean the carpet. Photos of each cleaned room come to you through our app.

How do you price a one-off or periodic job?

Emera prices each one-off or periodic job on what needs doing, how big it is, the access and when we can work. Small jobs, like a few tags or a short list of items, can often be priced from photos.

Bigger jobs, and regular work such as turnovers or scheduled cleans, need a site visit first. Either way you get a written scope and price, and nothing is booked until you agree.
