Fast, affordable rubbish removal anywhere in Christchurch — simply box it, bag it, and book it online.

Got a growing pile of junk cluttering up your home, garage or shed? Whether you’re clearing out before a move, sorting out the spare room, or just doing a long-overdue clean-up, Rubbish Pickup NZ makes rubbish removal easy.

Our Boxed & Bagged Rubbish Removal service is perfect for all those small-to-medium household items that don’t need a skip but are too much for the red bin. Just box or bag your rubbish, select how many you’ve got at checkout, and we’ll collect it right from your driveway anywhere in Christchurch.

🧹 What Is Boxed & Bagged Rubbish Removal?

This service is designed for smaller, manageable amounts of junk that are already contained in boxes or bags. Instead of paying for a big skip or spending your weekend at the dump, you can:

  • Box or bag your rubbish at your own pace

  • Choose the size that matches what you’ve packed

  • Add the quantity you need at checkout

  • Choose your pickup day — and we’ll do the rest

We collect from homes, flats, garages, businesses, and building sites all across Christchurch. From central city apartments in Riccarton and Addington to family homes in Halswell, Rolleston, and Hornby, we’ve got you covered.

📦 What We Can Take

We remove most non-hazardous household and light commercial waste, as long as it’s in a secure bag or box and within the weight limit.

Common examples include:

  • Garage or shed junk (old paint trays, gardening bits, hardware packaging)

  • General household clean-ups (linen, clothing, toys, books, cables, chargers)

  • Packed kitchenware, small appliances, and pantry clear-outs

  • Old paperwork, office clutter, and business packaging

  • Bagged garden clippings or light green waste

  • Seasonal decorations or unused sports gear

💡 If it fits in a bag or box and isn’t hazardous, we can probably take it.
And if you’ve also got larger items (like mattresses, whiteware or furniture), you can add them to your order at checkout — we collect all sorts of junk, not just bags and boxes.
