The Humble Boys Removals

People ask us this all the time on the phone: “How do I pick a rubbish removal company near me?” It’s a fair question — there are a lot of bakkies with a phone number painted on the door. A good removal company should answer the phone the same day, quote you a fair price up front based on the load, turn up in the window they gave you, and leave your property swept and clean when the truck pulls away. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to on every job, whether it’s one bag of garden clippings or a full house clearance.

If a company won’t give you a rough price over the phone, or can’t tell you which suburbs they actually cover, that’s usually a sign to keep calling around.

How It Works

Step 1: Call or WhatsApp Us

Tell us what needs to go and roughly how much of it there is. A photo over WhatsApp (https://wa.me/+27734023097) helps us quote faster.

Step 2: Get a Straight Answer on Price

We price by load size, not by guesswork. No hidden “disposal fee” that shows up after the truck is loaded.

Step 3: We Collect and Clean Up

Same-day in most areas, or a scheduled slot if that suits you better. We sweep up before we leave — the job isn’t done until the space looks better than when we arrived.

Signs It’s Time to Call a Rubbish Removal Company

Most people wait too long before calling. A pile in the garage or a corner of the garden gets bigger a bit at a time, and it’s easy to stop noticing it. A few signs it’s worth making the call: you’ve been stepping around the same boxes for a month, a renovation has left rubble stacked against the wall, the garden waste from the last storm is still sitting in a heap, or you’re about to move and the thought of sorting it all yourself feels like too much. None of these need to turn into a big project on your side — one call, one visit, and it’s gone.

What Affects the Price

Three things mostly decide the cost: how much there is, what type of waste it is, and how easy it is to get to. A small bag of garden clippings by the gate costs far less than a trailer load of wet building rubble from a second-floor renovation. Heavier materials like concrete and tiles cost more to dispose of responsibly than lighter household junk. And a load sitting right next to the driveway is quicker to load than one at the back of a large property. We take all three into account when we quote, so the price you’re given up front is the price you pay.

Why Local Homeowners and Businesses Choose Us

We’re not a call centre booking jobs for a subcontractor we’ve never met. The same small team that answers the phone is the team that turns up with the truck. That matters when something needs to be handled carefully — an elderly parent’s furniture during a deceased estate clean-up, a tenant’s belongings after a move-out, or a nervous first-time renovator who just wants someone reliable to deal with the mess. We’ve built this business on word of mouth in Johannesburg North, which means every job has to be done properly, because the next customer is often a neighbour of the last one.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does rubbish removal cost?

It depends on how much you have and what type of waste it is. We quote by the load, not by the hour, so you know the number before we start.

Do you offer same-day service?

Yes, in most of the areas we serve, if you call before early afternoon. Johannesburg’s summer storms can push a booking to the next available slot — we’ll tell you straight away if that’s the case.

What can’t you remove?

We can’t take hazardous or medical waste, or large volumes of tyres. Everything else — rubble, garden waste, furniture, general junk — is what we do all day.

Do I need to be home for the collection?

No. Plenty of our customers arrange access and leave the pile marked out for us. We’ll confirm by WhatsApp once it’s done.

Are you insured?

Yes. We carry insurance for our team and vehicles, so you’re covered while we’re on your property.

Do you recycle or donate items where possible?

Where we can, yes. Furniture and appliances still in decent shape are set aside for donation rather than the landfill, and garden waste often goes to a site that turns it into compost. It costs us nothing extra and it means less waste ends up buried for no reason.

What areas outside Randburg, Sandton, Fourways and Midrand do you cover?

We also serve Centurion and are expanding into Krugersdorp. If you’re just outside our main areas, call us anyway — we can often still help or point you to a same-day slot nearby.
