We can offer a flat rate clearance, that is either a set dollar value we pay you for quality estates or a flat rate costs if there is a lot of rubbish.
Otherwise we can charge for collection of goods and the costs of rubbish and related disposals & donations. this transport cost is $80 per hour if only one person is needed. charged from the time we leave the Auction rooms. or $130 per hour for 2 staff if we are moving furniture and bulky items.
