Clearing a loved one’s home is more than rubbish removal. It means deciding what to keep, what to pass on and what to let go, often while dealing with grief, deadlines and distance.
Just Junk Removals manages the whole clearance for families, executors, solicitors, real estate agents and property managers across Melbourne. We help you sort belongings, set aside what matters, donate and recycle where we can, remove the rest and leave the property ready for sale, settlement or handover.
✓ Respectful & discreet · ✓ End-to-end service · ✓ Remote clearances available
A clear, respectful process that makes a difficult job manageable, and keeps you informed at every step.
We discuss the property, what needs to be removed, what must stay and any deadlines such as settlement, auction or lease end. We can assess on site or from photos.
Family belongings, photographs, documents, valuables and anything nominated by the family are separated from items being removed. Personal papers or keepsakes we find are set aside for you.
Usable belongings are separated for donation where appropriate, recyclable materials are diverted from landfill and unwanted contents are removed responsibly.
Furniture, appliances, household contents, sheds, garages, outdoor areas and any other nominated spaces are cleared.
The property is left cleared, swept and presentable for the family, executor, real estate agent, renovation or sale. We send before-and-after photos on completion.
An estate clearance covers far more than furniture and rubbish. We manage every part of clearing the property, including:
It’s the first question most families ask. Before anything leaves the property, we agree with you how every item will be handled.
Anything the family has identified as important is set aside and left untouched. Photos, documents, keepsakes and valuables stay exactly where you want them.
Usable furniture, clothing and household goods are separated for donation to charity where appropriate, so they can help someone else.
Metals, e-waste, timber, cardboard and other suitable materials are sorted and diverted from landfill.
Only the remaining unwanted items are removed and disposed of responsibly.
Nothing you’ve asked us to keep is removed. If we’re unsure about an item, we stop and check with you first.
Estate clearances for executors, families and property professionals. The person arranging a clearance is often not the homeowner. Whatever your role, we fit around your situation.
The cost of deceased estate clearance in Melbourne varies depending on the size of the property and the volume of items that need to be removed. Smaller properties with fewer belongings are generally quicker to clear, while larger homes with more contents may require additional time, labour, and resources.

We offer same-day and next-day deceased estate clearance across Melbourne, subject to availability. We understand that estates often need to be cleared quickly — whether for a property settlement, a real estate listing, or to meet a legal deadline. Contact us and we'll do everything we can to accommodate your timeframe.
We take a responsible, respectful approach to every item we remove. Wherever possible, furniture, clothing and household goods in good condition are donated to local charities and op shops. Items of potential value are flagged for your consideration before removal. Recyclable materials are sorted and processed appropriately, and only items that cannot be donated or recycled are sent to landfill. We can provide a full breakdown of where items have gone if required for estate records.
No — you don't need to be on-site. Many of our clients are executors, solicitors or family members who live interstate or simply prefer not to be present during the clearance. We're experienced at working remotely under executor authority. We just need access arranged and clear instructions, and we'll handle everything from there, keeping you updated throughout the process.
Yes. Usable furniture, clothing and household goods are separated for donation where appropriate, and recyclable materials are diverted from landfill.
Absolutely. We regularly work with executors and family members who are based interstate or overseas. We can assess the property via photos or a short video walkthrough, provide a firm quote remotely, coordinate access with a local agent or solicitor, and complete the clearance without you needing to be in Melbourne. We'll send you a full update once the property is cleared.
Yes. Just Junk Removals holds full public liability insurance. This is particularly important when working in deceased estate properties prior to settlement or when engaging with solicitors, executors and real estate agents. We're happy to provide proof of insurance on request.
