6 Easy Steps To A Rubbish Free Office!

It’s time to organise the troops, organise the office and declare war on rubbish with a Brizzy Rubbish Removals Rubbishpolooza! We load, you relax - too easy!

Call in Brizzy Rubbish Removals to do the whole job – we can take all of your office clutter away from anywhere in Brisbane City and Greater Brisbane, and we’ll even clean up afterwards. All you have to do is point out what needs to be removed from where. Or, if you’d rather do it all yourself, we’ll just take it all away after you get it all ready for removal!

Clutter, old files, waste packaging, broken office chairs, and of course, that server from 1997 – it’s all just rubbish getting in the way of your staff doing great business. Organising an office de-cluttering can be easier than you think, with a little help from your staff, your cleaners and Brizzy Rubbish Removals.


1. Get organised. Make a list of all the areas that need attention and all the rubbish that needs to go. Allocate a staff member or team to be in charge of de-cluttering each area. Plan how you will move your rubbish out of the office and to a collection point (usually in your car park). Check with your building’s body corporate if you have any concerns. Consider if there is room for improvement on your current office lay out, this could be a good time to shuffle those desks around and use your space better. You may also wish to book a carpet cleaning service to really complete the clean up. Book a free consultation with a Brizzy Rubbish Removalist so you know roughly how much needs to go and all the ways we can help you!

2. Hold Rubbishpolooza 2010. Motivate your staff to do an excellent job by providing incentives and treats. Turn this usually dreaded task into a fun, friendly team building experience by offering prizes for a job well done. After the big de-clutter, offer refreshments and some social time, and use the whole event to improve the relationships in your team and the cleanliness of your workplace.

3. Give plenty of notice. Choose a quiet day and time and email all staff well in advance. This gives them time to plan for the disruption and to consider what should go from their own work stations. Allow plenty of time, better to have time left over than to be stuck with clutter!

4. Get ready to clean! Have plenty of cleaning products and rubbish bags on hand. If there are areas that your cleaners have not accessed in some time, ensure you have a vacuum and dusters on hand. If there are heavy items such as furniture and computers, Brizzy Rubbish Removals can help. The night before your Rubbishpolooza, have staff clear away items on their desks ready for a big dusting and spring cleaning in the morning. It’s also a good idea to ensure your first aid kit is fully stocked and to remind staff of correct lifting techniques just in case.

5. CLEAN! On the big day, get everybody motivated and excited about the big event (prizes and doughnuts work a treat). As staff members complete tasks, tick off your check list and have extra jobs ready for fast workers. Ensure there is plenty of water available. Leave instructions for cleaners to go over newly emptied areas to ensure there is no residual dust. Organise a pick up point with Brizzy Rubbish Removals and we’ll take it from there!

6. Plan for no next time! A clean, clutter free, well organised office might just bring renewed vigour and motivation to your staff. So, have a plan ready for using your new space more effectively so that it doesn’t become a rubbish pile again any time soon.

If it all sounds too hard, call in Brizzy Rubbish Removals for an obligation free quote to do the lot. We’ll take out your trash!

Office Rubbish Clearout & Removal

Whether you are moving office, have completed a new office fitout or have just had an office cleanup ready for the New Year, there's often an awful lot of junk left over that needs to be removed! We know because we've seen it all before! Most of our commercial rubbish removal clients are located in the Brisbane CBD where you don't really want to be using a skip bin and prefer to have all junk removed ASAP (without lifting a finger beyond making that initial enquiry!). Our professional removalists take away everything from old computers (which we recycle) to broken office furniture, carpet and LEFTOVER fitout garbage. The New Year is often the perfect time for an office clearout too. Many are still on holidays so it can be quiet whilst everyone is getting back into the swing of things after Christmas. We have more time to get organised than what's normally available during the busy times when day to day pressures of an inner city office take over. Our commercial rubbish removal clients are varied, from small businesses to large corporations plus we have a number of body corporate managers on our books for some well known Brisbane retail centres. Ask about these when you call to get your junk removed and get organised for 2010!

Seasons Greetings

Brizzy Rubbish Removals would like to thank all clients for their support this year. We've been able to help a huge range of people with diverse rubbish and junk collection needs. Everything from shop and office clean-ups to apartments and home rubbish removals. Stay safe over the holiday period and have a great time with family and friends - see you again next year! Note that we are still open for business and still taking new bookings for rubbish collection for both existing and new clients. All the best, Mike.

Retail Rubbish

Christmas is on the horizon again and with that comes a massive increase in the amount of rubbish generated from packaging and wrapping at retail shopping centres. In fact many commercial business experience an increase in rubbish at this time of year (of course) as deliveries are massively increased in preparation for the Christmas boom. It's great to see many centres have finally implemented recycling bins in the food courts (this has been happening overseas for many years already) but what's happening 'out the back' of the offices and shops? What happens to the rest of the commercial waste and rubbish? Not all centres provide access to skip bins and it's not always convenient to have to wait for a replacement when they are already overflowing. When time is limited and you want rubbish out of sight and out of mind ASAP a truck and a dedicated rubbish removalist is often the most convenient solution.

Be nice to your planet with computer recycling in Brisbane

E-waste and computer recycling is a hot topic at the moment, particularly due to the speed at which "new" technology quickly becomes obsolete. With many small businesses taking advantage of the Australian Government's recent 50% Investment Allowance to update their computer equipment, the question on everyone's lips is "What do we do with our old computers?"

Fondly known as WEEE, or "Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment", you could stockpile this surplus in a storeroom somewhere in case Windows 3.1 ever comes back into fashion, but you'd be doing your company, your staff and the planet a favour by choosing to recycle the computers instead. The question then becomes "Where can we find a computer recycler in Brisbane?"

Brizzy Rubbish Removals are local and their professional teams will come to your Brisbane metro or Brisbane CBD business and collect and dispose of your computers and old office equipment at Brisbane's premier recycling stations.

The Winter Cleanup

The cold nights and cool windy days are a sure sign that winter is upon us. Now is the time to get ready for spring by getting a little dirty in your garden.

Where do I start?

Get out a pen and make a plan. Even the trickiest cleanups can be accomplished when you have a clear idea on how to tackle it. It also helps you to focus and cut cleanup time. You may want to organise your rubbish removal service in the planning stage. Organising your rubbish removal now will give you a cleanup deadline.

Okay so what’s the plan of attack?

You should remove all plants and outdoor features that didn’t make it through the winter. The recent rain may have caused irreparable damage to some of your plants and outdoor furniture. Remove these and any other plants that won’t make it to spring.

Next you should cut back plants and trees to promote spring growth and reduce the risk of a tree falling, which could take power lines and part of your home down with it. Most trees and plants benefit from a good pruning, so don’t spare your trees feelings. If you cut back just to clear the power lines, then you will require another prune in next to no time and pruning new growth will damage and stunt trees.

Finally, get Brizzy Rubbish Removals to remove your garden waste. You should always remove the garden waste from your property quickly to help reduce weed outbreaks and the fire hazard (plus piles of garden rubbish are a bit of an eyesore).

Is your Garage filled with Rubbish and Junk?

A very wise person once pointed out how silly it was that we fill our garages with useless junk and clutter while parking our most valuable possession in the driveway. If this sounds like you then maybe it's time to clean up and clear out your garage!

Brizzy Rubbish Removals have compiled a "How To" for cleaning out your garage to make things a little easier for you.

How to Clear Out Your Garage with Brizzy Rubbish Removals:

1. Check the Brisbane weather report to make sure there's no rain forecast, then gather up a few likely friends or family members to help out - it helps if you offer snacks and drinks, and put on some energising music.

2. Take everything out of the garage and sort it into three piles: "Rubbish", "Donate" and "Sell". Anything that doesn't go on one of those piles gets put neatly back in your garage.

3. Call Brizzy Rubbish Removals on 1300 BRIZZY (1300 274 999) to take away the "Rubbish" pile for you. Don't worry about boxing it up, or hiring a skip bin... just point them at the rubbish pile and leave them to it. To make it even easier, you can book the rubbish removal service online.

4. Load the Donate pile into your car to drop off at one of the charity collection bins, or if you have bigger items then call them to come and collect it for you. With the "Sell" pile, you can either box it up ready for a garage sale, or acquaint yourself with one of the many online auction sites or classified newspapers.

5. And finally, once you have finished, park your most valuable possession back where it belongs where it will be protected from the weather and opportunistic crims. (Your insurer might even drop your premiums a little once you are parking in a locked garage again - why not ring and ask them?).

We said it was going to be easy, didn't we?
