Once you’ve unpacked, we come to you and collect your used moving boxes — no borrowed trailers, no trips to the tip, no hassle. Book a pick up time that suits you, and we’ll take it from there.
Moving boxes pick up is exactly what it sounds like — once you’ve settled into your new home and emptied out your cartons, we come to you and collect them. It’s the bookend to a move that most removalists forget about. We supply the boxes at the start, help you pack and transport them, and then, when you’re done, we take the empty boxes off your hands instead of leaving you to break them down, store them, or find a place to recycle them.
For us, it’s part of running a genuinely full-service move. We know that after a house move, the last thing anyone wants is another chore, so we built box pick up into the way we work rather than treating it as an afterthought.
Most requests for pick up come in the week or two after a move, once a household has had time to unpack the kitchen, bedrooms, and everything in between. We also hear from customers who ordered more boxes than they needed and simply want the surplus collected before it takes over a spare room. Businesses relocating offices around Mullumbimby often need a same-week collection so they can hand storage rooms back to a landlord on time. Whatever the reason, we schedule pick ups around your timeline, not the other way around.
Booking a collection with us is straightforward. You give us a call or send an enquiry once you know roughly how many boxes need collecting and when, and we lock in a time that suits your household or business. On the day, our team arrives, loads the boxes, and leaves your space clear — no lifting, no folding, no trips to the recycling centre required on your part.
We service Mullumbimby directly, along with the broader Northern Rivers region, so whether you’re just up the road or out toward Byron Bay or Lismore, we can usually fit a collection into our regular run through the area.
Our box pick up service covers more than just grabbing a stack of cartons off your porch. We collect standard moving boxes, wardrobe cartons, and packing crates, and we’ll also take loose packing materials like paper and bubble wrap where it’s still in reusable condition. If you’re still mid-move and need boxes delivered rather than collected, our packing boxes service covers that end of things too — many of our customers use both, ordering boxes for the move and booking pick up once they’re finished with them.
Customers who need a broader hand with the move itself, not just the boxes, often pair this with our house removals service, so the whole job — packing, moving, and clean-up — is handled by one team from start to finish.
Breaking down boxes and finding somewhere to dispose of them sounds simple until you’re actually doing it after a long moving week. Here’s how the two approaches compare:
| DIY Disposal | Professional Pick Up With Us | |
|---|---|---|
| Time required | Hours flattening boxes and driving to recycling | A few minutes to schedule, we handle the rest |
| Transport needed | Your own vehicle, often multiple trips | Included as part of our service |
| Physical effort | Lifting, folding, loading yourself | None — our team does the loading |
| Environmental outcome | Boxes often binned rather than reused | Good-condition boxes reused for future moves |
| Cost of your time | High, especially post-move fatigue | Minimal — booked around your schedule |
Repeat business tells us a lot about what we’re doing right. Households across Mullumbimby, and offices relocating around the Northern Rivers, come back to us not just for removals but for the smaller services that make a move genuinely stress-free — box delivery and pick up included. We’ve also built a name for ourselves further afield, supporting moves into and out of the Gold Coast, and closer to home in Murwillumbah, where local families know they can call us for the parts of a move that other removalists skip.
We built our reputation on being the removalist people call a second time, and that only happens when the details — like taking the empty boxes away — actually get done.
If you’ve got a pile of empty boxes taking up space after your move, get in touch with us and we’ll organise a pick up that fits your schedule. Call us or send through an enquiry today for a free quote, and let Dan’s Removals take one more job off your plate.
