1800-GOT-JUNK? is back on Space Invaders Season 5, helping Australian families transform their homes and lives. Read to learn more!

1800-GOT-JUNK? is back in the spotlight on Space Invaders Season 5, partnering with decluttering expert Peter Walsh, renovation specialist Cherie Barber, and treasure hunter Angie Kent to help families transform their homes. This season, we’re helping even more Australian families experience incredible makeovers, clearing out clutter to make way for beautiful, functional spaces.

1800-GOT-JUNK? teams in Australia step in to handle the tough task of removing everything from construction debris to unwanted items left behind after renovations. Our crews work hard to ensure that as much as possible is recycled, upcycled, or donated.

A look back

1800-GOT-JUNK? is always happy to help by making a difference in the lives of families in the community. Our Australian teams have been proud to lend a hand in supporting the families appearing in Space Invaders since Season 3, like Luke and David, who became overwhelmed by clutter in their small townhouse after Luke went through a personal crisis and leaned on shopping as a coping mechanism. After making efforts to improve their communication, and with some decluttering and impressive renovations, Luke and David were left with an inspiring space to forge a bright future.

In Season 4, 1800-GOT-JUNK? continued to help families like Jo and Efrem– a tight-knit family that was impacted by a sudden accident that left Jo with a shattered kneecap, leading to multiple surgeries, and rendering her unable to work. The Space Invaders team and 1800-GOT-JUNK? went to work tackling their cluttered home, and completely transforming the family’s garage, and their lives.

Frequently asked questions

How does 1-800-GOT-JUNK? charge for junk removal?

We price based on how much space your items take up in the back of our truck, broken down into ⅛, ¼, ½, ¾ of a truckload, all the way up to a full truckload. Our trucks hold the equivalent of seven pickup trucks.

Our prices vary based on location and there is a minimum charge for our teams to remove your items, which is different in each location, based on a number of factors, including local disposal and recycling fees.

We offer single item pricing for certain items such as mattresses or TVs, sometimes this will be less than our minimum charge.

For materials that have a heavy cubic weight like dirt, concrete, and gravel, pricing is based on the total volume that the material takes up in the truck, up to a maximum of one foot in height for a full truck.
