Cost Per Square Metre
Where per-square-metre pricing applies in Newcastle, and how to compare quotes fairly.
Factors That Affect Price
- → Volume & Weight: Disposal facilities charge by weight.
- → Access Difficulty: Tight spaces or difficult terrain increase labour time.
- → Condition: Friable (crumbling) material requires much stricter, slower protocols than bonded.
- → Height: Roofs and multi-story buildings require scaffolding and edge protection.
Beware the Cheap Quote
A very cheap quote can mean smashed sheets, skipped protective gear or waste that never reaches a licensed facility.
Ask for the removalist's SafeWork NSW licence details and the disposal receipt. Loads over 100kg or more than 10m² of sheeting are tracked through the NSW EPA waste tracking system.
