About Us

Who are we? Tidy Up is a hands on rubbish removal service.

So instead of providing a bin for you to fill, we will send one of our late model, custom built trucks with one, two or more uniformed workers to carefully load and remove almost anything! Our typical clients are people who cannot place a bin on their property or who have trouble finding labour to fill the bin. They know that by working with us, their rubbish will be GONE in a flash leaving them free to move on with other projects!

An important thing to bear in mind is that a lot of the material we transport is not rubbish, which is why we place a massive emphasis on putting things back in to the community, recycling, up cycling and donation. We transport large volumes of items back to our Cockburn Central holding yard, where they are sorted and then either donated, given away for free, or placed in our Tidy Up Store for sale at very low prices. We also gather and store material in preparation for delivery to the many recyclers we work with across the Perth metro area.

A brief history…

We are so proud to have been of service to the local Perth community for almost 50 years!

Here’s how we’ve changed and grown in that time.

2024

We are continuing to grow and gaining more certifications.

Since 2020 we have managed to steer our ship through the murky waters of COVID and the very tight labour market that followed. It showed us how important our people are, and how heavily this service-based business relies on having the right people on board.

We continued to grow, added a 4th truck to our fleet, added a telehandler, gained our B Corp certification, became preferred suppliers of WALGA, and started to take on more work in the Government and Corporate sector. Domestically we have found that we are very well suited to larger, more complicated work like helping families with deceased estates, downsizing and hoarding situations. While still competing well with the skip bin market on smaller jobs.

Our company ethos has significantly grown in strength over these last few years, and we have identified our passion for keeping things out of landfill, strengthened our supplier relations with recyclers, and found that we excel at getting things back out into our community so they can have new life breathed into them.

This is a very exciting time for Team Tidy and we can’t wait to wake up each day and take on the next challenge!

2020

The past few years have seen Tidy Up refine our systems and processes.

We have improved our equipment to a point that keeps us on the road 5 to 7 days a week, with the ability to absorb more work and operate with a minimum of downtime. We now have a loyal, dedicated team of 10 people, who pride themselves on providing an exceptional level of customer service. Tidy Up is here for the long term. We truly believe in our product and we welcome the changes that lie ahead.

June 2018

We completed the massive task of moving our premises.

From a shared yard in Jandakot to a 1500m2 warehouse and yard of our own in Cockburn Central. We secured a solid lease and plan to be here for the foreseeable future. The move has given us the ability to divert much more material from landfill than we ever have before. This has translated into huge savings on very costly landfill fees, which helps to cover the additional rent costs. Plus we have increased the overall efficiency of our Tidy Up Store, making it easier to quickly turn over the items we gather.

April 2015

In April of 2015 Tidy Up left home!

We moved premises from our family home, to a warehouse in Jandakot. This was a monumental move for our business. It gave us a much greater ability to control the material we transport. We had an onsite office built inside the old warehouse, which became our first Tidy Up store. Our recycling efforts started with just two outdoor pens for storing scrap metal and electronic waste. Diverting from landfill became our first priority.

December 2012

Tidy Up sold the garden bag service that the business was founded on.

It was purchased by Karen and Denis Parker of Kardens Garden Bags, another local, family owned business. They are now the largest garden bag operators in Perth. So what did this mean for Tidy Up? Selling the garden bag round freed up Team Tidy to focus on the growth of the bulk, hands on rubbish removal service. We originally offered rubbish removals as an add-on to the garden bag service. Customers would often ask for additional items to be loaded on bag change day. In 2007 the first 10m3 custom built truck joined the fleet for this purpose. In 2012 we added a smaller 6.5m3 tipper truck, and in 2013 a second 10m3 tipper.

The early days…

Des Berry originally established Tidy Up under the name “Berry’s Jumbo Bags” in 1975 from our first family home in Mt. Pleasant.

The business grew very quickly and was one of the first of its type in WA. In 1978 Des decided to move the business overseas but for a number of reasons it didn’t work out. Des returned to Perth in 1984 and started the garden bag business again from scratch, under the name Tidy Up.

Tony joined his Dad, Des in the business in 1991.

Over the years we have endeavoured to always take the business to the next level, by capitalising on the goodwill that was established in the community, and by creating employment for others.

Our Mission

To help create a world without waste by employing and empowering capable people and matching them with modern, purpose built trucks and equipment.

Sustainability

At Tidy Up we believe in reducing our footprint and giving something back to our community. Find out more about our recycling efforts.

Our Vision

We want to do all we can to reduce waste in the Perth metro area. Our Vision is simple: 'Life without landfill'.

Remember:
We recycle, donate and re-purpose the rubbish we collect at every opportunity.

Landfill is an absolute last resort

Huge thanks to Stu & Beau from Tidy Up for their outstanding work. They worked incredibly hard from start to finish and were extremely efficient in everything they did.

What really stood out was their ability to problem-solve on the spot and handle any challenges without hesitation. Their communication throughout the whole process was clear and professional, which made everything so easy.

Highly recommend Tidy Up – great team and great service!

This wasn’t the first time that I’d used Tidy Up’s services and once again they were fantastic. Stew and Beau were an absolute pleasure to deal with. They were not only super courteous and friendly, but they worked quickly, quietly and efficiently. I would have no hesitation in using them again as well as recommending Tidy Up to anyone who could use their services. Well done Stew and Beau!

Dianne A.

Great company. Needed on the day without prior booking and they came to the rescue. They let me know when they were arriving and were there right on time. Very friendly and helpful staff. Was a great service and we were very pleased with the company. Highly recommended their service to anyone.

Kim G.

We had Tidy Up to our home today and cannot fault them. Stu and Beau attended and were efficient, polite and great to deal with. Tidy up managed to fit us in on the same day as our enquiry which was so helpful to us. Communication with Ray at the office was a breeze. While a little on the expensive side, the fact that you don't have to double handle things to put in a skip bin , know that things will be recycled where appropriate and have the mental stress of decluttering taken away makes it totally worthwhile. Definitely recommend.

I booked with this team initially because their competitors didn't respond to emails, answer calls nor responded to inquiries. Tidy up were friendly, prompt, good communication and relatively priced. So glad I booked because They came early in the window of time they gave me and called first to help me get prepared. Job done, smoothly, effectively and the workers were friendly and helpful. I'd definitely recommend them and will absolutely use them again in future. They get it done!

T A.

Fantastic service from TidyUp!
Stu and Ethan did an amazing job — they went above and beyond and truly exceeded my expectations. This was my first time using a service like this and I was so impressed with their professionalism, hard work and friendly attitude. Everything was left spotless and nothing was too much trouble. I will definitely be using TidyUp again and highly recommend them!

What a great job Stu and co did today for a tidy up of my garage junk and house electrical items. Came early and called in advance to let me know their ETA, nothing was too difficult and the price was great. Motivated me to do some more tidy upping and getting them to come again in January. Many thanks! And happy Christmas.
