Rubbish removal in Malaysia: prices in RM and what to check

Updated 4 November 2026

In Malaysia, rubbish removal costs about RM30 to RM100 per bulky item, or roughly RM250 to RM350 for a 1-ton lorry with two workers. For a price on your own load, describe it in a request on BlaBlaPrice: the AI will look through sellers' websites and price lists in Malaysia and show what it finds.

Scheduled waste needs a licensed carrier

Some industrial waste counts as scheduled waste under the Environmental Quality Act 1974. Under Section 18, only a transporter licensed by the Department of Environment (DOE) may carry it, so ask any company to show its DOE licence before you pay. E-waste collection also needs a licence, and one listed application fee is RM300.

Disposal fees and the wet season

The climate is hot all year, with a wet and a dry season instead of winter and summer. Heavy rain soaks cardboard and mattresses left out for collection, so book a dry day when you can and ask the crew to bring covers. Council rules also add cost: one council's cleansing service charges RM10 a day for each private lorry. Ask whether your quote includes the tip fee, since disposal facilities charge by weight, at RM70 per tonne for industrial and commercial waste.

How it is priced in your city

Quotes are per item, per trip or per lorry, and many firms price by volume, weight, access and disposal charges. Stair carries and long pushes from the lorry usually add a fee, so say which floor you are on and whether there is a lift. In Kuala Lumpur, George Town, Johor Bahru, Ipoh or Shah Alam, give the full address, and measure the pile in metres and its weight in kilograms or tonnes.

What to put in your request

Name the waste type: furniture, renovation debris, garden waste or bagged household rubbish. Give the workload, a rough count of bags or items, and whether anything is heavy. Add the address, the date you need the job done and your budget in RM. A photo helps sellers judge the load before they quote.

On BlaBlaPrice the request is free for you. Describe the job in your own words in the chat and add a photo if you have one.
