Rubbish removal in the Philippines: prices, city fees and booking

Updated 4 November 2026

A household rubbish or junk removal in the Philippines costs about ₱3,983 to ₱8,535 for a typical load, approximately, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. The price moves with the volume, the type of waste and how hard the items are to carry out. For a figure for your own load, describe the job on BlaBlaPrice and compare the replies.

The first row is what a household pays for a removal. The three business rows are city garbage fees that companies pay in Manila, not removal prices, but they show why a shop or office should check its own bill.

Local rules and what to check

City garbage charges are set locally and they change. The Manila city government revised collection fees for businesses, and a Mandaluyong ordinance says the total garbage fee shall not exceed ₱7,500. If the job is for a shop or office, ask the seller whether the quote includes any city garbage fee or whether it is charged on top. Hazardous waste is a different matter: it needs a permit through the EMB/DENR process, so say clearly if the load contains chemicals before you book.

Season and weather

The climate here is hot all year, with a wet season and a dry season instead of winter and summer. Wet bags are heavier and harder to lift, and rain makes lanes and driveways slippery for a truck, so ask for a date on a dry day and keep the waste covered until collection. In the heat, food waste smells quickly, so book the collection soon after the bags are filled.

How the price is set and delivered

The figures above are for a load, not an hourly rate. Ask what the price covers: loading, transport and disposal, and whether any items are charged extra. Measure the load in bags or cubic metres, and say which floor it is on and whether there is an elevator, because carrying items down stairs changes the work.

What to write in the request

Say what the waste is: household bags, furniture, appliances or building rubble. Give the approximate volume, the address in Manila, Quezon City, Cebu City, Davao City or Makati, the floor and the access, and the date you want the collection. Add a budget in pesos if you have one.
