Collection prices by load size as one Cape Town rubble removal crew publishes them for 2026: loading, transport, tipping and VAT included.
| Job | Price | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Small load, up to 1 m³ | R600 to R900 | Rubble Removal Cape Town (their own 2026 price bands) |
| Half bakkie, 2 to 3 m³ | R1,200 to R1,800 | Rubble Removal Cape Town (their own 2026 price bands) |
| Full bakkie, 4 to 5 m³ | R2,000 to R2,800 | Rubble Removal Cape Town (their own 2026 price bands) |
| 6 m³ load (midi-skip volume) | R2,800 to R3,800 | Rubble Removal Cape Town (their own 2026 price bands) |
| 12 m³ load (maxi-skip volume) | R5,000 to R7,500 | Rubble Removal Cape Town (their own 2026 price bands) |
Mixed loads that need several tip stops sit near the top of each band; Atlantic Seaboard addresses add R200 to R400 for access and the outer suburbs R150 to R300 for travel. A booking that can wait for any weekday is 10 to 15% cheaper than same day. The City of Cape Town takes up to 1.5 tons of non-hazardous waste per private trip at its drop-offs free of charge.

How we check these prices
We copy each price as the business or shop publishes it, with the region and VAT basis it states, and re-check every source before it is 12 months old. We never work out a price ourselves or carry over an old figure without a source. Every pro sets their own price, so use these to set a budget and ask for a written quote.
Sources: the businesses and shops named in each table, checked between 8 November 2026 and 9 November 2026. We don't link to them or show their contact details: every enquiry here goes through Local Pros.
