Solar Panel Removal and Disposal in Sydney
Sydney has been one of Australia’s biggest adopters of rooftop solar, and that’s great news for the environment. But what happens when those panels reach the end of their life, get upgraded, or need to come down during a renovation?
That’s where OTG Rubbish Removals comes in.
We offer fast, professional solar panel disposal across Sydney for both residential and commercial customers.
Whether you’ve had a system upgraded, damaged panels after a storm, or you’re simply clearing out old equipment, our team will come to you, remove the panels safely from your property , and ensure they’re disposed of the right way.
Why You Can’t Just Bin Old Solar Panels
Solar panels contain materials including silicon, glass, aluminium, and small amounts of metals like lead and cadmium. This makes them a form of e-waste – and like TVs, computers, and batteries, they shouldn’t go in your general rubbish bin or end up in landfill if it can be avoided.
In NSW, improper disposal of e-waste is taken seriously. At OTG, we sort and handle solar panels responsibly, directing materials to appropriate recycling and processing facilities wherever possible.
We’re committed to keeping as much as we can out of landfill – just like we do with the other 80% of waste we recycle across all our jobs.
What We Do
Our solar panel disposal service is simple and stress-free:
We come to your home, business, or site anywhere across Sydney
We carefully remove and load the panels – no heavy lifting required from you
( please note we remove these from ground level , you may first need a solar specialist or electrician to remove them from your roof – we can recommend some reliable trades for this process )
We transport them to the appropriate waste or recycling facility
We handle all the logistics so you don’t have to worry about a thing
Whether it’s a handful of panels from a residential rooftop or a large commercial array, we’ve got the truck, the team, and the know-how to get it done efficiently.
How Much Does Solar Panel Disposal Cost in Sydney?
Pricing is based on the number of panels and how accessible they are on your property. A small residential job with panels already removed from the roof and ready to load will be priced differently to a full commercial strip-out.
Every job is different, so we assess each one on its own merits — taking into account the volume of panels, the type of equipment involved, and how easy it is for our team to access and load everything safely.
We charge by volume and labour, and our pricing is always clear and upfront with no surprises. If access is tricky, involves multiple levels, or the job is particularly large, we’ll let you know what’s involved before we start.

Frequently Asked Questions – Solar Panel Disposal Sydney
Where can I find solar panel disposal near me in Sydney?
If you’re searching for solar panel disposal near me in Sydney, OTG Rubbish Removals services all areas across Greater Sydney — from the Eastern Suburbs and Inner West to the Northern Beaches and Western Sydney
We offer same-day and next-day collection with responsible e-waste recycling. Simply call us on 0429 222 344 and their team will come to you, load the panels, and handle all the logistics so you don’t have to.
Can you remove panels that are still on the roof?
We can assist with ground-level collection once panels have been brought down by your installer or electrician. For safety and licensing reasons, disconnection and removal from the roof itself needs to be handled by a qualified solar installer – but once they’re down, we’ll take care of the rest.
What happens to the panels after you collect them?
We take them to appropriate recycling and processing facilities. Solar panels are classified as e-waste and we treat them accordingly, diverting materials from landfill wherever possible.
Do I need to be home for the collection?
Not necessarily. Many of our customers arrange access while they’re at work. As long as the panels are in an accessible spot like a driveway or yard, we can complete the job and send you photos when it’s done.
Can you take other solar equipment like inverters and batteries?
Yes – we can also remove inverters, mounting frames, old batteries, and other associated equipment. Just let us know what you’ve got when you call.
