1800-GOT-JUNK? Returns to Hit Reality Series Space Invaders

MELBOURNE, VIC / AGILITYPR.NEWS / February 26, 2026 / 1800-GOT-JUNK?, the world’s largest junk removal service, is thrilled to announce its return for the fourth consecutive year as the official rubbish removal partner for the hit reality renovation show, Space Invaders.

 

This season marks a significant milestone for the production, as the show moves its filming base from Sydney to Melbourne for the first time. The new location brings a fresh backdrop to the emotional and physical transformations that have made the show a household favorite.


A Dream Partnership in a New City

 

The Melbourne-based franchise team hit the ground running, bringing full service junk removal to help local families reclaim their space.

 

Space Invaders allows 1800‑GOT‑JUNK? to show its purpose in action. Seeing the team help families regain control of their lives humanises the brand in a way traditional advertising simply can’t,” says Olesya Pasko, Head of Branded Entertainment at Space Invaders production company WTFN.

 

“Moving the show to our home turf in Melbourne is incredibly exciting,” says Justin King, General Manager of the Melbourne franchise. “We are happy to help clear the junk to open up possibilities for people, giving them the space they need to start fresh."

 

As the team tackles everything from cluttered garages to overwhelmed living rooms, the focus remains on the human element. "Junk reveals stories, and to be invited into someone’s life during such a transition is a privilege. It’s really special to be part of their journey,” adds King.
