We’ve seen just about everything that people could possibly throw away and, whilst we aim to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle everything that we clear, we thought that we would share some of our wisdom with you.
Food waste
On average in the UK, we throw out £10 billion worth of food in plastic bin bags. This waste goes to landfills, rots and releases CO2 into the air.
The easy answer is to stop throwing out food waste, but you’ll always have peelings or eggshells that you’d usually just throw in the bin.
Why not set up a compost bin/area in your garden where you can throw all of your food waste? Makes a perfect fertiliser and will significantly reduce what actually goes to landfill.
Shop responsibly
Use bags for life and make sure that they’re made from a material that will safely break down, for instance cotton or ones that feel like plastic, but are compostable.
When going out, purchase items that are easy to recycle. Avoid items that are individually wrapped or in single servings. Buying in bulk can also help to reduce packaging waste.
Make do and mend
Think twice before throwing something away. Perhaps someone else could make good use of it. When you’re thinking of replacing something, always ask yourself:
Do I really need this?
We clear a lot of houses and always collect quite a few items which we sort through and deliver to charity shops where possible. By doing this we’re making those landfill sites a little less full and keeping items in circulation for others to use.
If you ever need any type of clearance service, we can help. We’ll even remove single items and make sure that everything is disposed of correctly and within our policy of Reduce, Recycle, Reuse.
We offer a cost-effective alternative to landfill and tips, with the aim that we will recycle as much as possible.
