Rubbish removal is a necessity when clearing the house of waste and now more than ever, there is more of an emphasis on the impact waste has on the environment.
That said, we can’t hide from the fact that we produce waste and it build up. So, we need to remove waste as effectively as possible to help reduce our impact on the environment and recycle our waste where we can to reduce unnecessary consumption.
When your waste gets collected, it’s important for it to be sorted into what can be recycled and what can’t be.Throughout the UK, many homes can recycle waste in their own bins. You will be familiar with handling the following:
- Paper
- Cardboard
- Some plastics
- Metal
- Glass
- Textiles
Other materials are recyclable but are yet to be accepted in your domestic bins. At WeDump4U, we strive to save as many items as possible from going to landfill in our rubbish removal. We spend time sorting through the waste we collect to ensure it is being handled correctly. So, in addition to the usual recyclables, what else can be salvaged?
Waste Electricals
As indicated by the symbol, waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) shouldn’t be thrown away in normal bins. Items like TV’s, fridges and radios can be taken apart and some components can be recycled. So, if you have appliances to get rid of, ensure they are disposed of correctly with a rubbish removal.
Rubbish Removal For Inert Waste
Inert materials include brick, plaster, concrete and just about any construction material. The waste can be recycled back into construction aggregates. If you opt for a professional rubbish removal for a renovation or commercial project, then you can be assured that a lot of the materials can be recycled.
Garden Waste
Most garden materials can be recycled. Flowers, bark, twigs and leaves can all be taken to a composting site. Even though it is likely that you can already do this from your home, you may need a professional rubbish removal for large projects. If you have a lot of material or larger waste like trees, then getting a garden clearance will help. You can be assured that everything that can be recycled will be disposed of correctly.
Wood & Timber
Most wood can be recycled. As a widely used material in construction, it’s good that it can be salvaged. If you have timber to get rid of, things like pallets, planks and old fencing can easily be recycled.
The WRAP Guidelines
When understanding which types of waste can be removed, it’s always good to know about the WRAP guidelines. The WRAP guidelines stands for The Waste and Resources Action Programme and is essentially a national agreement from the recycling industry on what homeowners can and cannot use collection services for recycling.
In short the WRAP guidelines are a checklist of yes or no questions on the materials that can be sent for recycling. More details on everything that is allowed/disallowed can be found here.
