DIY House Clearance Recycling
If you are doing a house clearance yourself, get ready for several trips to the local recycling centre. Most recycling centres have a number of different containers or skips for different materials, so you need to separate the items first before disposal. For example, wooden materials will typically go into a container marked “wood”, paper and cardboard into the “paper” one, metal objects into the “metal’ container etc. There are also separate collection containers for larger items such as TVs, computer monitors, fluorescent light tubes, fridges and fridge freezers. Often there is a special place for more hazardous items such as car batteries, chemicals, paint and old engine oil, This can be physically demanding – going from one container to another – but also time consuming. So look to make several trips to your local household recycling centre.
