The best solutions for getting rid of your rubbish and old furniture.

Only book with a business that is registered to carry waste and will provide a receipt and proof of ethical disposal. Do not book through a Facebook post that offers an unrealistic price. You may find yourself on the wrong end of the law if your rubbish is fly tipped and is traced back to you.

If you’re not sure how to find a registered waste carrier. Any company that agrees to move your waste should have an upper tier waste carriers licence number. This number can be cross referenced on the Environment Agency website. It will give you the registered address and business name of the waste carrier. This will give assurance recycling and disposal of waste will be in a responsible manner. If an unauthorised person removes you’re rubbish, it could possibly be fly tipped. If its traced back to you,

evidence must be provided of who removed it. You are at risk of a criminal record and big fine if you cannot provide information on the waste carrier.

When having a house cleared or rubbish removed it’s important to remove any important documents. For instance old bank statements and council tax letters, these can be used for identity theft if in the wrong hands. Keep what you may need to settle an estate but shred or destroy documents that can be used for nefarious motives.

Not all items need to be disposed of into a generic landfill tip. Some house clearance companies are environmentally friendly and will have a recycling policy. Most general waste can be separated at the tip and disposed into recycling sections. In some cases if furniture is still in good condition, it can be re-homed via donation or charity shops. There are large charities that do house clearances although they can be rather picky and will not take items that need to be tipped.
