Old Mattress Disposal – Some Important Facts to Bear in Mind
October 17, 2021Winter Readiness: Tips for Using Trash Removal Services for Your Holiday Junk Removal
October 31, 2021Carrying out a house clearance is not a simple task. It requires a great deal of work and planning whether you are moving out of one house to another, redecorating, clearing out a deceased estate, or getting rid of junk that has accumulated over time. You also need to consider how you will get rid of those items you have no further use for.
Reasons Why You May Need a House Clearance
-
Change of circumstances
This is often the cause that compels us to tidy up. We may be moving house or apartment and we need to clear out before we pack up for good.
Someone close to us may have died and their estate needs wrapping up, the household goods need to be dealt with, and the house sold. Or in the case of retirement, we may have decided to downsize, and we need to get rid of some of our belongings.
If we own a rental property, we need to clean between tenants. If there are piles of junk left in the garage or in a shed, these need to be moved to get the place tidy for the next tenant. -
The annual spring clean
This is the ideal opportunity to get rid of those items that you no longer use or need. -
Holiday clean up
This is the perfect time to get your home ready for the holidays and for the festivities ahead. Make space for friends and family to visit by clearing out all those cluttered spaces in your home. We have had some difficult times during the pandemic with health regulations, but with travel opening up again we can look forward to a special holiday season.
There are restrictions placed by local authorities as to what can and cannot be disposed of at your local landfill, as well as the types of goods you can have picked up curbside. To solve these problems for you it makes sense to hire a professional waste removal company to help you during this stressful operation. Little Green Junk specializes in the removal of your unwanted items, and more importantly, of disposing of them responsibly. Loading up, cleaning the area, hauling the junk away, unloading. This is what our team can help you with, while you get on with the job of sorting through your household items and organising the stuff you want to keep.
Some Tips to Ensure Your House Clearance Goes Smoothly
-
Give yourself enough time to clean out a house.
Unless you are moving house and you need to pack everything up, a house clearance may not have a specific deadline as in there is no date by when you have to finish. So decide what you want to do and make your own deadlines. If you have a garage to clean out, this may take a day or two depending on the severity of the mess, or on the other hand, a cupboard or two may take you a few hours.
-
Decide what to keep and what to trash.
You need to go through all your stuff and decide which items are for keeping, which will be sold or donated, and which are to be disposed of. One way of doing this is to put stickers on each item, for example, green to keep, orange to give away and red to junk. Once you have labelled everything, group the items with the same colored stickers together.
Decide on your own guidelines as to what to trash or what to keep. You may decide that as far as clothing is concerned, anything that you haven’t worn for a year must go, and for magazines, anything older than two months needs to be trashed. -
Organise your stuff for the house clearance.
Once you have decided on what belongs to which category, you can make arrangements for how you plan to move these items.
The orange pile is the sale or donation pile. Contact your local charities or second hand shop, and they may even fetch the items you wish to donate, which would save you the hassle of loading them onto a truck and getting them there.
If you wish to sell some of these items to offset some of your costs of moving, the web is a great place to do so. Try eBay or Facebook Marketplace, and you should have no problem getting rid of your unwanted household items - remember your junk could be someone else’s treasure.
The red pile is the stuff that you wish to get rid of. This is when to consider a professional junk removal company. You can attempt to do it yourself by hiring a van and taking it to the local dump or leaving it out for the local council collection. But bear in mind you will have to haul your heavy junk onto the curb on the day that you have organised with them, as they will not fetch it from inside your home or yard.
By hiring a waste removal company such as Little Green Junk you solve a few problems at once. We will fetch any junk from wherever we are asked to, we arrive at a predetermined time (and we even offer a same day junk removal service), and we clean up after ourselves. We do not dump anything into the landfill that can be reused or recycled, so you can be sure that your junk is not contributing to the pollution of our environment.
