Learn more about Furniture Removal in South East London

With a population of just under 2 million and an astonishing 1.2 million items of furniture being discarded annually, furniture removal is an in-demand service in South East London. We offer a range of specialist waste clearance companies in the South East area and many offer furniture removal and other bulky waste removal services.

Greenwich and Lewisham Councils offer furniture removal services, however, these are unavailable during certain times of the year and so residents are encouraged to use the reuse and recycling centres and to try and repair or reuse any items that they can before considering disposal. Council run furniture removal services can often be time consuming and are usually delayed due to the high demand for the service. The South East has one of the highest rates of furniture disposal and so it is important that you book in advance to avoid having discarded furniture in or around your house for a long period of time.

There are also many different options for furniture removal. In the South East area of London, there are many charities and second hand shops that will gladly accept your old furniture so that it can be sold on.

Reliable and compliant furniture removal service in South East London

Supporting the circular economy prevents more waste from ending up in landfill or being fly tipped. This is particularly important when considering that the South East records almost 40,000 fly tipping incidents each year.

There are a range of private waste companies in the area and because of this furniture removal is competitively priced, however, it is important that you check that the waste company you choose to work with are reputable and licensed for the work they do and are open about their reuse and recycle rates. Licences include a waste carriers licence issued by the environmental agency. This should be easy to access through their website or other enquiries and if it is not then this should act as a red flag. There are many dodgy operators in this industry who may not be disposing of waste in a regulated or ethical way, always look for a legitimate company with a lot of experience to work on your behalf.

At Wayst, we work with specialist waste clearance partners who can collect various different types of waste streams from a range of property types. Our customers often ask whether this is possible as some companies only collect certain materials, or collect different items separately such as sofas or fridges. All of our partners are prequalified to ensure that they have the correct equipment to handle all of your discarded furniture safely and securely, without damaging the surrounding environment or causing harm to the people near where they are working.

We have a very high rate of reuse and recycling at 92%, which is higher within our furniture services as reusing or recycling furniture is an easier waste stream to manage.

Our platform partners with trusted furniture removal companies in the South East of London who pride themselves on providing an outstanding service. We assess each of our partners against the Wayst Standards of compliance, health and safety, quality assurance, legislation and commitment to the environment, ensuring that the process of furniture removal is easy, quick and hassle free.

How is the local authority in South East London handling your waste?

Each borough in South East London works independently to manage waste, and this is a strategy that could be greatly improved by pooling resources.

The key waste management figures for South East London's Council's are as follows:

· Overall annual spend on waste management £80,664,727
· Per person spend £44
· Landfill rate 64.46%
· Reuse and recycling rate 35.54%

The overall plan for waste management in London states that by 2030, 65% of the municipal waste will be recycled in the capital. However, south east London boroughs are carrying out some notable reuse and recycling projects independently, such as Greenwich council’s initiative for the repair and resale of bicycles to fundraise for the Greenwich and Bexley community Hospice.
