Question 1

Learn more about Man & Van in Twickenham

Accepted Answer

Considering the local council in Twickenham does not offer any man and van services for its residents, there are a lot of privatised man and van service providers to choose from for a range of bulky waste disposal requirements.

Most people will require a man with a van at least once, for example, when you move house you may have to discard furniture or you may generate a load of general waste from an annual spring clean that is not suitable for the weekly waste collections that need to be thrown out.

Man and van hire can be a great service for residents who cannot drive, live alone, do not have much free time or are not able to (or simply do not want to) carry out the labour involved with the clearance. Typically waste carriers who offer man and van services have high reuse and recycling rates as the waste that they collect is easier to do so than what is collected from other waste disposal services.

At Wayst, we connect professional and vetted man and van services to our clients for a range of needs. We aim to give all who use our services a good, stress free experience that they would be happy to recommend to friends and family. This is why we strive to meet any special requirements you may have in regards to the service and only work with reputable waste clearance teams that are licensed, insured and trained to properly dispose of your waste, ensuring that they follow all the relevant regulations provided by the environmental agency.

Our priorities as a company is to provide professional and sustainable waste services at the click of a button with a friendly customer service team at hand to help if you need. We use quality driven local providers who have been thoroughly qualified to ensure they work in alignment with the Wayst standards who have access to the waste disposal centres in the area.

Question 2

Proficient Man and Van waste removal in Twickenham

Accepted Answer

Man and van services are most often utilised to transport waste or belongings from point A to point B.

If you require these services you will need to make an appointment, either online or over the phone, where a date and time can be arranged for collection. Once this is arranged, the waste carrier will need to understand exactly what the potential hazards are of carrying out the clearance and the waste types to know how best to transport the items from your property to the correct waste facilities safely and correctly.

In all cases once the waste has been collected a waste transfer note is issued detailing a range of information about the clearance including its location of pickup and disposal.

We have multiple options available at Wayst including, but not limited to, a mini Load, which can clear 1 cubic yard of waste, a medi Load, which clears 7 cubic yards of waste and a large load, which can clear 10 cubic yards of waste. Depending on the amount of waste you need to clear our man and van services are performed and priced to ensure a cost effective service.

Question 3

Local Man and Van rubbish clearance

Accepted Answer

The Wayst platform connects you to quality driven, licensed, trustworthy man and van services in your area, we are here to take the time and effort out of searching for a proper waste clearance company, we carry out certain checks on every company we work with to ensure they meet certain environmental and management standards. Wayst thoroughly screens each one of our partners, checking that they are properly licensed and have permits that allow them to carry out the work they are offering.

If you arrange a clearance with a company who do not operate properly and your waste is disposed of irresponsibly or illegally, the responsibility is on the customer more than the doggy waste company. These outcomes can lead to fines and legal action taken against them. A legitimate waste clearance company will be able to provide you with evidence of a range of things including licenses and public liability and vehicle insurance, accreditations and memberships, for example the Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS).

Question 4

Man and Van rubbish clearance prices

Accepted Answer

The price of man and van services in Twickenham vary depending on the company you choose, the size of the load, the time it takes to complete the job amongst other factors. To ensure you are getting an accurate quote for your clearance it is always advisable to send images of your waste so it can be priced up accurately.

The cost for man and van rubbish clearance in Twickenham starts from around £75+VAT for smaller loads, though the quality of the services may be limited.

However, at Wayst we know that it is not all about the price as cheap man and van clearances are potentially dodgy, there is a baseline cost to cover to do things properly and anything less than that baseline is questionable. The key is to figure out which service offers the best value.

Some of the benefits of hiring a man and van include:

- As part of the clearance the team will sort your waste into what can be recycled and what can not
- The employees of the company can do all the loading and heavy lifting for you
- You do not have to worry about transporting the waste

All in all this service saves you a lot of time and effort which may be more valuable than the added cost against doing it yourself.

Question 5

When to use Man and Van rubbish collection services

Accepted Answer

Man and van services are most effective, both costly and environmentally, when you have a large volume of waste to dispose of or when you have items that are too large to transport in your own vehicle. For example if you have fridges, TVs, computers, garden waste etc.

The service is used for all waste that is not permitted to fit into the weekly waste collection service offered by the council.

Man and van services can be used to dispose of most types of waste however hazardous waste is a specialist issue which must be done properly and these services cannot dispose of clinical waste, such as sharps and needles, which need specialist waste companies to process these waste types as they are extremely dangerous if the company do not follow the correct procedures for the disposal.

Question 10

How is the local authority in Twickenham handling your waste?

Accepted Answer

Cardboard and paper collected products from blue bins are transported to the councils depot in Craneford Way, and then to Newport paper mills where they are reprocessed into recycled paper products. Richmond Upon Thames council works with a private contractor to transport other dry recycling collected from black boxes in bulk loads to a sorting plant in Mansfield. At this stage any residual waste contaminants that might be present are removed and sent to an energy recovery facility. Another sorting plant in Leeds separates different types of plastics into PET bottles, pots, tubs and trays. Bulk loads of plastic, glass aluminium and steel are then marketed and sold on to companies who will transform the materials into end products, or sell them onto other companies where they are not able to remanufacture them. All the end markets for recyclables are within the EU with the exception of some steel which is sold and recycled internationally.

Food waste material which is collected from Green boxes in Twickenham is delivered to the West London Waste Authority (WLWA) in Hounslow who delivers the material to the anaerobic waste facility in Mitcham, where it is treated to produce gas which is fed into the national grid, and biofertilizer for crops and farmland. Similarly, general rubbish is used to generate electricity, and garden waste is used to enrich the soil by being composted.

Twickenham Council's Waste Management Performance:

· Overall annual spend on waste management £54,383,813
· Per person spend £56
· Landfill rate 50.14%
· Reuse and recycling rate 49.86%

Question 11

What are the plans for a greener future in Twickenham?

Accepted Answer

The West London Waste Authority provides plenty of helpful tips and information on their website for residents in Twickenham and Richmond Upon Thames on reducing waste and taking part in community reuse and recycle schemes on the WLWA website. One such initiative that individuals and families can do at home is to start to change their everyday habits around accumulating waste in the first place. This can be achieved by small incremental actions that add up to have a big impact on the amount of waste that individual households produce and will significantly reduce the overall amount of waste that needs to be collected. There are several ways in which residents can start to reduce the amount of rubbish generated on a daily basis by bringing less waste into the home through making better buying choices, repairing items and planning meals in advance to reduce food waste, which can cause harm to the environment if it ends up in landfill. Residents can also access community reuse and recycling schemes via the local authority website such as Richmond Freegle, the Richmond furniture recycling scheme,and the TRAID clothing collections scheme.
