Question 2

Household rubbish removal in Croydon

Accepted Answer

There are thousands of residential properties in Croydon, which have at some point needed to use household rubbish removal services like man and van type clearances for waste streams like furniture or garden waste. This type of service is one of the most favoured solutions among householders who need maximum convenience and flexibility as well as a more cost efficient option when clearing household waste. Man and van type services include all of the manual labour from the hauling of waste to post clean up of the property and can be booked more often than not on the same or next day meaning rubbish will be removed almost immediately.

Other services include furniture removal, sofa recycling, and mattress removal services are popular, as the heavy furniture can be removed from the property and loaded into the truck without requiring the client to do any lifting themselves. Depending on the furniture it is either reused, donated to charity or recycled.

Question 3

Commercial rubbish removal in Croydon

Accepted Answer

Almost 100,000 commercial properties in Croydon generate almost 350,000 tonnes of waste each year, of which the waste discarded that has most of the potential to damage our environment include the 70,000 tonnes of hazardous waste, 77,000 computers and 62,000 monitors discarded every year from commercial premises in Croydon. As commercial areas in Croydon continuously develop more businesses require commercial waste disposal and office rubbish removal services. One of these services is office clearance which is an all-inclusive service that covers all the manual labour involved, the sorting and collection of waste materials, and the postoperative clean up of the commercial premises. This is most suitable for office relocations, business upsizing and shop refurbishments.

Businesses may also arrange commercial rubbish disposal services to get rid of hazardous waste such as clinical waste, combustible liquids and electronic waste including computers and monitors as well as confidential waste such as hard drives and private documents. These waste streams require special handling and proper disposal as the items often contain components that may cause environmental and health hazard, or sensitive information that needs to be kept confidential during the waste transfer and disposal process. Office machinery such as printers, photocopiers and monitors may also be disposed of through IT recycling which is offered by us through our expert waste carriers as part of their office rubbish removal services.

Question 4

Construction rubbish removal in Croydon

Accepted Answer

Over a million tonnes of construction waste is generated each year in Croydon, and to ensure proper disposal of this type of waste, construction rubbish removal services through environmentally friendly waste companies are typically used on a variety of construction sites. Skip hire services are mostly used to keep working sites free of all types of builders waste that may potentially cause safety risks to employees if left around. While builders skips and maxi skips are often used for rubbish disposal on small construction projects, site managers and surveyors working on large scale projects usually opt for RORO hire available in 20 yard and 40 yard skips which can accommodate large amounts of waste and can be situated on site for longer periods.

Another commonly used construction waste management rubbish removal service is grab hire, using lorries that can remove large quantities of rubbish such as soil, muck and concrete from otherwise inaccessible spaces using a grab arm. Fly tip clearance is also needed if rubbish is illegally dumped on building sites or other private land. Unfortunately this is a common occurrence on greenbelt land in Croydon with nearly 28,000 fly tip incidents recorded every year in Croydon.

Question 5

How to choose a rubbish removal company

Accepted Answer

With a huge amount of private waste carriers to choose from, finding the right rubbish removal company in Croydon can be overwhelming, however narrowing the search down to only those companies with a proven track record and reputable practices is often the best way to start deciding who to use. Rubbish removal companies are required to obtain necessary permits that allow the local government to ensure that the waste they collect will be disposed of properly and not fly tipped or otherwise incorrectly disposed of.

The best place to start is the Environment Agency website which allows residents to check if a specific company has a waste carriers license. Rubbish removal companies should be listed under the upper-tier category which licenses businesses to transport and carry various types of waste coming from households and businesses. Next is to look for a company with a good reputation which can be easily done by checking customer feedback and reviews. It is also important to avoid companies offering cheap services as these service providers are either unlicensed or dodgy. Also, the bulk of the payment for a rubbish removal service goes to the costs required to properly dispose of the collected waste that is why there is a huge possibility that the waste collected by cheap rubbish removal companies could end up being fly tipped.

Question 6

What you need to know about Croydon

Accepted Answer

The Principle town of Croydon within the Greater London Borough of Croydon is the next largest commercial district outside of central London and has excellent rail links to the capital, and towards coastal towns in the south east of England. It is also home to London’s only tram network which reportedly transports over 29 million people every year. Croydon town also has plenty to offer outside of its shopping centres, pubs bars and restaurants. The Airport Visitor Centre is one of Croydon’s most unique well known attractions, situated in the world’s oldest air traffic control tower and only open one weekend a month, so plan ahead! The Museum of Croydon is another must see, with its own art gallery and richly detailed local history exhibits. There is also the Turf gallery space, which offers workshops run by local artists, and plenty of outdoor attractions and parks. Coombe Wood, which is set in well kept grounds and has picturesque views and an on site cafe. Wandel Park, which features a river, a playground and a skate park is also very popular with visitors and locals. Croydon is currently the fifth cheapest borough in London for property prices and an ideal location to invest, mainly due to the regeneration plans and the predicted increase in house prices This investment opportunity has driven up construction work in the area, which in turn has caused an increase in the production of construction waste; mainly refurbishment related waste such as flooring and carpets. The most popular property types in Croydon are 3 bedroom properties and flats, and over 65% of properties are now rented when compared to the 2001 census, which inevitably causes a range of residential waste types as bulky household waste is created during the moving process.

Question 10

How is the local authority in Croydon handling your waste?

Accepted Answer

Residents can find advice on how to reduce and reuse waste on the council website, and Croydon council provide a very useful and informative video, explaining exactly how waste is handled and recovered at waste treatment facilities from within the borough and on a national scale. All the waste that is collected in the borough goes on a reprocessing journey. Food waste goes to an anaerobic digestion facility, where gas and bio fertilizer are produced. The biogas is used as fuel and for generating electricity, and the fertilizer is pasteurised to remove pathogens before being applied to the soil. Paper and card get sent to paper mills throughout the UK, where the materials are washed and liquified before being reprocessed into recycled paper products. Glass tins and plastic go into the mixed recycling bin and taken to a materials recovery facility where they are sorted and sold on to reprocessors, and there is a facility in Dagenham where some of the plastic gets processed into pellets which can be used to manufacture any number of plastic based products and materials.

Croydon Council's Waste Management Performance:

· Overall annual spend on waste management £19,369,000,00
· Per person spend £25
· Landfill rate 49.50%
· Reuse and recycling rate 50.50%

Question 11

What are the plans for a greener future in Croydon?

Accepted Answer

Croydon is part of the South London Waste Partnership made up of the four boroughs of Croydon Merton Sutton and Kingston. Together they implement cost effective waste management strategies, and provide news and information on how the South London Waste Partnership is working towards sustainable environmentally friendly solutions. Croydon council ensures that even non recyclable waste can be kept out of landfill by sending materials such as Polystyrene, bubble wrap, and some food containers to an energy recovery facility in Beddington less than four miles from the town centre. The waste materials are burnt at temperatures that can exceed 850 degrees celsius, producing large amounts of steam used to generate electricity and ash, which can be used in road building. Viridor, who manage large scale waste treatment projects, have taken over what was once the landfill site at Beddington and transformed it into natural wetlands and grasslands in collaboration with the South London Waste Partnership. Croydon’s own environmental policy, The Green Commitment which was established over 20 years ago, sets out five key aims to improve the environment including a commitment to sustainability and protecting and improving natural surroundings within the borough.
