Question 2

Household rubbish removal in East Central London

Accepted Answer

East Central London’s 30,000 residential properties depend on household rubbish removal services to keep their homes free of unnecessary and hazardous piles of bulky waste. One of the most preferred services is house clearance, which is an end to end service covering all the manual labour of the collection as well as sweep up at then end. Another frequently requested service is garden clearance which allows householders to dispose of hedge trimmings, grass, twigs, branches, and soil. Bulky waste removal of large pieces of furniture, sofas, and mattresses can also be arranged as a separate service or as part of general rubbish removal of multiple waste types which can be collected in one load by the contractor.

Question 3

Commercial rubbish removal in East Central London

Accepted Answer

There are approximately 35,000 active businesses operating in East Central London who generate around 32,000 tonnes of commercial waste annually, of which 6,646 tonnes of it is hazardous waste and almost 90,000 electronic items are collected, creating a high demand for rubbish removal services in the area across a range of waste types. These services are provided by a range of separate and private rubbish clearance specialists who all have their different specialities. Most businesses use commercial rubbish removal services to properly dispose of their general waste and dry mixed recycling by either loading wheelie bins or leaving sacks outside for pick up, although the latter causes a health and safety risk. When dealing with specialist waste streams such as hazardous waste, like combustible liquids and/or fire extinguishers these have to follow strict processes as they require special handling and should be disposed of at a site specifically for waste with high toxicity levels. Another is confidential waste including hard drives and other types of media containing private information of individuals and organisations that may be used illegally if not properly disposed of.

Question 4

Construction rubbish removal in East Central London

Accepted Answer

There are numerous construction sites operating in East Central London at any one time and it is estimated that collectively they generate approximately 130,000 tonnes of waste a year. To keep these construction sites free from unnecessary debris and builders waste, rubbish removal services such as skip hire and man and van clearances are used. Skips can either be loaded as mixed waste or segregated into heavy inert waste like soil and hardcore and lighter waste like timber and scrap metal. Grab lorries and muck aways are perfect for the removal of heavy waste left behind after excavating the ground; these are most effective when getting into hard to reach areas to clear the ground.

East Central London also records 1,501 fly tip incidents yearly which can halt construction projects if not properly dealt with. In most cases site managers will arrange for a grab lorry or a fly tipping specialist company to come and clear the waste to make the premises safe and manageable for construction workers and other site staff.

Question 5

Rubbish removal prices

Accepted Answer

The cost of rubbish removal depends on the service type, waste type, and amount of waste that need to be cleared. The variety of items that need to be disposed of plays a crucial role in identifying the overall cost of a rubbish removal service, since mixed waste and segregated waste incur different charges. Some items like mattresses, white goods, and sofas cost considerably more to dispose of due being made of materials that are either hazardous or non-recyclable.

As most rubbish removal companies charge by volume rather than by weight, small loads consisting of a few light weight but bulky items are better with a man and van type clearance whereas heavier waste is always best cleared by a skip or grab lorry. For waste collections that contain a mixture of heavy and light waste types, it is better to separate the two and remove separately to make it more economical to clear and dispose of the waste. We are always here to help our clients save more on rubbish removal by offering our expertise.
