Learn more about Rubbish Removal in North London
Research by the North London Waste Authority (NLWA) has shown that less than one in 10 people attempt to repair broken items at home, which shows the mindset behind the throwaway society we currently have. The UK has had to drastically increase its residual waste treatment capacity over the last eight years, from 6 million tonnes to 13 million tonnes, so it is clear that more needs to be done in terms of reducing, reusing and recycling where possible. Fortunately, licensed and professional rubbish removal service providers have a duty of care towards the environment and part of their operational compliance depends on transferring rubbish to the appropriate reuse and recycling facilities when they can. So even when you are throwing out the aforementioned items, you can be assured that most of all waste collected is being diverted from landfill.
Another vital aspect of rubbish removal aside from safeguarding the environment is maintaining safety. Every stage of the process carries a risk to both people and the environment and companies managing rubbish clearances must have the correct procedures in place to deal with transferring and processing items and materials. As waste can fall into multiple categories that must be dealt with following set rules and regulations, a professional understanding and knowledge of the industry is required to ensure all types of rubbish removal is carried out properly. However, it is the responsibility of the client to check if the rubbish removal company has the correct license to collect certain items from the premises. For example, fridge/freezer units are classed as hazardous waste due to combustible chemicals used in their manufacture.
Local authorities also provide a wide range of services to council tax paying residents in North London. However most non-essential rubbish removal such as bulky waste, white goods removal, DIY waste, garden waste and furniture are subject to additional fees and potentially long waiting times for collection. Although the local authority specialist waste collection services are competitively priced, they do not offer the same level of efficiency and convenience as a private company, and the council can take up to 8 weeks to carry out paid for services such as bulky item collection. It should also be noted that any items of furniture or white goods are usually required to be collected from outside the property, whereas private rubbish removal considers all lifting and carrying of items.
