House Clearance Newcastle Upon Tyne Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

The traditionally approved reduce, reuse, recycle strategy seems to be have become more of a guide than a rule-book, with the ‘Proximity Principle’ likely to have an increasing influence over national policy (this could be a problem for those who rely on free trade for recyclables). Other possible changes could include recycled content targets to boost recyclate markets. Although, energy from house clearance waste as an option was perhaps over-stressed, it was good to see the Government is committed to increasing recycling.

House Clearance In Newcastle & Recycling Services

House Clearance Newcasle Upon Tyne has been researching the current state of play for WEEE recycling in the UK. There has been the rather welcome discovery of a fact that many in the recycling & Newcastle house clearance industry have known for years: almost all large household appliances, or ‘white goods’ are collected for recycling by long-established routes. Whether via the house clearance company or by local authorities, old washing-machines and cookers find their way into the shredders, where they are processed, achieving recycling rates of an estimated 68%.

House Clearance Sunderland Costs

The 20% increase in license fees for most house clearance Sunderland recycling sites is unpopular to say the least. Effectively a tax on running a house clearance business in the Sunderland area, like all taxes it has to be paid or you risk prosecution.

The licence charges are not only relatively new, but have been raised by more than the rate of inflation every year since they were introduced. This time by more than five times inflation. Since the fees were first introduced in 1994, they have risen by 75% and in some cases doubled. Why the fees? To fund the Environment Agency, who regulate the waste management industry & house clearance services in Sunderland amongst many other functions.

House Clearance Stirling Government Regulation

There have been two disappointments this week for the Stirling House Clearance industry. Both the British Recycling Federation and the British Waste Association expressed their concern over this Government’s ignorance of the needs of the house clearance industry in Scotland no more so than here in Stirling. On the one hand the Government is channelling large sums of money to such projects as Going for Green or the much heralded environmental task-force, which, let’s face it, have questionable results and will swallow as much money as you can throw at them for as long as you, the tax-payer, can afford it.

House Clearance Middlesbrough Costs

The Budget offered mixed blessings for the Middlesbrough house clearance industry. The Landfill Tax was increased from £7 to £10 for ‘active’ waste, and it seems possible that some house clearance waste could be exempted from the Tax if is it is not for landfill. If so some of the pressure on house clearance companies could be greatly reduced: a cost saving which could be passed on down the rest of the recycling chain.

House Clearance Dundee Waste & Recycling Regulations

Parliament have set out to increase the UK recycling rates for waste in line with the EC Waste Directive, which requires member states to achieve recovery rates of between 50% and 65% by 2018. As is often the case with legislation originating in Brussels, the full ramifications are not yet clear especially for us in The Dundee house clearance business. You would expect legislation designed to increase recycling rates to benefit the recycling & house clearance industry here is Dundee.

House Clearance Edinburgh & Recyclables

As you can see in our special feature on house clearance in the Edinburgh area, the export of recyclables could soon be fraught with difficulties. Trade in secondhand electronics, which has been encouraged by the Government in recent years, could be made illegal thanks to the wranglings of a few faceless Euro-bureaucrats. Nobody within the recycling industry or house clearance world thinks that containers filled with dangerous batteries should be dumped on the poor nations of the world, to poison the environment and pollute the land for generations to come.

House Clearance Glasgow In The News

In one of the most bizarre house clearance fly-tipping incidents of recent times, over 2 ton of house clearance furniture dumped in the middle of a road near Glasgow. On 16th May, local Environment Agency waste regulation officers reported that the house clearance furniture had been dumped in a very dangerous position on a road just off the the main motorway into Glasgow. The pile was 25 metres long, and Ian Jobes, local EA waste manager commented, “Fly tipping of house clearance furniture is something which occurs far too often and these have been dumped with a total disregard for safety on an unlit road. They must have been tipped overnight and a motorist coming round the corner at speed could have crashed into it all.”

House Clearance Carlisle Recommended

It is strange, how in the short space of 10 years life can change so much. When I first started House Clearance Carlisle, the House Clearance in Carlisle business was concerned about the simple things in life – making a living, building your business, arranging nights out with your House Clearance competitors under the guise of trade bodies – everyone seemed very relaxed about life. Unfortunately for the House Clearance industry, the world reinvented recycling and, even more unfortunately, the power mongers decided it should be waste. Ever since then we have been involved in an uphill battle against what has often been nonsensical legislation.

House Clearance Edinburgh Service Information

Changes were on the cards for some trade associations: the UK House Clearance Association gained a lot of new members and a more dynamic public profile; while rumours of a merger between two of Edinburghs largest waste transfer stations were well and truly scotched. The National Association of Waste Disposal Contractors also changed its name to the Environmental Services Association; and who could forget the attempts to rid the house clearance industry in Edinburgh of the phrase ‘man and van’.

Jamie Murray

Quality fast and reliable service with a cracking bunch of lads definitely recommended

Bill Mitchell

Contracted this company to clear the flat of my deceased mother. Two young guys cleared EVERYTHING out of the rented property, including furniture, carpets, ornaments, white goods and food/household products, politely, efficiently, and respectfully. Excellent service.

Charles winter

The guys from Northern House Clearance have just cleared a house for me in Scotland. The house was packed not only with a lifetimes worth of memories, but all the clutter that goes with it. Within 2 days it was emptied down to the floorboards. A great job from a good team of lads. Highly recommended.

Graeme hatton

An excellent 5 star service. Firstly the compassion shown due to the circumstances which resulted in having to use their services, not just on the phone but by the team who arrived, on time, to perform the job. Above all a friendly attitude goes a long way in stressful times. Professional from the start to the end of the day and due to the amount of clutter a second day was needed. I could not believe how much was cleared in just one day, it was as if the clutter had it's own clutter to clear. Hope that I never need to use them again, but if I have to clear another property they will be the only people that I call. Highly recommend them. G.Hatton. Cheshire.

I felt in good hands and I, m very happy with the service I received.

Ruth Lawrence

The team arrived bang on time and began work immediately. They continued for five solid days and completed the entire clearance of my late uncles house, which was a case of extreme hoarding over many decades. They even removed carpets, curtains and swept up so the house was ready for sale. They were exeptionally hard working, polite and charged a reasonable price for this incredibly difficult job. Terrific service, absolutely recommended.
