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.

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.

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.

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.

Finally the judgement has been issued on the long-running Savini case. President Mancini has given the Court of Justice’s verdict in the landmark case against Anselmo Savini, an Italian who was charged with transporting scrap metal from one company to another without the necessary documentation required under local laws for waste transportation.

Savini was originally charged under Italian law, but the case was eventually referred to the European Court of Justice. The argument against Savini’s conviction was that the material he was transporting was of commercial value and was, in fact, on its way to be reprocessed, therefore it should not have been subject to laws designed to control the transport of waste. Unfortunately, the judgement of 25th June 1997, states that the EU legislation covering waste “is not to be understood as excluding substances and objects which are capable of economic reutilization, even if the materials in question may be the subject of a transaction or quoted on public or private commercial lists.” As we understand it, in simple terms this means that scrap metals are classed in the same category as waste being sent to landfill. In even simpler terms, a lorryload of scrap copper worth thousands of pounds is subject to the same laws as a refuse truck full of dirty nappies and used biros.

Surely, the law should take into account the difference between the two? Only a few weeks ago, the US EPA ruled that the majority of scrap metals should be removed from the waste category, yet in Europe, common-sense is obviously superfluous to requirements. The repercussions of this case will affect all aspects of the recycling industries. The pending legal challenge to the UK definition of waste may also be a casualty of European stupidity.

The European Court of Justice seems to be a justice-free zone, we must hope that the UK courts prove wiser. We can only speculate on the reasons behind the Savini ruling: politics, bureaucracy, ignorance, take your pick. As this magazine went to press, the British Secondary Metals Association, who financially supported Anselmo Savini in his fight for justice, were consulting with Savini’s lawyer, Lord Kingsland on the issue. I hope that justice is eventually seen to be done.
