Serious About Recycling – We wanted to take the time to remind our customers we provide a number of house clearance FAQs at the city clearances website, clarifying the different aspects of our services, however one question that is repeatedly asked of us by new clients is what do we do with the contents of the properties that we clear? This is a very important issue which we take very seriously and always strive to comply with the most detailed requests from our customers. Many people are very worried that the contents will get sent to landfill. At Jeffrey Avery & Associates it is of the utmost priority for us, to deal with the contents in the most effective, efficient and ethical way possible.
Here is a summary of our policies in this respect – Reusing Household Items – Donating to Charity
Reusing any contents that we find in a property is the best thing that can be done for environmental reasons. We make sure that we find a good home for any useful items and reuse any items which we find in a house clearance often by donating to charity. This is the best option because there are no fees involved, no new products have to be made, and as a result it is better for the environment and helps people who may be in need. On top of that, because we team up with local charities you can be sure that people in need can make use of the contents of the property and give them a new lease of life often with a donation going to the charity as well.
Recycling House Contents – Where items cannot be directly reused then we will always try to recycle them. If they are made from plastic, cardboard, glass or metal then there is a good chance that we will be able to recycle them. This prevents them from going to landfill and reduces the amount of resources required to make new products, all of which helps the environment.
Sending House Clearance Contents to Auction – People often have valuable objects in their homes. Sometimes they don’t even know what treasures are there in the first place. Obviously we identify these for the owner and have a high level of skill in this regard; and if appropriate where we can we will allow you to use them to offset the cost of your house clearance. For that reason we have partnered with a number of auction houses to sell the items to make sure that the value is not wasted.
Landfill as a Last Resort – Although we try not to send anything to landfill as far as possible, some items will inevitably end up there. However, this is only when there are no other options available and we do take this very seriously. The amount of items we usually end up sending to landfill is consistently under 15% of all the contents that we collect during house clearances which shows that our commitment is backed up by facts.
Disposing of Property Clearance Contents Ethically is Something We Take Very Seriously – We take our responsibilities very seriously indeed when it comes to disposing of contents from a house clearance in London, Surrey or elsewhere. Clients who are in need of property clearance can be certain that all their items will be dealt with in the best possible manner to prevent them from being wasted. If you are seeking a house clearance company who has a responsible commitment to re-use and recycling and is focused on providing an outstanding level of service to its valued customers, please contact Jeffrey Avery & Associates on 0800 567 7769 today.
