Do you have bulk rubbish on your hands? There’s more to its disposal than standard rubbish and it’s important to understand the process and guidelines to ensure it’s disposed of properly. The good news is you have options!
Bulk Rubbish Explained
Bulk rubbish is classed as any type of rubbish that won’t fit in the bin the council provided and regularly empties. It could be a sofa, washing machine, fridge, bed, or a combination of items. The category includes furniture, white goods, appliances, mattresses, bulk garden waste, electronics, batteries, and construction materials.
So, if you’ve been renovating and need to clean the site up before the next stage, you need bulk rubbish collection to clear your feet. If you’re moving house, buying new furniture, or just having a clearout, you need a helping hand!
Understanding what is classed as bulky rubbish is key to ensuring you follow the correct process. Some large items require careful handling and must be taken to a specific site for processing. The government is trying to restrict how much we send to landfill and Cheapest Load of Rubbish is on board with the aim to recycle everything possible.
The council does offer a service to uplift old appliances and bulky items, but most councils limit this to one free collection a year and then require payment the rest of the time. So, if you’ve used your one-time collection, you’ll need to consider the cost versus using a private company to uplift it or making the run to the landfill yourself.
The Need For Proper Disposal
Whether it’s a washing machine, an old fridge, or broken laptops – these items contain damaging chemicals that can leech into the surrounding environment if they are improperly dumped. It’s vitally important that we take eco-friendly measures when disposing of any type of rubbish and bulk rubbish isn’t just unsightly, it can damage community wellness. Taking these items to the correct facility will ensure every part that can be recycled is, it keeps our community safe and clean, and it benefits the environment.
Before you jump into your clear-out, consider whether any of your items can be donated. If it works and is in good condition, there’s a good chance someone will want it. If it’s not an item you’d donated to your local op shop, take a look at community social media pages to sell or give them away. This is particularly useful if you have a lot of old furniture on your hands that could be upcycled.
Preparing Your Bulk Rubbish For Collection
The best way to prepare your rubbish is to sort through it so you know what’s getting shipped out and what you’re keeping. If it has doors or drawers, you should open them up and double-check the item is empty.
