Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. When trying to reduce your environmental impact the primary focus should be on reducing the amount of waste generated, followed by reusing anything you possibly can, and finally recycling whatever is left. Recycling rather than discarding prevents thousands of tons of rubbish entering landfill sites every year and saves even more chemical by-products entering the atmosphere when waste is incinerated.
Recycling and reusing are always the best options, however, it’s also important to know which items can’t be recycled. Mixing non-recyclables with recycling can actually cause more damage as it may result in the entire load becoming contaminated and discarded. So which items and materials can and can’t be recycled?
One of the most obviously recyclable products, paper is easy to recycle and widely accepted. All types of paper can be recycled as long as it hasn’t been treated (e.g. laminated or waxed) or soiled. Recycling paper not only prevents wastage but also prevents further deforestation.
Aluminium, steel, tin, and copper are all great candidates for recycling. They can be recycled with very little or no material loss and reused endlessly. Whether from packaging material in drinks or food products, or vehicle parts and other industrial products, metal should always be recycled.
Electronics such as computers, phones, or tablets contain many chemicals and materials that are devastating to the environment. Luckily, they are widely accepted for deconstruction where the dangerous components can be either recycled or disposed of safely.
Not all types of plastic can be recycled. Plastic bags require highly specialised equipment and processing techniques that often isn’t available due to cost, for example. Other types of plastics such as those used for hard-plastic bottle caps (polypropylene) are unable to be recycled at all.
Generally, anything from your garden can’t be recycled but often can be turned into compost. Garden cuttings, weeds, removed plants, or soil shouldn’t go into the recycling bin.
Often you will be able to recycle or reuse waste materials at home. However, if your local area doesn’t offer services, or you have a particularly large amount of materials you may require dedicated waste removal and disposal.
By promoting recycling and re-use strategies, we aim to reduce the carbon footprint of our local area and lessen the impact of our consumer society.
At the Cheapest Load of Rubbish our commitment to a cleaner, brighter and more sustainable future is one of our core values and it’s something we continue to strive and uphold every day.
We pride ourselves on our recycling effort and believe that this is the key to ensuring our environment is looked after, not only for our generation, but for the generations to follow.
We all have a duty to help lessen the impact on the environment through better and more effective waste disposal. We do this already in our own homes, separating our cardboard, tin, and glass bottles for collection, and for us, this is what matters too. Our established handloading and sorting process means that we recycle up to 80% of the rubbish we collect, that’s a massive save on waste going straight to landfill sites and littering our beautiful country.
Get in touch with us now to find out how we can help you remove and dispose of your waste rubbish in an environmentally conscious and friendly way.

Our Happy Clients
I just wanted to let you know how impressed we are with your efficient service.
I called at 9.30am and got a quote to remove some household waste, received a call back 30 mins later and your team were then onsite and the job completed within the hour.
Great value for money, courteous service and we will definitely recommend you to others.
Thanks for making everything so stress free!
Hi there,
I called your rubbish removal company this morning, having found you in the Yellow Pages. Your rubbish removal guys called me and told me when they were coming, arrived with smiles on their faces, got rid of the junk – and it was all over and done in a minute!
I will be using your junk removal and collection service again – it’s hard living in a unit and not having anywhere to take rubbish to – your guys were AWESOME!
Please tell them ‘thanks’ from me.
“By far the best team I’ve ever worked with. They truly understood the look I was going for and completely nailed it! I would highly recommend them as a company, you simply just won’t find any better team!”

Hi CLOR,
Just had Dave and his partner here to pick up a load of rubbish.
The junk collection service is everything your web site promised from the initial rubbish removal request to the junk removal pick-up, the service has been great – less than 48 hours.
I ran the numbers on getting a skip, a ute, a trailer and it was absolutely cheaper and easier using your rubbish removal service.
I can’t see how you would do it cheaper by yourself.
The pile was gone in 20 minutes.
Thanks…
