Step 1: sorting
Items are separated into valuables, reusable goods, recyclables and waste. Anything you asked us to keep is set aside before loading.
Step 2: reuse and donation
Furniture and household goods in good condition are reused or donated where possible. See donating furniture in Kent.
Step 3: recycling
Metal, electricals, wood and card are recycled through licensed facilities. See the Kent recycling centres guide for what goes where.
Step 4: disposal
Only items that cannot be reused or recycled go to landfill or energy recovery at licensed sites, with paperwork.
How to check
- Ask what happens to the items.
- Request waste transfer paperwork.
- Be wary of firms that cannot explain their process. See choosing a clearance company.
