Where Does Your Rubbish Go?
Not all rubbish removal is equal. Here's what happens after we drive away, and why we sort instead of dump.
By Matt from Lanky Services ·
Sorted, not just dumped
Good rubbish removal sorts a load before it goes anywhere. Metal, timber, cardboard, e-waste and green waste can all be recycled, and usable goods can be donated. Only what is truly rubbish ends up in landfill.
Donation gives it a second life
Furniture and household items in decent nick can go to charities and second-hand outlets rather than the tip, good for someone else and good for the planet.
Why it matters
Diverting waste from landfill reduces fees and environmental impact. We recycle and donate whatever we can on every job, it is just the right way to do it.
