Disposing of Your Junk when Refurbishing a Property

Many of us have bought properties that require refurbishment in York PA. Much of the work we can do ourselves. When you first purchase the property then there will certainly be a job like demolition, and stripping out the old contents that are no longer required before starting to do the refurbishment. But what about cheap junk removal when you want to get rid of all this unwanted rubbish? There are a couple of options open to you.

Your Local Recycling Centre

Taking everything to the recycling centre is the first junk removal option available to you. Stripping out everything from the property may include an old kitchen, bathroom, old carpets cupboards or old furniture. You may need to dismantle and despise of an old shed. The property may require a full house clearance. You may need yo dispose of old wallpaper or an old fireplace. To start with a fresh canvas everything that is redundant will need to come out of the property before you start to do any work.
You can do multiple loads to the council recycling centre. This will all need to be split before you go, so I can put the correct waste in the correct bin when you get there. If you only have a domestic vehicle then this may take multiple trips. Always remember that commercial vehicles cannot be taken to the recycling centre, as this would be considered to be commercial waste and would be charged.

Hire a Skip

The second option is to hire a skip for your junk removal. This is actually a great option if you have a large amount of stuff that you need to get rid of from a refurbishment. Basically, you rent the skip from the skip company. They will drop it off at your property and you will then be able to fill this at your leisure. Once it is full then you call the skip company and they will come and pick it up.
A few things to remember when using a skip. They come in different sizes. Therefore thinks about how much stuff you are looking to get rid of. It is much better to rent one skip which is the right size rather than multiple smaller skips as this will be a far more expensive process.

Also, where is the skip going to go? Do you have space on a driveway? This is by far the best option, as you will require a permit if you are to put it on the road. The skip will also have to have the correct lighting. This may take time to apply for and will involve an additional cost.

Also, there is a limit to the height your skip should be filled to. This should only come up to the level of the top of the skip. If you overload it then The skip company may refuse to take it away. It is illegal to have an overloaded skip, therefore you would have to unload the excess rubbish and reload this in an alternative skip.

Check with your skip company exactly. how long you can have the skip for. Many of these are unlimited, but it is worth just checking how they charge as some skip companies will charge for a certain length of time only.

Junk or Rubbish Removal Company

The third option is to get a junk removal company to clear the rubbish for you. Depending on what you are looking to dispose of, this may be a convenient option.

All you need to do is called the junk removal company. They will come to your property. You will instruct them to clear the various items and they will give you a quote on the spot.

They will clear everything immediately. And take this away for disposal. A few things to remember when you are instructing a junk removal company is to ensure that they have a waste carriers’ licence and they are disposing of everything correctly. It is illegal to use a company without a waste carriers licence. And if they are caught fly-tipping your rubbish, then you could personally be liable.

How Much Does Junnk Removal Cost?

Be prepared to pay for this there and then. Also, ask with the junk removal company takes card payments and they have the ability to take the payment while they are at your property.
