What Types of Household Waste Can You Remove?

At Safe:Environment, we offer a comprehensive household waste removal service designed to handle almost every type of non-hazardous waste found in and around your home. Whether you’re having a clear-out, moving house, renovating, or just dealing with everyday excess, we make it easy to dispose of unwanted items responsibly and efficiently.

Types of Household Waste We Can Remove

1. General Rubbish

Includes everyday waste that doesn’t fit in your council bin. This might be excess packaging, old textiles, broken household items, and other non-recyclable materials.

2. Bulky Items

We collect large items that are difficult to dispose of yourself, such as:

  • Furniture (sofas, wardrobes, beds, dining sets)
  • White goods (fridges, freezers, washing machines)
  • Mattresses and carpets
  • Outdoor furniture or equipment

3. Garden Waste

Includes natural, organic materials such as:

  • Grass clippings and leaves
  • Small branches and prunings
  • Weeds and plants
  • Soil (in small amounts)

4. Electronic Waste (E-Waste)

We remove a wide range of old or broken electronics and appliances, including:

  • TVs, monitors, and computer equipment
  • Phones, tablets, and printers
  • Cables, chargers, and kitchen appliances

These items are taken to appropriate recycling facilities to minimise environmental harm.

5. Renovation and DIY Waste

If you’ve just finished a home improvement project, we can help remove:

  • Timber, plasterboard, and tiles
  • Old fittings (sinks, cabinets, light fixtures)
  • Packaging and debris from flatpack furniture or materials

6. Clothing and Soft Furnishings

We collect unwanted clothes, shoes, curtains, and bedding. Items in good condition may be donated or recycled depending on their state.

7. Toys and Miscellaneous Household Items

From broken toys to unused homeware, we can help you clear out the miscellaneous clutter that accumulates over time.

What We Don’t Collect

While we can remove most types of household waste, there are some exceptions for safety and regulatory reasons. These include:

  • Asbestos
  • Liquid chemicals or paint
  • Hazardous or medical waste (e.g. syringes, certain pharmaceuticals)
  • Gas bottles or fuel containers

If you’re unsure about an item, just ask. We’re happy to advise on safe alternatives or direct you to a specialist service if needed.
