What is Household Rubbish?

General household waste often includes everyday items like cardboard and paper (e.g. newspapers, magazines, and packaging), metal tins and glass containers (such as food cans, bottles, and jars), along with food leftovers, disposable items, old clothing, compostable materials, and garden waste.

Domestic clearances can range from small-scale removal of these common items to full property clearances—such as in cases where a loved one has passed away and a more thorough service is needed.

Below you will find the categories that different types of waste fall into;

Plastic

Although plastic is incredibly versatile, it doesn’t break down naturally. Once it ends up in a landfill, it can remain there for thousands of years. The good news is that many plastic materials are recyclable—provided they’re sent to the appropriate recycling facilities.

Organic

Organic materials such as food leftovers and garden clippings are biodegradable and break down naturally over time with the help of microbes. These can often be composted, making them an environmentally friendly waste category.

Paper & Cardboard

From gift wrap and greeting cards to magazines, takeaway boxes, and clothing tags—paper and cardboard are all around us. These materials are widely accepted for recycling and should always be separated from general waste.

Liquid

Some liquid waste can safely go down the drain, but not all. Substances like motor oil, fuel, cleaning chemicals, and solvents require special handling to avoid environmental damage. Never pour hazardous liquids down the sink.

Glass & Ceramics

Glass jars, bottles, and even broken ceramic dishes can often be recycled. These items are processed and reused in the creation of new glass products, helping to reduce waste.

Metal

Items like food tins, drink cans, and other metal packaging fall into this category. Fortunately, most metal waste is easy to recycle and can be repurposed efficiently.

Recyclable

Whenever possible, recycling is the most sustainable option. Most metals, cardboard, paper products, and many plastics can be recycled, reducing the burden on landfills and the environment.

Hazardous

Hazardous waste poses a risk to both human health and nature. It includes things like chemicals, oils, and electronic items. Electronics—also known as WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment)—include gadgets like phones, computers, and household appliances. WEEE must be handled by professionals trained in safe disposal methods.
