Handling House Clearance Yourself - The Easy Way

The easy way is not always "the lazy way", but it will definitely facilitate your exercises and will show you that house clearance can be much easier than you have expected. Whether it’s time to get rid of the rubbish after deep cleaning the entire house or just after a quick clean-up of the loft and the garage, check out the following easy tips.

  1. Do a quick sorting and de-cluttering of the objects that have to be disposed of. Put aside the smaller and easy to handle objects, and leave the big and heavy scrap items for professional heavy lifting. Make two, three or more piles of junk, according to the type of the objects - one pile for the wooden and biodegradable materials, one pile for the metal objects and one for the textile/paper objects. These are only three examples of the main types of junk that should be disposed of carefully and taken separately to the recycling centres. But that’s only if you decide to recycle instead of re-using or selling the items.
  2. Decide what to do with the junk. When you collect all the waste from the property clearance, you will need just another few minutes to determine whether you can repair and use some objects, or the scrap objects can be turned into completely different things such as vases, pots for flowers, decorative elements, etc. Another great tip is to sell the old and useless objects still in good condition to the second-hand dealers or on the biggest online selling platforms. Not to mention that donation is the fastest and easiest way to get rid of a large part of the household rubbish that’s still in good condition. Then, consider recycling as the greenest method for waste disposal. You can do it by yourself and with your own car, but if you want to avoid driving back and forth several times, then hire a pick-up service.
  3. Take full advantage of a professional clearance service as the best and easiest way to reduce your efforts and time spent for doing everything yourself. The professional clearance companies have experienced crews. Their members can deal with narrow spaces, small doors, steep stairs, lack of light, heavily messed up rooms or basically with all the situations that can usually be an issue for you. The experienced crew uses powerful light torches, strong ladders, protective gloves for heavy lifting and other professional tools that can make everything look easier. Another benefit is that the clearance company can assess the condition of the rubbish, as well as propose to recycle a part of it.
  4. The easiest way to handle a house clearance is to not let your home need a clearance in the first place. This means regular and thorough deep cleaning, as well as organization and reorganization of all the rooms and areas of your home. That means not only the kitchen and the living room, but also the terrace, the garden and the other outdoor areas. If you have a garage, a basement/cellar or a loft, then they should be high on the agenda too. These are usually the places where people keep hoarding useless and scrap objects for years. The best way to deal with the issue is regular clearance. Organize everything in heavy-duty boxes or schedule the making of a new cabinet with numerous shelves as your next DIY project. Take care of the light in the place where you are hoarding the useless items, and if you are planning to store them for a longer period of time, cover and protect the objects from mould, insects and other issues.
