Obstacles

Large distance from the site to recycling and dumping facilities and the unpleasant smell of mould, rotten food and other waste.

Solution

House was completely cleared including the 3 layers of carpeting in each room, all cupboards, garden shed and under stairs. All junk from the main and common rooms was removed. Food and chemicals that we couldn’t take were sorted and organized for the client’s maintenance team to deal with. Dispatched a second truck to deal with the clearance. Transfer of recyclable to respective depots and the remaining to transfer stations for further sorting.

Outcome

The house was left in a condition suitable to be viewed and sold at auction.
