Ever wondered what happens to your waste after it’s been cleared from your home, garden, or office? It doesn’t just vanish — it follows a carefully managed journey involving sorting, recycling, and responsible disposal.

In this blog, we uncover what goes on behind the scenes after rubbish collection, and how companies like LV81 Removals ensure your waste is handled sustainably and legally.

🛻 Step 1: Collection and Transport

After you book a rubbish clearance, our professional team arrives at your location to collect the waste. All items are loaded into our licensed waste removal vehicles — whether it’s:

• Household junk

• Garden waste

• Office furniture

• Construction debris

• Old electronics and appliances

Each load is weighed, documented, and transported to an authorized waste transfer station for further processing.

✅ At LV81 Removals, we’re fully licensed by the Environment Agency for secure waste handling.

🧩 Step 2: Sorting and Categorizing Waste

Once at the waste facility, your rubbish is sorted into categories:

• ✅ Recyclables: plastics, metals, paper, and cardboard

• ✅ Green waste: garden trimmings and compostable items

• ✅ Reusables: furniture, electronics, and materials for donation

• ❌ Non-recyclables: certain plastics, contaminated items

• ⚠️ Hazardous waste (if any): handled by certified specialists

Advanced sorting methods — such as conveyor belts, magnets, air separators, and manual checks — help reduce contamination and improve recycling rates.

🔁 Step 3: Recycling and Reuse

♻️ Commonly Recycled Materials:

• Cardboard & Paper → turned into new packaging

• Plastic Bottles → processed into pellets for new products

• Metal → melted and reused in construction

• Electronics → safely dismantled, with metals and circuits reclaimed

• Wood & Garden Waste → turned into compost, mulch, or biofuel

💡 LV81 Removals works with recycling partners to ensure over 90% of collected waste is diverted from landfill.

🗑️ Step 4: Safe Disposal of Non-Recyclables

Some waste materials cannot be recycled — such as contaminated packaging, non-recyclable plastics, and worn-out items. These are:

• Incinerated in waste-to-energy plants to generate electricity

• Disposed of in regulated landfills, as a last resort

Even in these cases, LV81 ensures strict compliance with environmental regulations to minimize ecological impact.

💚 Step 5: Reporting, Certification & Sustainability

For commercial clients and office clearances, waste audit reports can be provided — showing what was collected, how it was disposed of, and recycling rates.

This supports:

• Sustainability goals

• Environmental reporting compliance

• Corporate social responsibility (CSR)

🌱 Why Proper Waste Disposal Matters

Improper disposal leads to:

• Landfill overflow and pollution

• Soil and water contamination

• Missed recycling opportunities

• Fines for non-compliant disposal

That’s why hiring a licensed, eco-conscious rubbish removal company is crucial — for the planet and your peace of mind.
