What Constitutes Junk

Junk:  What constitutes junk?

We are often asked by many of our customers to detail exactly what kind of items we collect and dispose of as part of our house, garden, office and garage clearance work so we thought we’d compile a handy list.

Our junk removal teams are able to recycle many items including the ones listed below

Green Waste/Biomass
Hedge trimmings, trees, branches, grass, trunks & shrubbery

Household Items
Packaging, clothing, sofas, furniture, beds, wardrobes, carpets & tables

Construction/Demolition Debris
Timber, concrete, asphalt, masonry, drywall, roofing, insulation, carpeting & renovation debris

Metal
Ferrous (iron, steel) and non-ferrous (aluminium, copper, stainless) metals

Glass    
Bottles, building glazing, vehicle glass & windows

Plastics
Packaging, bottles, empty drums, mixed plastics

Paper
Office paper, newspaper, corrugated cardboard, paper packaging, phone books, medium-density fibreboard, mixed paper

Tyres
On-road and off-road vehicle tyres (on or off the rim)

Electrical Waste
CRT monitors, computers, electronics, fluorescent tubes, batteries, aerosol cans, personal computers, computer monitors

White Goods
Appliances such as cookers, fridges, freezers, washing machines, tumble dryers & dishwashers

As you might guess this list is by no means exhaustive but should give a flavour of the typical day to day items and junk we collect.  If you’re in doubt feel free to contact us at any of our branches and we’ll be only to happy help.

Steven & Peter came to remove unwanted items from my mums flat, they called first to advise when they would arrive. on arrival they took a look at everything first and ensured I was satisfied with the cost of removal. They were professional, and worked efficiently. Thanks for your service would highly recommend.

Tony and Connor were very helpful and efficient, removing several heavy items without complaint - including a huge wardrobe which had to go down two flights of stairs.

Steven and Alex phoned beforehand and arrived on time, they gave me the price upfront and were very efficient and friendly, they double checked I was happy before giving me the bill. Would use again and definitely recommend.

Dominic and Daniel were fantastic again today! They came when they said they would, confirmed the price we had been quoted and carefully removed everything for recycling. I use Junk It for both businesses and highly recommend them. They communicate really well and are always a pleasure to deal with. Thanks again!
