Trash Talk

Selling houses is a very high pressure role, and ensuring that you are fully knowledgeable of all your properties details is crucial if you want to make that big sale. 

However, have we ever mentioned the importance of sustainability in the estate agent, real estate world? Not only is introducing a more sustainable way of living important for our community and world, but it's also becoming increasingly important for a more green real estate industry.

 This time we are taking a deep dive into the 10 household items lying around your house that you didn't know you could recycle or reuse!

From Old CDS & DVDS (Are they still a thing?) to how to get rid of your old, scraggy toothbrushes, this blog has got it all the info you need on what items can be recycled. 

Picture this. 

You're settling in for a cosy evening at home when you hear it – the unmistakable scurry of tiny feet in your walls. Your heart sinks as you realise you've got unwanted guests – rats.

Rats are a bit like having a teenager sat upstairs playing video games, you can't see them, but you can hear them. Now let's be honest, the rats won't make as much mess as a teenager, or cause as much continuous stress, but they can be a real pain! 

Dealing with a rat infestation can be unsettling and downright frustrating, but fear not! 

Smelly bins are part and parcel of dealing with waste management.

All the nappies, food waste and other odour fuelled items that we chuck away, bubbling at the bottom of the bins, just waiting for you to lift the lid again, so that you can get wafted with that musky smell on a hot summers day. 

But, do bins have to be smelly all the time? Is there anyway that homeowners, business owners & renters can keep on top of this? 

All businesses and households across the UK have a duty of care to manage waste safely and without harming the environment. 

The waste duty of care basically ensures that everyone involved in the waste management chain, which includes homeowners, business owners & waste companies, take safe and appropriate measures to prevent environmental harm and effectively handle all waste produced. 

But, why are these notes so crucial?

When it comes to private residential or commercial waste management, there are a lot of costs associated with this & a lot of factors that determine the cost.

We all see the big wagons and bins being wheeled away, but have you ever wondered of the true breakdown of your waste collection costs? 

In this blog, we'll take a closer look at what goes into the fee of handling our trash. From picking it up to sorting it out, we'll explore how factors like collection, processing, and following the rules all impact the waste collection cost.
