House clearance – rules and regulations

Hazardous Materials: tight house clearance rules are enforced by Edinburgh Council regarding the disposal of dangerous materials, such as oil based paint and chemicals. These pose major health risks if not handled properly, so it is imperative that they be disposed of responsibly and in compliance with all local laws.

Electronic Waste: One of the most prevalent household items that needs to be disposed of properly these days is electronic waste. These devices, which range from phones to computers and other gadgets, contain potentially harmful materials like lead that, if not disposed of properly can contaminate nearby soil and groundwater.

Recyclables: As more homes try to lessen their impact on the environment, Edinburgh Council encourages people not to put to land fill anything that can be recycled during your house clearance.
