When you arrange bulky waste removal, your items don't simply vanish. Every collection must follow Section 34 duty of care: the waste carrier (us) must prove the waste reaches an authorised destination. You'll receive a waste transfer note that records what was collected, where it went, and who handled it. This protects both you and the environment.
Sofas and mattresses require declaration under fire safety regulations (flammability standards); white goods like fridges and washing machines fall under WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) rules and must be de-gassed by a certified technician before recycling—we handle that step. Items in good condition are offered to local charities; broken furniture and metals go to material recovery facilities; general waste to licensed landfill or energy recovery. You'll know the route.
