Rubbish Removal Crouch End N8 – Household Clearance from a Raised Front Garden

MM Rubbish Clearance collected household waste from a property in Crouch End N8. Bin bags, a large flat-packed carton, a laundry basket of items and general household rubbish had been brought out into the front garden — which sits a full flight of stone steps above the pavement.

The Clearance and Access

Crouch End sits on a hill, and its Victorian terraces sit above the street. The front gardens are reached by a flight of stone steps up from the pavement, which is charming to live with and the single biggest factor in how long a collection like this takes. The load itself is two or three cubic yards of ordinary household waste. Every piece of it came down those steps.

Bags are the worst thing to carry down a flight. They swing, they hide your feet, and an overfull one splits at exactly the wrong moment — so they go down one at a time, held in front rather than slung, and the heavier ones get doubled before they move at all. Having the van directly at the kerb is what keeps that to a short trip rather than a long one. More at rubbish clearance London.

Responsible Disposal

The load was collected within the London Borough of Haringey and taken to a licensed recycling and waste transfer station. The cardboard was separated for recycling and the bagged household waste kept apart from it rather than the whole lot going in as one — the approach set out on our responsible rubbish clearance page. A Waste Transfer Note was provided. MM Rubbish Clearance is an Environment Agency upper-tier waste carrier, licence CBDU418527.

The Result

The front garden was clear in a single visit, with the household bins and the bin screen left exactly where they were — only what the customer had put out was taken. Nothing was carried back up, and nothing sat on a raised front garden waiting on a Haringey bulky collection slot.
