Packaging Removal on Parkhill Road, NW3 – Collected From a Gated Front Garden While the Customer Was at Work

MM Rubbish Clearance collected a large pile of boxes, polystyrene, plastic wrap and black sacks from the gated front garden of a house on Parkhill Road, between Belsize Park and Gospel Oak, NW3. The customer was at work, so he gave us the gate code. We let ourselves in, cleared everything and locked the gates behind us.

Who Takes Away Cardboard Boxes and Packaging in Belsize Park?

We do, including large one-off loads that won't fit in the council recycling bins. On Parkhill Road it was mostly flattened and empty boxes, a large TV box, polystyrene packing and bags of plastic wrap, plus black sacks of general waste.

Can You Collect From a Gated Property While I'm at Work?

Yes. On this job the customer was at work, so he sent us the code for the front gates. Our team opened the gates, cleared the waste from the front garden and locked the gates behind us. Nobody had to take time off or wait in for us.

If you'd like a collection while you're out, tell us when you book. We'll need the gate code or access instructions, and a photo showing where the waste is. We only take what you've shown us. Here the wheelie bins and the topiary trees by the door stayed where they were.

Can Polystyrene Go in With the Cardboard Recycling?

No. Cardboard is recycled as paper and card, while polystyrene and plastic wrap are different materials, so they are kept apart. That's one reason a big move or delivery quickly overwhelms the household recycling bin. The load was collected within the London Borough of Camden and taken to a licensed recycling and waste transfer station. A digital Waste Transfer Note was issued under our Environment Agency registration CBDU418527 (Carrier Dealer – Upper Tier).

How Long Does a Packaging Clearance Take?

Not long when it's all in one place. The before photo was taken at 12:53pm and the after photo at 1:06pm, about 13 minutes apart. Cardboard and polystyrene are light, so the time goes on handling bulky shapes rather than heavy lifting. The paving was left clear and the gates were locked again.
