Rubbish Removal Stoke Newington N16 – Front Garden Clear-Out Case Study

MM Rubbish Clearance cleared a front garden in Stoke Newington N16. Broken garden furniture, bags of garden waste, umbrella frames, timber and a BBQ had built up against the wall of a terrace, along with a few paint tins at the bottom of the pile. It was collected the same day.

The Clearance and Access

The item list on this job is worth reading in full, because of what it is made of. Two metal deck chairs, two wooden garden chairs, a table, three timber slabs, umbrella frames and a BBQ — that is a load which is almost entirely metal and timber, and both are among the most recoverable materials we carry. A front garden full of broken furniture looks like landfill and mostly is not.

The exception was sitting at the bottom of the pile: paint tins. Liquid paint is hazardous waste. It cannot go into a general load, it cannot go in a household bin, and it has to be kept separate on the vehicle and taken somewhere licensed to accept it. It is the item most often missed in a garden clear-out, because nobody thinks of a half-used tin as hazardous — but it changes how the load is sorted before anything is lifted.

Responsible Disposal

The load was collected within the London Borough of Hackney and taken to a licensed recycling and waste transfer station. Recyclable timber and metal were separated wherever possible and the paint kept out of the general load entirely — the separation set out on our responsible rubbish clearance page. A Waste Transfer Note was issued. MM Rubbish Clearance is an Environment Agency upper-tier waste carrier, licence CBDU418527.

The Result

The front garden was cleared the same day and the paving visible again. The household's wheelie bins and recycling boxes were left exactly where they were — only what had been put out for collection went, which on a front garden full of bins is worth being precise about.
