Stand as far back from the items as possible to show us the space and the items to be removed. We can assess the volume of items to be cleared, as well as the individual items needing to be removed.
We can also see any obstacles around the items, what tools we will need to dismantle or move large objects, and if necessary, how we will need to clean up after removal is complete.

Items like paint, lightbulbs, batteries, chemicals etc. need to be quantified for accurate quoting.
Step 1 above also allows us to spot items which may incur extra charges, so you don’t need to worry about being a wizz on waste!
If you have items for secure destruction such as servers, laptops, PCs, switches, routers, phones etc., make a list so we can determine the associated costs.

Will we need to enter from the front or back door? What floor(s) are the items on? Is there a shared or service lift or stairs, do we need to walk through workspaces with narrow access points.
This information will allow us to gauge the amount of time we will need to move items through your building and allow us to plan ahead to minimise interruption.
4. 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐤?
Is there a loading bay we can use? If so, are there access or time restrictions? Will we need to stop on the street outside your building, is it single or double yellow lines? Are we likely to get a PCN?
This information will allow us to plan the time it will take to move items from the entrance point of your building to our vehicles.
5. Path from the waste to the loading location.
Describe the path from the loading space to the location(s) of waste in your building or site. Do we have to pass through controlled access areas? Do we have to walk through corporate cafes or meeting areas? Are the walkways narrow?
This information allows us to gauge the time it will take to move your items out of your site and decide if any additional measures need to be taken. These measures could include protection for walls/floors/lifts, additional Collection Team members, more time allowed for your site, or multiple waste removal methods needed.
