PTR House Clearance is a division of Phoenix testing and refurbishment LTD. Our aim is to reuse, repair and recycle items which would otherwise be sent to landfill. During a House Clearance we carefully sort glass from paper and cardboard. We separated wood from scrap metal and electronic goods. Electrical goods can be disassembled to access salvageable material which can then be recycled into new components. This extra work may not make us the cheapest House Clearance service in Hertfordshire but we are far from the most expensive.
The process of recycling is obviously more time consuming than simply taking everything straight to landfill but that doesn’t make us an expensive House Clearance service. The legal disposal of waste is very expensive so less waste equals lower bills. Scrap materials also have some value so the combination of reusing and recycling allows us to offer a value for money house clearance service in Hertfordshire.
In the grand scheme of things a long lifetime is still only a few decades. The products we buy and consume will accumulate in the environment and last for generations after we are gone. If an item can be refurbished and reused as well as not rotting away in a landfill site the environmental cost of producing a new item will also be negated. In the past everything had to be new but now, reuse is fashionable. If properly sorted everything from clothing to old furniture can find a new home, but this requires extra effort. We think we owe it to future generations to make the extra effort when doing a House Clearance. It may help the environment and also save our clients money..
Its sometimes said “one persons trash, is another persons treasure” and there maybe some truth in this. Sometimes things hidden in the loft or long forgotten under the stairs have a value. Items from House Clearance can sometimes be sold at auction and this will reduce the bill.
