Clearing out, the right way.

What can be recycled, what needs special handling, and what shouldn't go down the refuse chute.

Where to start

  1. Sort by where things go. Electronics and batteries go to e-waste collection, working items can be sold or donated, and bulky items such as furniture and mattresses need a booked collection or a disposal service.
  2. Get e-waste right. A battery in the refuse chute is a fire risk, and a phone recycled without being wiped still holds your data. Here's what goes where.
  3. For furniture, mattresses and general decluttering, our sister site Junk to Clear has already written the guides, so we've linked them below rather than repeat them.
