There are a million and one things to remember as you pack up your possessions in your old home for pastures new so who would want to add an afternoon of rubbish removal to the occasion?
Yes, you are leaving them behind but do you really your former neighbours to be told what an untidy mess you'd left for the new owner of the home you've just left?
It used to be so simple; all you had to do was hire a skip for the day, lob in any items you didn't want to squeeze into the cupboards and under the beds of your new home and then drive off in the removal lorry without a care in the world.
Sadly it's not that simple any more. Unwanted items and refuse have to be sorted into appropriate groups for recycling and even reuse. Personal papers have to be shredded or incinerated to prevent identity theft and inevitably that charity shop where you planned to donate all your unwanted clothing is closed or is not accepting items.
For these reasons and more, a growing number of people are choosing to call in a specialist rubbish removal service to gather together all refuse and unwanted items from their homes when they decide to move.
Firms such as Clearabee, one of the United Kingdom's largest and most trusted rubbish removal specialists, are able not only to uplift your refuse, old newspapers, broken electrical equipment and broken furniture and take it away but they can ensure it is recycled or reused in the most environmentally sustainable way.
For example, while the couple of bent wire coathangers from the average home, are merely a nuisance to dispose of when one home's contents are cleared, with Clearabee, these can be thrown on the pile of other wire hangers from thousands of homes to create a regular supply of metal in viable quantities for recycling.
The same is true of vinyl records, chipboard panels, old shoes, dressing table mirrors and thousands of other items that are too awkward to deal with on their own.
Only a large rubbish removal service can amass quantity of such worthless items to make it economically viable to recycle their component parts or materials and help reduce the environmental impact on our planet.
Then there is the opportunity to use moving to a new home as the chance to shake off all those random objects you chose to tuck away in the belief that “they will come in useful one day” – the broken toaster you never got round to repairing; the old newspapers and magazines you couldn't throw out; the cardboard boxes long discarded electrical equipment was supplied in or that cupboard of jars kept for the season when you finally decide to make your own jam.
The corners, cupboards and attic of your old home have been jammed with this kind of thing for years but do you really want to go to the trouble of packing them all to make your fresh new home equally cluttered from the day you move in?
Who wants to spend the first few days in their new community having to turn down invitations to pop round to the neighbours for drinks or dinner because you are still trying to find cupboard space to squeeze in hundreds of 7″ singles that you don't even have a turntable to play them on?
It's better all round to call in the rubbish removal experts to deal with those concerns and let you and your family concentrate instead on making yourself at home in your new community.
