At Zero Waste Group, we believe a house clearance isn’t just about removing items as quickly as possible (although we are quick), but it’s about handling items with care and responsibility. We do this, not just because the items we’re clearing were part of someone’s life in many case, but also because we believe items can be given a second life. When we clear houses and flats, we do this we a commitment to sustainability and reuse – here’s our recycling policy.

✅ 99% diverted from landfill: we’re proud to say that almost everything we taker from a house clearance will be re-used, recycled, or donated. We’re always pushing to make that 100%, so we can help create a future where nothing goes to waste.

✅ Re-use and donation first: many items from a probate, house or flat clearance will still have value and use. Furniture, kitchenware, books, tools, and even some appliances could help someone else. When items are in a suitable and safe condition, we prioritise donation to charities and local community causes, so they can help others rather than being thrown away.
