How to properly deal with the waste after renovating your home
It’s the end of a long renovation project and you’re finally able to move back into your newly updated home. But before you can relax and enjoy your hard work, there’s one more task to take care of – removing all the waste! This can be a daunting task, but with careful planning, it doesn’t have to be a headache. In this blog post, we will discuss how to properly deal with the waste after renovating your home.

Consider hiring a Waste Removal company
If you’re considering hiring a waste removal company, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, what type of waste do you have? Second, how much waste do you have? And third, what is your budget?
There are many different types of waste removal companies out there, so it’s important to find one that specializes in the type of waste you have. For example, if you have a lot of construction waste, you’ll want to find a company that specializes in construction waste removal.
Once you’ve found a few companies that look promising, it’s time to compare prices. Be sure to look up removal prices for junk, from multiple companies so you can compare apples to apples. And don’t forget to factor in things like fuel surcharges and environmental fees.
Last but not least, be sure to ask the company what their turnaround time is. You don’t want to be left with a huge pile of waste on your property for weeks or even months on end.
Rent a roll-off Dumpster or Mobile Skip
When you’re renovating your home, there’s always going to be some waste left over. The best way to deal with this waste is to rent a roll-off dumpster or mobile skip. This way, you can simply put all the waste into the dumpster or skip and have it taken away.
Plus, it’ll save you the hassle of having to deal with the waste yourself. So, if you’re renovating your home, be sure to rent a roll-off dumpster or mobile skip to make dealing with the waste easy. Trust me, it’ll be worth it in the end!
Donate reusable items
If you have any reusable items leftover from your renovation, consider donating them. There are many organisations that accept donations of gently used furniture, appliances, and building materials. This is a great way to get rid of your unwanted items and help out a worthy cause at the same time. To find a donation centre near you, try searching online or contacting your local government.
Recycle everything you can
After you’ve gutted your home and removed all the old fixtures, appliances, and flooring, it’s time to start thinking about what to do with the waste. Depending on the municipality you live in, there may be special regulations surrounding construction waste. However, in most cases, you’ll be able to recycle a lot of the material from your renovation.
Here are a few tips on how to recycle everything you can after a home renovation:
- Separate all the different types of waste. This includes wood, metal, drywall, insulation, tile, glass, and carpet.
- Check with your local recycling centre to see what materials they accept.
- If possible, donate any reusable materials to Habitat for Humanity or a similar organisation.
- Load everything into a rented dumpster or trailer and haul it to the nearest landfill.
By following these tips, you can help reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills each year. Not to mention, recycling your renovation waste can also save you money on disposal fees. So, it’s a win-win for everyone involved!

Think about getting collapsable trash cans
If you’re looking for an easy way to deal with waste during your renovation, consider getting some collapsible trash cans. These cans are great because they’re easy to store when you’re not using them, and they can be easily transported to the dumpster or recycling centre when it’s time to dispose of the waste.
Plus, they come in a variety of sizes, so you can find the perfect one for your needs. So, if you’re renovating your home, be sure to think about getting some collapsible trash cans to make dealing with waste easy.
Architectural Salvage Shops
If you’re looking for a place to donate or sell your unwanted items from your home renovation, look no further than an architectural salvage shop. These businesses are dedicated to rescuing reusable building materials from demolition and construction sites.
When you drop off materials at an architectural salvage shop, make sure to ask about their tax-deductible receipt program. This will allow you to recoup some of the costs of your home renovation project.
Most architectural salvage shops sell their items by the pound, so be sure to bring a scale with you when you drop off your materials. This way, you’ll know exactly how much money you’ll be getting back for your donation.
Looking for an architectural salvage shop in your area? Check out this directory from the National Association of Realtors. With over 800 listings, you’re sure to find a shop near you.
Restore some of your more valuable pieces
If you’re anything like me, you probably have a few pieces of furniture or decor that are sentimental or have been passed down through the family. While it’s tempting to just get rid of everything and start from scratch, there are ways to restore some of your more valuable pieces.
First, take a good look at what you have. Is it actually worth saving? If so, what will it take to restore it? A little elbow grease and some new paint or fabric might be all it needs.
If you’re not sure, there are plenty of resources online or you can even take it to a professional for an estimate. Sometimes, it’s just not worth the hassle or the expense to restore something. In that case, you can always try to sell it or donate it.
Next, think about how you’re going to use the piece once it’s been restored. Is it going to be a focal point in the room? Or is it just going to be used for storage? This will help you determine how much work you’re willing to put into it.
Finally, consider the cost of materials and labour. If you’re going to do the work yourself, research how much it will cost for supplies. You might be surprised at how affordable some of the restoration products are.
There are a lot of options for disposing of waste after a home renovation. It’s important to research all of your options before making a decision. By taking the time to plan ahead, you can make sure that your home renovation project goes smoothly and that you end up with the results that you want.

![[AD] The sun has finally made an appearance and the boys have been making the most of it by spending it
in the garden.
They’re go-to is always football and they’ve been trying to improve their aim and accuracy with the new Messi Foldable Footlball goal from the #MessiTrainingSystem range.
I love the fact the goal is foldable, making it easy to store away when not in use. It is also lightweight so you can effortlessly pack it up and take it to the park or to a friend’s house.
The Messi Foldable Football Goal retails at £36 and can be purchased from @argos

I am fortunate to be surrounded by strong, powerful women in the form of my mum, sister and mother-in-law (along with many others). With Mother’s Day just around the corner, @BootsUK want to celebrate all the different mums and mother figures we are lucky enough to have in our lives. They have a huge range of Mother’s Day gifts to choose from so we can show them how much they mean to us. (swipe to take a look at some of my choices)
If you want to express love and appreciation for the mother figure(s) in your life, head to Boots.com to find the ideal gift. They have a whole host of gifts, so you can be sure to find something to suit all tastes. Celebrate the #LoveForAllMums this Mother’s Day with Boots.
