Losing a loved one is probably the most difficult experience anyone will have to face. When this tragedy occurs, there are so many things to think about, on top of the grieving process. You have to consider the funeral, caring for your family and of course, what to do with your loved one’s possessions.
This is where it’s essential to hire a deceased estate cleanup company in Sydney. At Sydney City Rubbish, we’ll come quickly, handle the job with care and ensure that all of your loved one’s possessions are dealt with respectfully. That allows you to focus on more important things at this time, reducing a small amount of stress.
Here’s how a professional deceased estate cleanup can help.
A sympathetic touch
A deceased estate cleanup clearly isn’t like other waste management projects. It takes a sympathetic touch because we’re dealing with your loved one’s possessions. We understand that even the smallest item may have some sentimental significance, so we’ll work with you every step of the way.
Our Sydney waste management professionals will handle all your waste items carefully, and we do ensure that we work closely with you to ensure that nothing of value (sentimental or financial) is taken unintentionally. There’s nothing worse than realising a special item, such as an antique side table, has been taken and disposed of accidentally.
What can we take?
At Sydney City Rubbish, we can remove a wide range of waste when dealing with a deceased estate. We understand that over a lifetime, your loved one will likely have accumulated many possessions, and it won’t be an easy task for you to remove and dispose of them.
This is why the professionals must be engaged. We can take all manner of waste from your deceased estate clean up and ensure that it is disposed of in the most responsible and environmentally friendly way possible.
The items that we take can include:
– Bed frames
– Mattresses
– Couches
– Dining tables and chairs
– Coffee tables
– Electronic waste (old items that can be recycled)
– Appliances
– Outdoor furniture
– Clothing
– Garden waste
– Waste from garages
– Miscellaneous waste.
Once we remove these items, you’ll be able to take the next step in the process, whether that is to sell your loved one’s home, renovate, or move in.
What do we do with your waste?
We handle waste in a range of different ways, depending on the waste type. However, we always ensure that we prioritise sustainability when disposing of any kind of rubbish. That means following the three R’s:
– Reduce
– Reuse
– Recycle.
Obviously, it’s a bit difficult to remove the waste before the fact. Therefore, we’ll focus heavily on reuse, which may include donating items to charity and resource recovery centres. The last step will be to recycle, which we do by taking waste items to certified facilities.
For instance, we often find ourselves removing old appliances and electronics like computers and televisions. Much of the time, these appliances are no longer functional. If that’s the case, we’ll take this e-waste to a certified facility that takes them apart and recycles each component, ensuring metals, chemical compounds, plastics, and more are recycled correctly.
When this occurs, these environmentally valuable materials are placed back into the manufacturing stream, saving on the need for additional natural resources. Knowing that you’re working with a genuinely sustainable Sydney rubbish removal company is a fantastic feeling.
Preparing the home for sale
Often, you’ll need to prepare your loved one’s home for sale. That might require a quick response from your rubbish removal company so that the home can be cleaned, photographed, and then listed by an agent.
This is where a deceased estate cleanup is necessary. We’ll respond quickly, remove all of the waste items in a brisk manner and ensure that the path is clear for your next steps. What’s more, we’ll do it in a safe and considerate manner.
Health and safety on deceased estate cleanups
Health and safety is a concern in all types of rubbish removal projects, including deceased estate cleanups. Removing heavy waste items can be hazardous and thousands of strain injuries are reported each year as a result of unsafe lifting practices. Therefore, attempting to remove all the junk from your loved one’s home yourself is not only time-consuming, but it’s also dangerous.
The best way to go is to leave it to the professionals. We’ll remove all waste carefully, ensuring that the risk of injury is as minimal as can be. We’ve been doing this for a long time, and our rubbish removal experts are trained in safe practices at all times. What’s more, we’re always equipped with the right PPE to get the job done, risk-free.
