Charity Shops Sheffield - 25 of the Best Charity Shops in Sheffield

Charity Shops Sheffield

There are many charity shops in Sheffield. So it didn't make sense for us to create a list of them all. But here are 25 of the best. It is sometimes the case that charity shops will take your furniture or household items. But they do not always need new stock and won't collect just anything. Clothes, small ornaments and books are much easier for them to store than large items of furniture. Such as sofas or bookshelves.

Charity shops will also only take items which are of top quality. Anything which isn't completely clean and in good working order is sent for recycling. Its not such a big risk if they take a bag full of clothes. Just a couple of good items in the whole bag could make it worthwhile. But when it comes to furniture and bulky items, charity shops are much more selective about what they will accept. There are many charity shops in Sheffield. Below are some of the most popular.

What if a Sheffield charity shop won't take my items?

If a Sheffield charity shop won't collect your items then another option is to recycle. Here at Junktastic we offer a man and van service. We will come and take everything away within 48 hours of booking and you don't need to lift a finger. Our service is hassle-free. Just book online or give our friendly office staff a call and they'll support you from inquiry to completion.

Property Refurbishment Waste

Property Refurbishment Waste Sheffield

 

short blog I am going to explain the importance of factoring the cost of waste removal into your refurbishment

projects and budgets.

Whether you are doing your own project at home, you’re a tradesman, or a full-blown property developer, these tips will be relevant for you and will add value to your project.

People often underestimate the amount of money that will have to be spent on waste removal. Because of this I will try to give you a general guide on prices to help you make a informed choice.

For heavy building waste which might be generated by removing walls or a chimney breast removal a skip is usually the best choice, unless there is an access issue.  This allows you to remove the rubble and skip it immediately, keeping site clear and clean.

For other types of waste such as doors, skirting boards, carpets, and furniture; items that are dense and heavy, then the man and van route is the best way forward.

For budgeting purposes, an eight-yard skip across Yorkshire and Greater Manchester costs somewhere between £210-260.  You may also need to apply for a road permit to have a skip outside the property and, if so, there will be a cost associated with this.  Then, the final cost you will need to factor in, if using a skip, is the cost of the labour to fill it.

Man And Van Waste Collection

A man and van service will come in at a lower cost than a skip.  If the waste is easily accessible, if it has been stacked correctly (preferably by waste stream), this will lead to the company spending less time on site. The equivalent to an eight-yard skip will cost in the region of £200-250, no permits will be required, and the labour will be included in the cost of the job .

For a total refurbishment project on a two bedroomed terraced house where it is being taken back to brick, and the kitchen and bathroom are being ripped out for replacement, you could be looking quite easily at three or four skips, plus a couple of man and van collections.  This could end up costing around £2000-2500 in total, which is a lot of money to find if you haven’t factored it in to the budget before you begin!

So, as you can see, both skip and man and van services have their place in refurbishment projects for different types of waste.

I would also recommend always having a waste removal contingency fund within your project’s budget, just in case things pop up.

The Law

And finally, if you are a tradesman and have a skip at your unit, please be aware that you that you will need to give your customer a Waste Transfer Note to guarantee that the waste is being disposed of legally and you will also be required to have a Waste Carrier’s License.  The cost of these will need to be factored into your refurbishment quotes and/or overheads.

I hope those tips have being useful to you.  As always, if you have any questions or comments, please just get in touch.

Fly Tip Clearance Sheffield

FLY TIPPING

In this blog I’m going to talk to you about why fly tipping is such a problem in the Sheffield area. This is based on my own experiences over the 10 years of clearing all types of waste, including fly tipping. I’m sure if you live in that area of the country, you’ll have seen first hand what I’m talking about.

My name is Tom Pickering from a company called Junktastic, which is part of Yorkshires largest ‘man and van’removal company Clearance And Clean Up. Established since 2010.

So, what is fly tipping Sheffield?

Fly tipping is the illegal dumping of waste. This can be any type of waste.  From black bag waste, right through to hazardous waste such as asbestos, fridges, or gas bottles.  The term covers all illegally dumped waste from both domestic and commercial properties.

I thought it might be interesting to talk you through the five main culprits who fly tip, starting with number five, which is the least popular.

Number Five:

In the trade these businesses are known as ‘transfer stations’, such as skip yards, that go out of business.  It’s actually more common than you may think.  These companies stockpile all their waste until they have so much, they cannot afford to get rid of it.  Instead of disposing of it legally, which comes at a price, they literally dump it somewhere and create a fly tipping site.

Number Four:

The man and van rubbish removal “people”.  I won’t refer to them as companies because those guilty of fly tipping aren’t professional.  They charge customers low rates to remove rubbish.  This means they don’t earn enough to cover the disposal fees associated with disposing of waste legally and so they dump it anywhere.  Again, creating fly tipping sites.

Number Three:

Tradesman.  All types of trades from kitchen fitters, bathroom fitters, carpet fitters, really any type of trade.  Often, they don’t have enough waste on site to warrant the cost of a skip.  Or they haven’t got enough profit in the job to be able to pay for professional rubbish removal.  Trades cannot take their vans into a local Council tip.  So, they have a couple of choices.  They can take it home in the van, transfer it to their personal car and take it to the tip, which is a lot of hassle.  Or they can just dump it somewhere creating a fly tipping site.   Please don’t think I am saying all tradesmen operate like this.  Some are incredibly ethical and dispose of everything the correct way.  However, from my years of experience, the number three fly tipping culprit is tradesman.

Number Two:

Businesses. Any type of business, from a take away, to a hairdressers, to a restaurant.  If their bins become full, these businesses tend to dump their extra black bag waste illegally, usually in close proximity to their premises. Because it’s commercial waste they can’t take it to the local Council tip.   The majority of these businesses do not understand they can have a rubbish removal company pick up additional waste as and when they need it.  Or they don’t see the value in using such a service and don’t want to cover the costs of it.

Number One:

Now this may surprise to you.  And, as I said, this is not based on statistics. This is based on ten years of clearing fly tipping sites across the Leeds and West Yorkshire area.

The number one culprit of fly tipping is people like you and me.  I’m talking about household waste.  People having overflowing bins.  They don’t want to have to pay to get rid of the excess.  They may not have transport to be able to take it to a Council tip. Or they don’t have the money to pay for a man and van collection or a skip.  This waste quite often makes it on to the streets.  It may look like it’s just a mattress or a black sack, but any waste that is on the public highway, public property (or even private property that has been dumped without permission), is classed as illegal fly tipping.

So, they are the top five culprits of fly tipping.

Why am I writing this and why is it so important to make sure its reduced or eradicated altogether?

One, it’s extremely unsightly for people who live in the area and, as it can be unhygienic, it can attract vermin such as rats.  Two, it can cause damage to waterways, and harm wildlife, and domestic animals.  And three, it comes at an extreme cost to the government and I’m sure you’ll all agree that government money should be spent elsewhere.

So, for legitimate rubbish removal, an ethical and professional man and van service, call Clearance and Cleanup.

If you have any questions or comments, or even disagree with me, please let me know, I’m always happy to hear from you.

Licensed Waste Carrier Sheffield

Licensed Waste Carrier Sheffield

It continues to surprise me how many organisations fail to comply with one of the basic rules governing waste disposal.  The need for a properly complete Waste Transfer Note from a licensed waste carrier Sheffield.

As well as exposing themselves to considerable risks they are also missing out on opportunities to cut costs and improve their Corporate Responsibility.

This means only ever using licensed waste carriers to remove waste .(Running it down the local tip in the company car is a no-no!). This requiring a Waste Transfer Note for each collection. Waste Transfer Notes will vary in design from each company, but should always contain the followingLicensed Waste Carrier Sheffield

 

 

 

Don't Take The Risk.

Are you an organisation to take the risk.  Where unlicensed carrier clear their waste or were unable to produce a valid Waste Transfer Note and it turns out that the waste is fly-tipped or disposed of illegally. They would be risking criminal prosecution, civil liability and some potentially very negative PR.

However, despite these risks of non-compliance, we regularly attend meetings where a prospective customer has never received a Waste Transfer Note from their existing waste contractor. Often hasn’t even seen that contractors waste carrier’s license. Naturally, being part of a compliant waste company, I’d like to see the authorities do more in terms of prosecuting instances of non-compliance. But, equally, I think much more could be done to raise the awareness of the benefits of being compliant. A licensed waste carrier Sheffield can provide all of the above.

This Could Save You Money.

Over and above avoiding possible fines and legal action. One of the real benefits of insisting on a correctly completed Waste Transfer Notes are how they can help identify opportunities to cut costs for you as the customer. A Waste Transfer Note provides a lots of information such as the weight, volume and material type. As well as address and date of the collection. Reviewing Waste Transfer Notes for the year, when matched against waste disposal invoices, allows you to calculate disposal costs, average collection size and also the frequency of order.  All extremely useful information when comparing alternative waste contractors and prices. Equally, looking at material data should highlight whether it makes sense to segregate certain waste streams (eg. Paper, metal, plastics) on-site for separate collection or reuse to reduce disposal costs.

Bin Store Clean Up Sheffield

Bin Store Clearance Sheffield

Bin Store Clearance Sheffield by Junktastic bin stores normally come hand in hand with a few things but i would say the top 2 are blocks of flats and apartments and offices specially blocks of offices or serviced offices that pay a all in fee.

One of the main issues with this is that there is no pride of ownership and it becomes a bit of a free for all with no waste restrictions per unit and no clear way to measure who is disposing of what. This also heavily encourages people to mix waste as their is no or very little comeback on individuals and this means recycling is reduced.

Junktastic carry out Bin store clearances Sheffield pretty much on a daily basis mainly for the bin store Sheffield following.Property

  • Block Management Companies
  • Ground Maintenance Companies
  • Commercial Landlords
  • Services Office Blocks
  • Pubs Restuarants
  • Schools & Hotels , Leisure Venues

Junktastic in most cased can carry out same day collections specially for regular customers as we understand how fast the problem grow and grow fast.

One thing thats also becomes a issue is the fact commercial bin companies and councils in most cases will not empty the bins if their is excess waste on the tops or on the floor and this is against their policy. This then grows the problem further as that weeks bin collection has being missed.

Some handy tips to reduce bin store problems.

  1. make sure you have enough bins for the amount of people using them.
  2. Make sure people understand the importance of recycling ( Leaflet etc)
  3. Fit CCTV in the communal bin store.
  4. Monitor and schedule bins being empty correctly.
  5. Give tenants details of where they can dispose of bulky waste ( 1st Waste Sheffield)

Landlords Responsibility

Full and untidy bin stores can prove to be a health hazard both from a hygiene point of view and from other health and safety issues such as slips trips and falls as well as a fire hazard this would ultimately be the responsibility of the landlord or management company.
