Here in the greater Copenhagen area we have 4 common ways to get rid of bulky items: 1) You haul it to the municipal transfer in your own car. 2) You get a municipal rolloff container that is emptied at a private transfer. 3) a municipal compacting truck pick it up and goes to the same private transfer. 4) in some areas it's loaded to a municipal flatbed with typically 6-9 rooms and some goes directly to recycle, some I thing is sorted elsewhere.
If it's a freon fridge, it's a problem for the environment / ozone layer and should never be done. Unfortunately it happens everywhere everyday I think. Here in DK it's illegal. The freon rules are so strict that authorities even took the freon gas bottles from a cargo ships aircondition system when they entered a danish port. Saw that on TV this week following a documentary on SKAT (danisk tax/duty/import authority)
As the new owner of ej shaw removals I can reasure everyone if you have storage with us you gear is is very safe.This video was taken before I purchased the business. The reason this furniture was going to the tip is because the owners of the furniture had passed away years ago and no one came to claim this furniture so they had a garage sale and this was the furniture that didnt sell.
@saralieification i was just going to say never mind it's recycling potential if the removal company was bilked out of money would it not have been better to try and sell what they could and get some money back . i am glad to hear that was the case .
Yes that's the sad thing, governments should try better to invest in processing facilities... but guess there's an obstacle there :/ In the whole of Sydney where I am, we've only got 2 major facilities that sort mixed waste... majority of the remainder goes you-know-where, all that precious material to waste :(
Yer unfortunately usually that's the case with mixed waste, but there is still a reasonable amount of facilities that sort MSW and C&I waste. In the end, just depends who's involved and where everything happens...
wow that's really stupid throw away everything like that.. they should sell off the stuff when they don't pay! I know one of the storage places around here do that, probably all or most of them. really good video tho! I'm glad the metal gets sorted for recycling! anyway 5*
actually metal prices are down the toilet now! around here it's about 80 bucks a ton for PREPARED and tin your lucky if you get $15 a ton! aluminum cans are only around 35 cents a pound too.. not even worth it now unless you live on a farm or something and can stockpile it and hope it goes back up
Almost like bulky item collection--I loved it!! Liked the part around 2:34 where it shaved off just the top of whatever appliance that was and left it for the next cycle! Priceless!! Was the guy a nice driver? I know that other guy didn't want to be seen at 3:25!! LOL! Thanks for the post!! Definitely not a fav!!!!
Personally I loved that part where the packer did a clean slice through the top of the dryer, no doubt agree about it being priceless! :D The driver's a very friendly bloke, all the guys that work there that I've met are awesome.

"Municipal trucks" are contractor operated.

i didnt think you could crush a fridge in a dustcart cos of the gas tank in them round our way you have to take them to a waste transfer station

Not many facilities sort mixed waste; that is the exception, not the norm.

Mitchell, if a trash truck collects it, 99% of the time it does NOT get sorted/recycled. It goes straight to the dump buddy.

What a waste of scrap metal with throwing away the dryer...considering prices metals are fetching these days.
bearcat2842 3 years ago
Forgot to mention the fridge too. Hope the freon was removed...
bearcat2842 3 years ago
Oh it's alright, it gets sorted and recycled.
