Destruction @ The Removalist

I got this footage from a removalist's yard which shows a Doyles truck cleaning up. I was told that this particular removalist provides storage spaces, and sometimes if the customers don't pay the bills, this is what happened to their stuff. However, it turns out that these were some items which were un-claimed after a garage sale, following the death of the original owners.

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

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 :(

[bearcat2842]

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

[MitchellM15]

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...

What a waste of scrap metal with throwing away the dryer...considering prices metals are fetching these days.

[MitchellM15]

Oh it's alright, it gets sorted and recycled.

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.

"Municipal trucks" are contractor operated.

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)

[wurzel246]

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

@73Shakes we used hav e one coming to our house,its a scary truck with fierce blades

@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 .

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.

I used to take fridges Freon and all freezers and coolers too... we took everything untill the city changed the regulations
