Preparing For Your Winter 2022 Clear Out

William Thompson & Son • 16 November 2022

Clearing out excess junk and unwanted items as the seasons pass will allow you to put a stop to the unnecessary accumulation of rubbish. Winter is notoriously bad for such issues, with Christmas decorations, wrapping paper and all manner of built up objects likely to take up unnecessary room. Prepare for this routine task with assistance from WM Thompson & Son Ltd - including handy advice on forward planning, disposing of the junk via a landfill site once organised and enlisting the help of others.


Be Decisive

The worst thing you can do is get to the stage of conducting a large-scale Winter clear out, and not knowing what to keep and what to dispose of. This dilemma can eat into your valuable time, and grind your journey towards a cleaner home to a complete halt. Instead of nit-picking whenever you discover a tucked away old item or long-forgotten item of clothing, be decisive with the action you take, and don’t spend too much time dwelling on it.


Organisation And Planning

Going into a Winter clear out with an idea in mind of how you plan to clean is certainly sensible, and remaining organised throughout should ensure you don’t miss out on any areas in particular. Planning will involve getting together the right storage for your excess objects, ensuring there is room to stash away excess junk and familiarising yourself with how to separate different items into relevant recycling groups.


Easy Disposal

Once the excess items in question have been collected up and organised into areas, disposing of them all in a safe and secure manner becomes the main task - and this couldn’t be easier with our accessible local landfill site. When we encounter waste that is non-recyclable, we will always dispose of it safely and correctly, working closely with environmental agencies to ensure that we conform to all current regulations.


A Helping Hand

Two pairs of hands are better than one, and any Winter clear out is likely to be easier if you consult friends and family. Gamify the process and teach your kids about recycling as you go, turning the entire clear out into a competition to see who can collect the most of any one recycling group. Whatever you decide, there are all sorts of ways to speed up a time-consuming junk clearance, and this is just one of them.
