Information on managing your waste.

Efficient Waste Management – Key Things You Need to Know

At Sling It North Devon, we’re passionate about helping our clients manage their waste responsibly, affordably, and in an environmentally-friendly way. Whether you’re tackling a home renovation, a garden clearance, or a full property cleanout, proper waste segregation can make a huge difference—not only to your quote but to the planet, too.

Why Proper Waste Separation Matters

We always advise our customers to separate their waste at the source wherever possible. Here’s why:

• Lower Disposal Costs: When waste types are mixed—such as soil, rubble, green waste, plasterboard, and general rubbish—they’re classified as mixed builder’s waste, which is significantly more expensive to dispose of.
• Improved Recycling Rates: By keeping materials separate, we can send more waste to be recycled rather than to landfill.
• Environmental Responsibility: Sorting waste helps reduce your carbon footprint and supports sustainable waste practices.

What Waste Should Be Separated?

To help you get the best value and do your bit for the environment, we recommend keeping the following materials in separate bags or containers:

• Rubble & Hardcore (e.g., bricks, concrete, tiles)
• Soil & Earth
• Green Waste (e.g., branches, leaves, grass clippings)
• Plasterboard
• Wood
• General Household or Builder’s Waste

Tip: Use labelled refuse sacks, rubble bags, or heavy-duty bulk bags for easy sorting.
