Edinburgh House Clearance Recycling Survey
House Clearance Edinburgh can report that 83% of the public believe that we do not recycle enough in this country. The second annual recycling survey carried out by House Clearance Edinburgh, shows that 16% of households recycled nothing at all in 2014, a figure unchanged on the previous year. Scotland comes bottom of the league with 27% of those asked not recycling, compared to only 7% in the East Midlands. So why don’t people recycle? 1 in 8 of non-recyclers say they wouldn’t know where to go; a third say they simply cannot be bothered or find it too much hassle.
However distant recycling sites are the biggest deterrent. This year more people (36%) believe that local authorities should ensure material is recycled, while 18% put the responsibility on Government. The majority of people however believe it is up to the individual. Only 6% place the burden on retailers and only 9% on manufacturers, contrary to the EU ‘producer responsibility’ doctrine. Of those who do recycle, 74% said they regularly recycled newspapers and magazines and 70% recycle glass. Composting participation rose by 3% to 11% and can recycling increased by 6% to 37% of those questioned. The biggest rise was in cardboard and paper recycling, up by 10% to 38% of respondents.
Market report for recycled materials published
House Clearance Edinburgh asks how can Government policies increase demand for recycled material? Recycled materials are underused becuase of a failure to include the environmental costs of a virgin material in its price, combined with poor public perception.
House Clearance Edinburgh concludes that recycled aluminium, steel, paper and glass all have a lower impact on the environment than raw materials, in contrast to recycled HDPE and LDPE which have a greater impact than virgin plastics. Suggestions to improve markets for recycled materials include:
• Subsidies of recycled aluminium rather than a tax on the raw material.
• A tax combined with a voluntary industry agreement for newsprint to work towards a certain level of recycled content.

A quick note to say thanks for the speedy and efficient way in which you managed my recent house clearance in Edinburgh. The buyers had put me in under pressure to clear the house before completion and It was refreshing to see a company who provide a value for money and timely service. I would use your services again for sure. Malcolm In Duns
