In today’s world, we all want to protect our planet. When we clean our homes, renovate our gardens, or move to a new office, we generate a lot of waste. But have you ever wondered, “Where does all that rubbish go?” Many people don’t realize that improper waste disposal is a big problem for the environment in the UK.
At Ecorid, our name says it all. The “Eco” in Ecorid stands for our commitment to the environment. We don’t just “get rid” of your rubbish; we manage it responsibly. Our goal is to provide eco-friendly waste disposal that is easy and affordable for everyone.
In this blog, we will explain the “Ecorid Promise” and why choosing a green rubbish removal service is the best decision for you and the Earth.
The Problem with Traditional Waste Disposal
For a long time, the easiest way to handle rubbish was to throw it into a “landfill” (a big hole in the ground). However, landfills are bad for several reasons:
- Pollution: Rotting waste produces methane gas, which contributes to climate change.
- Toxic Leaks: Chemicals from old electronics or batteries can leak into the soil and water.
- Space: The UK is running out of space for landfills.
Ecorid was founded to provide a better, cleaner alternative. We believe that most “rubbish” is actually a resource that can be reused or recycled.
1. We are a Licensed Waste Carrier with a Vision
Being a licensed waste carrier is the law, but for Ecorid, it is also a passion. Our license from the Environment Agency ensures that we follow strict rules. We never “fly-tip” (illegal dumping). Every bag of waste and every piece of furniture we collect is tracked. When you use Ecorid, you get a “Waste Transfer Note,” which is your guarantee that your waste is being handled by a responsible, green company.
2. Our “Recycle First” Policy
When the Ecorid van arrives at your house for a waste clearance, our job is just beginning. After we collect your items, we take them to professional transfer stations where they are sorted.
- Wood: Old fences and broken furniture are turned into wood chips or fuel.
- Metal: Appliances and scrap metal are melted down to create new products.
- Plastic & Cardboard: These are baled and sent to specialized recycling plants.
- Green Waste: Garden clippings and branches are turned into compost for farms and parks.
By sorting the waste, we ensure that as little as possible goes to a landfill. Our goal is to recycle over 80% of what we collect.
3. Donating for a Second Life
At Ecorid, we love seeing items get a second chance. If you are using our home moving service and decide you don’t want a certain table or chair anymore, we check its condition. If it is still good, we don’t treat it as rubbish. We work to donate usable furniture and household items to local charities and organizations. This helps people in need and reduces the demand for new furniture production.
4. Reducing Carbon Footprint in Moving and Delivery
Being “Eco” also applies to our man and van service. We work hard to reduce our carbon footprint in several ways:
- Route Optimization: We plan our journeys carefully to use the least amount of fuel.
- Modern Vans: Our vehicles are well-maintained to ensure they are fuel-efficient and produce fewer emissions.
- One-Stop Shop: Since we offer moving, cleaning, and rubbish removal, you only need one van to come to your house instead of three different companies. This significantly reduces the number of vehicles on the road.
5. Eco-Friendly House Cleaning
Our commitment to the planet also extends to our house cleaning service. Many traditional cleaning products contain harsh chemicals that are bad for the air in your home and bad for the water system.
Whenever possible, Ecorid uses cleaning methods and products that are safer for your family, your pets, and the environment. Whether it is an end of tenancy clean or a deep move-in clean, we make your home shine without leaving behind a trail of toxic chemicals.
Why the Ecorid Promise Matters to You
Choosing Ecorid is not just about getting a clean house; it’s about making a positive impact.

How You Can Help (Small Tips for a Greener Move)
While Ecorid does the hard work, you can help us be even greener:
- Use Old Blankets: Instead of buying lots of plastic bubble wrap for your move, use old towels or blankets to protect your furniture.
- Sort Early: Separate your recyclables from general waste before our rubbish removal team arrives.
- Choose Quality: When buying new furniture, try to pick items that will last a long time so they don’t end up as waste next year.
