What happens to the objects and waste from a clearance?

A clearance does not mean loading everything into a truck. Much of what leaves a home can still be used or recycled.

1. What goes back to the family

Papers, keepsakes, valuables and everything on the agreed list are set aside and returned under seal.

2. What can be donated

Furniture, crockery, books or clothes in good condition can have a second life. With your agreement, we pass them on to partner charities. Textiles and upholstered furniture exposed to pests or fluids are not donated.

3. What is sorted for recycling

Paper and cardboard, metals, wood, glass, electrical and electronic appliances, bulky waste: each stream follows its own channel. Sorting rules and collection points depend on the region and the municipality.

4. Special waste

Some waste needs a specific channel: paints and chemicals, batteries, medicines, healthcare waste, materials suspected of containing asbestos. They never go with ordinary waste. Medicines, for example, are taken back to the pharmacy.

Why it matters

Sorting takes more time than removing everything in bulk. It is also what makes it possible to return as much as possible to families and to donate rather than throw away. Your quote states how the items will be handled.
