Be honest . . . how many times have you thought:
“I really must sort out the garage.”
“We need to do something about that loft.”
“I can’t even see the floor in the spare room anymore!”
We all put it off during the darker, colder months. But now that summer’s here, the lighter evenings and warmer weekends make it the perfect time to finally tackle those long-overdue clear-outs.
Whether you’re preparing to move house, making space for visiting family, or simply craving a less cluttered home, here’s how to make your summer sort-out smoother, smarter and more sustainable.
Why Declutter Now?
There’s no better season to clear the chaos. Here are a few common reasons people start their decluttering mission in summer:
- Selling your home? First impressions count. Declutter before viewings to make rooms feel bigger and more welcoming.
- Guests coming to stay? Time to reclaim that spare room from the mountain of “I’ll sort this later” piles.
- Busy family life? A more organised home makes day-to-day living easier and less stressful.
- Garage, garden, or loft chaos? Let’s be honest – they’ve become unofficial dumping grounds over the years.
- Just had enough? Decluttering can be incredibly therapeutic. Less mess = more headspace.
♻️ Be Smart with What You Clear Out
Before you load up a skip or head to the weighbridge, take a moment to separate anything that could be reused or rehomed:
- Donate good-quality items to charity.
- Offer furniture or toys to local families on community groups.
- Sell things online (if you can face it!) to give them a second life.
After you’ve taken care of anything worth rehoming or reselling, we’re here to handle everything else, ensuring your waste is dealt with responsibly and with minimal environmental impact.
Skip Hire Made Easy
If you’ve got bulky waste, broken furniture, or general clutter to clear, skip hire is the easiest way to get it gone – fast.
At Wellington Waste, our Mini Skip (2 yards³) is perfect for household decluttering. It fits on most driveways and can hold the equivalent of over 8 wheelie bins of waste. If you uncover more than expected (happens more often that you think!) we offer skips in a range of sizes to suit your project.
Need the skip placed on a road? No problem – we can even arrange the permit for you.
Just Dropping Off? Try the Weighbridge
If you’re sorting your space bit by bit and want to drop off loads as you go, our weighbridge offers a quick and flexible solution.
Here’s how it works in 4 easy steps:
- Drive in with your vehicle.
- Weigh your load on arrival.
- Unload your waste – no need to sort it.
- Reweigh and pay. Then you’re on your way!
Prices start from just £10 + VAT, and you don’t need a minimum load. Perfect if you’re doing small, regular drop-offs.
