So I’m kinda getting ready to clear out this whole place, house and garden too, and honestly I want to cut down the amount of waste that ends in the landfill. But I’m not sure what’s the best approach, like do you sort recyclable materials before anything else, or is it easier to sort as you go along? I keep flip-flopping on it, because I worry one way feels slower, but the other feels messy.

I’d really like to know what people usually do with the bulky stuff , like old furniture , plus old timber, soil, and that green waste pile. If you’ve done something similar before, what practical methods saved you the most time and effort ? Also, any pointers for planning the clearance, recycling more efficiently, or just avoiding those common mistakes that end up costing extra work would be super helpful.
