The order used when planning a clearance
- Retain: identify and protect items the customer wants to keep.
- Reuse: separate suitable items when a safe receiving route is available.
- Recycle: separate practical material streams such as metal, wood, electrical equipment and textiles.
- Recover or dispose: use appropriate controlled routes for the remaining material.
Records and duty of care
iTrade Recycling Ltd is registered with the Environment Agency as an Upper Tier carrier, broker and dealer under CBDU521652. Customers can inspect the current record through the waste carrier verification page. The quotation should identify specialist material and the transfer record required for the job.
How reuse decisions are made
Condition, safety, demand and receiving capacity determine whether an item can be reused. A reusable item is not automatically suitable for every charity, buyer or household. Items are kept separate while an appropriate route is assessed.
Reporting environmental performance
iTrade does not publish a single recycling or landfill-diversion percentage because the mix differs by project. Any future percentage will state its reporting period, material scope and calculation method.
What customers can ask
- Which items will be retained and how they should be labelled.
- Which material categories need separate handling.
- Which transfer records apply and who keeps them.
- How electrical equipment, upholstered seating, metal and mixed waste will be routed.
