Do you take everything, including the rubbish?
The auction takes everything with resale value. What is left is dealt with in the clearance stage: residual lots to a clearance buyer, metal to a scrap merchant, and waste through a licensed carrier. We arrange these, and the costs are agreed with you before the work starts. Hazardous waste and chemicals need specialist handling and are priced separately.
