We try our hardest to recycle everything we can, including taking away all of our own rubbish and your broken lamps, heaters, towel rails, heat pumps etc. When Patrick gets home he breaks all light fittings down to plastic, and metal into separate bins which can be a time consuming job. Then every few weeks he does a big recycle run to our nearest Ecodrop and dump. We estimate by breaking it all down more than 3/4 is able to be recycled.
While we don't pass of any of this extra cost to our customers its still a win win for us ....the dogs get very excited about the trip in the old ute for the dump run ..and the nice staff at ecodrop give them a lot of pats and a treat on the way out....and it leaves the environment better for our children and future grandchildren. Most companies don't recycle due to a mixture of time and cost restraint and just not being aware about the long term damage.
Please if you do wish to have your old parts left for any reason just remind Patrick at time of job and we will happily do this.

Is this something new, as noted that some "conversations" about very little seem to dribble on for weeks ? As this subject is dear to many hearts (pro or con) it could possibly be deemed to be either a personal choice, or maybe a tenet of "Northern Outlook" .. ?? Either reason, let's try not to block a stream with a Hoover dam ! Having said that, I do like "Word -- Count Limit" … may try it on the missus …. hahaha !
