Resource
Recovery.
We divert as much as we can from landfill. Usable furniture and household items go to charity partners. What can be recycled is recycled. Only what's genuinely unsalvageable goes to landfill.
Donation first.
Landfill last resort.
Estate clearance creates a lot of stuff — and most of it still has life left. We work with Brisbane charity partners to rehome what we can, recycle what we can't, and only landfill what's genuinely unsalvageable.
Where Your Waste Actually Goes
We don't just chuck it all in the same hole. Every load gets sorted.
Concrete and Aggregate
Crushed and reprocessed into road base and fill material. Almost nothing wasted.
Metal and Steel
Every piece of metal gets recycled. Scrap steel, aluminium, copper. Nothing goes to landfill.
Timber and Wood
Sorted for reuse, upcycling or chipping. Clean timber goes to building seconds suppliers. Treated timber processed separately.
Charity and Donation
Usable furniture, clothing and household items get donated to local charities. If someone else can use it, we make sure they get it.
How We Sort
Collect and Separate
On site, we separate recyclables from general waste as we load. Metal, timber, concrete, e-waste, and donatable items all go in separate sections.
Process and Recover
Materials go to the right facility. Concrete to crushing. Metal to scrap. Timber to building seconds yards. Usable goods to charity partners.
Landfill Last Resort
Only genuinely unsalvageable waste goes to licensed landfill. That's less than 35% of what we collect. Everything else gets a second life.
Why It Matters
Lower carbon footprint
Donating and recycling instead of landfilling keeps carbon emissions down on every job — and keeps usable things in use for longer.
Local charity partnerships
We work with Brisbane charities to donate usable furniture, clothing and household items. A significant share of every clearance goes to donation rather than disposal.
Certified facilities
We work with licensed resource recovery facilities and building seconds suppliers across Brisbane.
Recovery reporting
For commercial and construction clients, we can provide documentation of recovery rates and diversion data for compliance requirements.
"Highly recommend Arnaud from Property Clearance Brisbane. Arnaud was very easy to communicate with and attended to queries promptly in what was a complex, logistically time critical situation that he handled with great professionalism. He was able to accommodate the job on a Saturday morning which he carried out most efficiently - the cost was very reasonable, and I value this company's ethical pro-recycling service as an alternative to landfill."
