Clear This Junk: Lancashire’s Ultimate Waste Management Pollution Solution.
In an era where environmental responsibility is no longer a choice but a necessity, the waste management industry has faced intense scrutiny. For residents and businesses across Lancashire, finding a service that balances efficiency with ethical disposal has often been a challenge. Enter Clear This Ltd, trading as Clear This Junk—a family-run, female-led powerhouse that is redefining what it means to be a “pollution solution” in the North West.
Operating across Chorley, Blackpool, the Fylde, and Greater Manchester, Clear This Junk has established itself as more than just a person-and-van service. It is a comprehensive waste removal company dedicated to one ambitious goal of maximum recycling and re-use.
A Legacy of Ethical Clearing
While Clear This Ltd is a relatively young name in its current corporate form, its roots run deep into the Lancashire soil. Previously trading as Lancashire House Clearance, the company’s foundation is built on over 30 years of industry experience. Owned and run by Jennie Livesey, the business prides itself on a personal touch that “big box” corporate waste firms simply cannot replicate.
The transition from a standard clearance service to a leading pollution solution was born out of a commitment to ethical standards. As Jennie often emphasises, the company doesn’t just “dump and run.” Instead, they treat every item with the respect it deserves—whether that means finding it a new home through their dedicated auction house or ensuring it is stripped down for raw material recovery.Clear This Junk operates as a licensed and insured “Upper Tier Waste Carrier.”
Their process is methodical:
-
Maximum Re-use: Items that are still functional are diverted to Clear This Auctions or donated to local charities. By extending the lifecycle of furniture, appliances, and household goods, the company prevents the carbon-heavy process of manufacturing new items.
-
In-House Sorting: Before any waste leaves their control, it is sorted at their own facilities. This allows for the capture of recyclables—metals, plastics, and wood—that might otherwise be lost in a mixed waste skip.
-
Materials Recovery Facilities (MRF): Anything that cannot be recycled in-house is transported to state-of-the-art recovery facilities. These plants use advanced technology to further separate materials, ensuring that the absolute minimum amount of residual waste exists.
Compassion in a Time of Need
Waste management isn’t just about rubbish; it’s often about people. Clear This Junk specialises in bereavement clearances and helping those dealing with hoarding disorders. They understand that clearing a home is often “packing a life away for the final time.”
Fair Pricing: The Honest Alternative
One of the most unique aspects of Clear This Junk is their “Fairer Pricing” model. Most clearance companies charge a flat fee to remove everything and then keep the profit from any valuable items they find. Clear This Junk flips this model on its head.
They offer two distinct options:
-
Cost Reduction: The value of saleable items is appraised and deducted from the cost of the clearance. In some cases, if the contents are valuable enough, they will even pay the customer.
-
Auction Option: Customers can pay for the clearance in full and then receive the proceeds from their items sold via Clear This Auctions (minus commission).
This transparency is a direct strike against the “cowboy” elements of the waste industry that profit twice from a single job.
Why Lancashire Chooses Clear This Junk
By choosing Clear This Junk, residents are actively participating in a local circular economy. Whether it’s a single armchair disposal or a large-scale commercial office clearance, the company applies the same eco-friendly rigor to every task.
As Lancashire continues to strive toward greener targets, Clear This Ltd stands as a beacon of how a small business can make a massive environmental impact. They are not just clearing junk; they are clearing the path for a cleaner, more sustainable future for the North West.
