FAQs

The Government announced on 23rd March that people should stay at home wherever possible with restrictions on retail outlets opening. In line with current advice, some businesses need to stay open for the public good and to support the nation. Cullens Clearances provides a supporting role to key sectors including the NHS and local authorities and has been granted COVID-19 Critical Contractor status.

We also provide essential services to homes and businesses where waste may cause an environmental hazard or where individuals are unable to dispose of waste themselves.

We recognise that we provide essential services to many of our customers and want to reassure them that we will continue to provide them with a service as long as we are able to do so.

Our usual two hour time slots may differ or be extended to AM & PM calls to allow our staff to carry our collections and clearances safely and to deal with increased number of enquires.

Current Government advice allows us to enter the home to collect waste. However we have brought in more stringent measures to protect staff and customers which does mean waste should be left outside unless the house is unoccupied or the waste can be completely isolated.

We will not be able to enter the home if someone is shielding indoors or is in a high risk group. If you identify to us in advance that a person is vulnerable (but not high risk) and may require additional assistance, we will do our best to accommodate this safely. In person contact should be kept to an absolute minimum and only when strictly required and if required from a distance of at least 2m.

Overview of measures we have put in place:

– Waste should be placed outside wherever it is possible to do so to ensure that there is no close human interaction, this would be where our “contactless clearance services are available please click here more information.

– Where this is not possible waste should be contained in a single room/ area away from other people.

– We are not able to collect if you are exhibiting symptoms or have been exposed to the virus or are isolating due to potential exposure.

– Our staff are taking precautions and only attending work if they are fit to do so, we have provided the necessary PPE to protect them and so they can carry out their work safely.

– Waste from homes with possible cases of COVID-19 and waste from cleaning of areas where possible cases have been identified should be double bagged, using a strong rubbish bag. These bags should be tied and stored for at least 72 hours or they will need to be moved as Category B infectious waste in orange bags (which we cannot help with).
