We've Got Time Makes Time for the Environment: The Importance of Sustainable Practices in Deceased Estate Clean-ups
Deceased estate clean-ups can be a challenging and emotional process. It involves not only preparing the property for sale or rental but also sorting out the deceased person's belongings. While this process is crucial in ensuring that all the assets are appropriately accounted for in the Estate inventory and allocated according to the deceased person's Will, it also raises the question of what happens to the items that no one wants. Do they end up in the tip? Or is there a more sustainable solution that can benefit society and the environment? In this blog post, we will explore the importance of sustainable practices in deceased estate clean-ups and how We've Got Time makes time for the environment.
Unlike the traditional linear economy, which operates on a "take, make, and waste" model, the circular economy works on a "reduce, reuse, and recycle" approach, where resources are kept in use for as long as possible. Sustainable practices, like reusing and recycling, can significantly reduce waste and preserve natural resources. In this system, op shops play a pivotal role by extending the lifespan of pre-loved clothing and other goods through resale.
At We've Got Time, we recognize the importance of sustainability and the impact it has on the environment. We don't take the easy way out by dumping unwanted items in the tip. Instead, we carefully box and select charities and OP shops to donate those items. This ensures that unwanted items find new owners and continue to be used, fostering a sustainable cycle where clothing, old furniture, and household item waste are kept to a minimum, benefiting society and the environment.
In addition to donating to charities and op shops, We've Got Time also recycles materials that cannot be donated. Recycling helps to reduce waste, lower carbon emissions, and conserve natural resources. We do our part in reducing landfill waste by recycling metals, plastics, and other materials that cannot be reused. Recycling is an essential part of sustainable practices and helps to close the loop in the circular economy.
We believe that sustainable practices should play a vital role in all aspects of life, including deceased estate clean-ups. By incorporating sustainable practices into our process, we are not only benefiting the environment but also the broader community. At We've Got Time, we take pride in helping families during difficult times and providing them with a sustainable solution that promotes social and environmental responsibility.
Deceased estate clean-ups can be a challenging and emotional process. However, with sustainable practices, we can make a positive impact on the environment and the broader community. At We've Got Time, we recognize the importance of sustainability and are committed to implementing sustainable practices in all aspects of our work. From carefully selecting charities and op shops for donations to recycling materials, we ensure that every part of the deceased estate clean-up process is sustainable. With these efforts, we can lessen our impact on the environment and promote a circular economy that values the earth's natural resources while benefiting society.
