Covering Strathkinness, Student quarter and St Andrews Old Town, and every St Andrews postcode. Garages across St Andrews emptied in a single visit: tools, timber, paint, tyres, bikes, old furniture and the boxes nobody has opened since the last move. Sorted on site, reusable items rehomed, the rest recycled through the right streams.
A garage in St Andrews is rarely a garage. It is a store for everything that did not have a home, and clearing it means dealing with the awkward stuff: tyres, paint, oil, batteries and electricals that each need their own route. We know the routes and we do the lifting.
Garage clearances are slow to do yourself because everything in them is heavy, dirty or awkward. Tyres and paint are refused at some sites, oil and batteries need hazardous routes, and the timber, metal and cardboard need separating to recycle.
Add the sheer volume — a single garage is typically a full van — and it becomes a weekend of trips to a recycling centre that may not admit a van at all. A crew with a van clears it in two to three hours.

Yes. Tyres go to a licensed tyre recycler, paint is taken if the tins are sealed or the paint hardened, and oil and car fluids go on a hazardous route. Tell us they are there so we bring the right containers.
No. Tell us what you are keeping and we clear the rest, sorting as we go. Pre-sorting into keep and go piles saves a little time and money but is not required.
Working tools and bikes go to reuse partners such as tool libraries and bike projects where possible. Broken ones are recycled for metal.
