Just a general Q as big bro is 'onit.. but how far do house clearance people go.. ie.. if we've taken family trinkets but still the bookcases are laden with 1979 Encylopidea's, will be have to pay extra for the 'fodder' and not just the furniture.. Blimey, this orphan malarkey is a chore and a half!!!
In my experience, it depends. If they see enough re-sellable stuff they'll pay you. If there's a load of old junk you'll probably have to pay them to take it away.
If the property is full of items unwanted by you,then there's a good chance that very few others want them.If this is the case then you will pay the clearance company for their time ,transport costs and disposal costs.Believe it or not they need to make a profit.
