There could be old furniture that needs to be replaced, garden tools that have rusted or missing parts, outdated electronic devices that don’t work any longer etc. Sometimes it can be hard to find a place to dispose of electronics responsibly as well. And large items like furniture can be hard to transport. In this case, you can hire a large skip in order to transport them.
