Home Renovation in Struga and Ohrid: What Can Go in the Container?
A guide to renovation waste in Struga and Ohrid — tiles, bricks, plaster, old kitchens, wood, and what needs confirming with us first.
Renovating a bathroom, kitchen, or an entire house produces a lot of different types of waste — from broken tiles and old plaster to doors, windows and kitchen units being replaced. This guide sums up what usually goes into our containers and what's worth a call or message beforehand.
What usually goes in the container
- Broken or removed tiles
- Bricks and concrete blocks
- Old plaster and render
- Old kitchen or bathroom units
- Old wooden doors
- Removed wood flooring or parquet
- Wood waste from the renovation
Most typical renovation waste fits here without any issue. If you're renovating a single room, a small or medium container is often enough, depending on the volume.
Windows and glass — need confirming
Old windows are commonly removed during renovation, but broken glass can be hazardous during loading and transport if it isn't handled properly. If you have windows or glass to remove, let us know in advance — that way we make sure the right safety precautions are taken while loading.
Paint, chemicals, batteries, asbestos — not in standard containers
These materials need separate handling and can't be thrown in with the rest of the renovation waste. If you come across material like this during a renovation — for example, old paint tins in a cellar, or flooring with suspected asbestos content in an older house — call us before loading it. We don't handle hazardous material ourselves, but we can advise you on what to do.
For builders and work crews
If you're a construction crew working several sites at once in Struga and Ohrid, we can coordinate deliveries and collections planned around your work phases — for example, one container during the demolition phase, and another later during finishing, when waste is lighter but a different volume.
Separate heavy material when it makes sense
If the amount of concrete or brick is very large compared to the rest of the renovation, it sometimes makes sense to treat that as a separate container from lighter waste like wood or furniture. Tell us the overall volume and we'll suggest whether separating saves time and space.
Either way, if you're not sure whether something belongs in our container, it's best to ask before loading it — send us a photo on WhatsApp and we'll get back to you quickly.
Do you take waste from demolishing a wall?
Yes, concrete and brick from small to medium demolitions fit our services — for very large quantities, contact us in advance so we can plan the right container or number of collections.
I have old kitchen units and some tiles — do they go in the same container?
Usually yes, in one mixed container — just tell us the approximate amount of each so we can recommend the right size.
I found material I think might be asbestos — what should I do?
Don't load it into our container. Call us to discuss the situation — asbestos and similar materials need specialized handling outside our usual services.
Need a container?
Tell us where and what needs removing — we'll get back to you quickly with pricing and timing.
