Conor Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 We're starting the tedious demolition process in our bungalow while we wait for planning permission to come through - doing it by hand with intention it save or recycle everything from the house. The attic is filled with loose polystyrene balls / grains... It's a mess and covers all 115m² of the loft. Any suggestions on how to get rid of it? I want to keep it seperate from the plaster etc and dispose of it properly. Super large industrial vacuum? Calculated that there is about 10m³ of the bloody stuff! Largest one I've found online is only 60l. And then disposal.... I've been told I can recycle clean EPS... But this will be full of dust and crap and the council guys couldn't give me a straight answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiehamy Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 If you can bag it somehow, the right wording on gumtree could see it gone in a day. I sold all my spare insulation in jig time? 'ceiling insulation balls free' should do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iSelfBuild Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Have the same issue on a refurbishment project I'm doing. Need to pull down the old wattle and daub ceilings and there is loads of dirty, dusty, spider infested vermiculite beads all above. Can't wait!

Conor Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 Thanks everybody. I think I'll punch a few holes in the ceilings and brush it down in to 1m³ bags and see if anybody wants it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
