Skip It, Don’t Tip It

Skip Units Group are ‘over the Troon’ after supplying South Ayrshire Council with three Randalls Simpak 1800T traversing waste compactors and a variety of containers for its new, state-of-the-art Community Recycling Centre at Troon in Scotland.
The machines have already proved to be a runaway success story since installation, after fulfilling measures to decrease landfill levels and improve on environmental targets.
The 1800T machine is very powerful and compacts waste so efficiently that an average of 10 to 12 tonnes can be removed in one load. Compacting reduces costs as compacted waste requires fewer journeys to transport the same volume to landfill and with fewer large service vehicles are required on site. The site is also served by five 40 yard compaction containers and one 20 yard RoRo container manufactured by Skip Units in Derby.
The amenity was officially opened on June 26th by Councillor Alistair Kerr, the Convener of South Ayrshire Council’s Commercial and Business Services Committee and was funded by the Scottish Executive’s Strategic Waste Fund. It was designed and built by South Ayrshire Council’s Waste Management and Roads sections.
The new centre replaces an existing one that had become too small to serve the requirements of the community. A full range of facilities has been provided to allow residents to separate and then recycle or compost as much of their household waste as possible.
The Troon centre is piloting an innovative compost return voucher system where compost derived from South Ayrshire garden waste, which the Council routinely collects from residents in brown, wheeled bins, can be purchased at the site with vouchers on sale in the town. Buying a voucher gives the purchaser a re-usable 70 litre hessian sack which can be filled from a 16 tonne bay at the centre. A voucher system was chosen so that staff would not have to process cash. If successful, the scheme may be extended to other locations in South Ayrshire.
Last year South Ayrshire recycled and composted 36.5% of the waste collected by the council, well ahead of Scotland’s overall figure of 21%. The council expects that the new centre at Troon will improve on this. The target of the local area waste plan is to recycle or compost 52% of municipal solid waste by 2020.
And with increasing targets for recycling and composting set by government, it is only a matter of time until this nifty bit of kit is set to be a common sight across the UK’s transfer stations and recycling centres. To in-bin-ity and beyond!!!

“THE SKIP” SUBSCRIBERS BEAT FUEL PRICE RISES

Abbey Fuelcards have been chosen by “The Skip” as partners for their new fuel card scheme available only to subscribers of “The Skip”. Launched next month, the scheme will enable subscribers to access the extensive Abbey network of filling stations that offer major price savings on petrol and diesel to holders of Abbey fuel cards.
This exclusive scheme is the latest initiative from “The Skip” Magazine designed to help readers reduce costs and grow their business. “The Skip” chose Abbey as their fuel card partner due to the combination of Abbey’s UK-wide network coverage, the ease and efficiency of Abbey’s service management, and the significant savings on fuel costs available with Abbey cards.
Ignore the pump price
Abbey fuel cards enable company owners and employees to ignore the wide price variations that often exist at different fuel stations and in different parts of the country. Each Friday, members are advised – by SMS, email, fax or post – of the diesel or petrol price, which will apply for the following seven days. That price applies across the UK, wherever members’ vehicles are operating, and will always be extremely competitive – usually below the posted pump price and often offering a saving of several pence per litre.
Easy access
There are three types of fuel card to choose from:
• Diesel Direct, which offers fixed price diesel from over 1000 locations across the UK
• fastfuel, offering both discounted petrol and diesel from approx 1600 Texaco Service Stations and Morrison’s supermarkets nationwide.
• euroShell, which covers 1/3 of the UK motorway service areas, plus sites on major trunk roads.
You simply select the card that suits your company best. There is a convenient and extensive network of filling stations giving access to cheaper fuel in all parts of the country.
Participating filling stations include major brand sites (Shell, Esso or Texaco for example), motorway services, supermarket forecourts, and independent service stations.
Simple administration and enhanced security
A fuel card scheme with Abbey is extremely easy to administer. Employers receive a weekly invoice by post or email. This will include full details of all transactions, which may be listed by card, driver or vehicle. Mileage can also be recorded if you wish.
On top of fuel price savings, members also save with interest free credit: With weekly invoicing and payment terms of 14 days, members can gain up 21 days interest free credit on fuel.
The Skip Fuel Management Scheme also ensures outstanding service. For example, in the case of lost or stolen cards, or if a driver leaves employment, the card can be stopped almost immediately. And, where appropriate, replacement cards issued within three days.
Cards can be allocated to a vehicle, driver or owner-driver. The elimination of cash transactions and the limitation on purchases (i.e. fuel and oil only) provides much greater security – and ensures you will not get caught by new legislation now being discussed by the EU (see below).
Fuel card for everyone
The range of Abbey fuel card options ensures a scheme is available to suit all types of company and fleet management requirements, from sole trader through to major haulier. Similarly organisations, working in partnership with Abbey, can offer members a benefit that can save hundreds – even thousands – of pounds. In addition, Abbey fuel cards put members firmly in control of fuel costs, with no complicated conditions or compromises. And with the highest standard of customer service.
