Bridlington Council is requesting that smaller businesses are able to dispose of their waste for free.
In a statement a local councilor said “It’s costing the council more to go round and pick all this rubbish than what it would be to let them go free.”
It’s estimated that around £100,000 in this council alone is spent on cleaning up tippers waste per year meaning tax payers money is going directly toward keeping our streets clean.

Fly-tipping (also known as ‘fly dumping’, and sometimes shortened to ‘tipping’) is a British term for dumping waste illegally instead of at an authorised rubbish dump. It is the illegal deposit of any waste onto land, i.e. waste dumped or tipped on to a site which has no official skip licence to accept waste.

The term is derived from the verb ‘tip’, meaning ‘to throw out of a vehicle’ and on the ‘fly’, meaning “on the wing” which is to throw away carelessly or casually

A UK provider of recycling and environmental technology based in Cambridge have recently attracted some fresh backing for the commercialisation of its technology for the recycling of plastic and aluminium laminate packaging.

Here, at the heart of our busy skip hire head office we were interested to find out that a syndicate of investors have just secured the deal including Cambridge Enterprise, (the university’s commercialised arm) along with business angels from both Cambridge Capital Group and Cambridge Angels.

Though The Cambridge University syndicate have declined to reveal the exact amount raised it is believed to be some serious Wonga!

Thus far plastic/aluminium laminate packaging has been non recyclable; the company’s patented technology offers a new recycling route. This new technology segregates the material into its constituent components providing clean aluminium that can be used as fuel or chemical feedstock.

A US company is to begin supplying automated phone recycling throughout the United States during 2012 and at Topskips we don’t just provide mini skip hire, midi skip hire and any skip sizes to any area of the UK, we also love to bring you the latest recycling and skip hire news.

The new recycling machine only available in America enables a person to choose their particular mobile handset from the huge list allowing the customer to then put their old handset into the phone recycling machine which then pays out it’s value there and then. The recycling machine will also take old MP3 players, mini disc and CD players.

The US company say that the machine will help towards the larger global problem of recycling this type of technology which becomes obsolete very quickly in the fast-paced home technology market.

The new service, currently operated by big company Dataserv, is currently available to anyone in the US but was only offered to Europe recently.

A spokesman for Apple said “Whether it’s an iPhone, iPad, Mac or PC computer, working or not, we’ll take it and determine if it qualifies for reuse and has a monetary value. If it does, the amount will be credited directly into your bank account. If it doesn’t, you can recycle it responsibly through one of our free recycling programmes,”

Once the item looking to be recycled has been valued it can be sent in for a tidy profit and even items with no value can be sent in for free!

This doesn’t mean that this company will take all your waste however when looking to get rid of your old T.V in your skip or using skips and skip hire in general to get rid of things like your fridge-freezer or computer screen there may now be another option. It may also change what skip size you’ll need thus reducing the cost of skip hire.

Makes the saying “Where there’s s*** there’s money” hold true even in this current climate!

Happy new year from everyone at Topskips. Here’s to a successful, happy and healthy 2012!

With the past few years, there has been a lot of concern about where your money goes, that’s why we make sure the cost of skip hire is always explained to our customers. There are so many factors that influence the cost of skip hire. The size will make a huge difference to the cost. The bigger the skip, the more pricey it will be. The type of waste also matters, if it’s difficult to get rid of, like asbestos, then it will be more expensive. However, we make sure you’re completely aware of the price before you pay. Location also matters. If you reside in a city, it works out on average cheaper than if you live in a rural area – just because of the haulage involved. However, Topskips makes sure you get the best deal and the right type of skip hire for your job. We’re such boffins at our job, we won’t let you down!
