Skip hire industry acknowledges a new form of recycling
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.

Recent skip hire and recycling news reports that Apple now offer cashback and recycling in UK
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!

Liverpool skip hire: Fly-tippers, be warned
Now could be a good time for many people to secure Liverpool skip hire services, judging by the council’s response to one serial offender.
Allen Gardener will be electronically tagged for his recent fly-tipping offences, sending out a clear message to anyone who leaves rubbish strewn on the streets of their neighbourhood.
Mr Gardener has dumped several tonnes of waste in areas such as Norris Green and Croxteth.
Passersby saw the crimes being committed and managed to inform police of the offender’s vehicle registration number.
The message? Don’t leave your dirt at the door – hire a skip in Liverpool!

Budget skip hire: Cat abandonment ‘a sob story to end all sob stories’
A cat called Shandy and her young kitten have been found abandoned in – you guessed it – a skip.
But this isn’t just a typical sob story, because luckily the little baby has been re-housed, while Shandy waits with bated breath for the foster home of her dreams.
According to the New Rochelle Patch, the moggies were placed in a cardboard box that had been put in a rubbish container.
If you’re looking for budget skip hire without a cat inside, you’ve come to the right place.
Call 08445 60 77 10 to find out more.

Don’t snaffle scrap metal from skips
Two offenders have been caught snaffling scrap metal from skips.
The Environment Agency has fired a warning shot to anyone transporting such content without the necessary licenses.
Steven Haim was fined £2,500 plus £400 in costs, while Alan Lee was handed a £2,000 slap on the wrists, plus £1,225 in costs.
The two breached the Control of Pollution Act 1989 by failing to register as waste carriers.
You see, responsible skip hire is the way forward!
