Fly tipping is costing us all; skip licence Yorkshire and rest of UK
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

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!

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!
