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.

Residents in south Gloucestershire might want to hire a skip to show their dedication to responsible waste disposal.

The local council is making a push to promote the collection of bottles and food waste in the area.

From November 22^nd, each home in the neighbourhood will receive a set of three collection bins.

Let’s hope it encourages locals to give recycling the thumbs-up.

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!

For many residents in Australia, skip hire is at the forefront of their minds this year.

Northern Territory locals have had enough of lazy, idle, boneheads who dump rubbish in open spaces.

According to the Katherine Times, the culprits are “too lazy to put [the waste] in the skip bin placed outside … if it’s closed on the weekend”.

Will there be a backlash? It might be said that more Aussies than ever before will get on the phone and order a skip.

No one likes the idea of coming home from holiday to see tonnes of rubbish in their garden, but that was precisely the problem faced by one London resident.

Cheryl Pandis was stunned to find roughly seven skip-loads of debris on her lawn after returning from an excursion.

And according to the Wimbledon Guardian, the council has ordered her to clear it up.

Ms Pandis was in no mood to give in, noting that it would cost about £2,100.

In such a scenario, those seeking mini skip hire in London might want to call a reputable business and get their problem sorted.

Failing that, wait for the fly-tippers to return and give ‘em a piece of your mind!

You might not believe it, but horse-drawn carts are helping many French towns with rubbish collection duties.

Officials in locations such as Perpignan have compared the typical skip price with the cost of hiring equines.

What did they find out?

Naturally, it was determined that waste collection should be carried out by horses.

Jean Baptiste, the mayor of Peyrestortes, told the Guardian that the town’s medieval street layout made it difficult to bring out vehicles and skips.

Roads would often be blocked off, much to the chagrin of irate neigh-bours.

Mr Baptiste extolled the virtues of the approach, explaining: “The exhaust smells have gone, the noise has gone, and instead we have the clip-clop of horses’ hooves.”

If you live in Wiltshire, now might be a good time for you to compare skip hire prices.

It appears that many people in the county would like to see a deeper dialogue with the local council over waste disposal matters.

A high proportion of residents, according to the Wiltshire Times, favour kerbside collections and recycling initiatives.

Why not get on the phone and hire a skip today?

We had a call from a customer of ours who had ordered mini skip hire and was undertaking some work in the garden. The next morning, she was carrying on the job when she found a tabby cat mewing. She went over to the skip and there was mother cat and three new born kittens. She scooped them all up and put them in a basket in the airing cupboard with some milk and food.

The cats were all OK, just a bit cold and they’ve now gone to a good home, but it was the last thing she expected to get when she ordered a mini skip from us!

Mini Skips are great for those domestic jobs where you have just that little bit too much to take to the tip yourself. They are great for garden work when you’re shifting soil (they hold around two tonnes of soil) or if you’re clearing the spare room.

Just chuck the soil into your mini skip and then we collect and recycle! Easy peasy.

Check out this mini skip video of ours, you can see what a mini skip looks like in the flesh!
