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.

Why not hire a skip in Gloucestershire?
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 22nd, 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.

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!

Bring some glamour into your life with skip hire in Wilmslow
What could be more glamorous than a spot of skip hire in Wilmslow?
The area is continuing to attract a range of stylish boutiques along its main thoroughfares.
Retailers such as Joules and Black White Denim are the latest stores to arrive in the neighbourhood, according to The Business Desk.
But aside from bolstering their fabulous wardrobes, there are plenty of other ways in which Wilmslow residents can enjoy a glamorous lifestyle.
Skip hire, of course, is at the top of this list.

Mmmm…skips
Apparently, these guys love skips so much that they opened a restaurant in its honour.
Or so it would seem.
The eatery recently closed its doors after 62 years of service.
The Diner Hotline Weblog quoted resident Rusty Simpson as saying – somewhat bizarrely – “This place is like a bible for a lot of people”.
Located in the amusingly named Chelmsford, Massachusetts, it bears about as much relation to Chelmsford, Essex, as Skips Restaurant does to rubbish skips.
However, we live in hope that an authentic skip-themed diner will one day open its doors.

High skip price in France leads to horse-drawn cart innovation
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.”
