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.

A recycled recycling bin – now that’s a bright idea

There are some waste disposal ideas that are so innovative you wonder why no one’s ever thought of it before.

Take, for instance, the story of a student project in America which saw a recycling bin created entirely from used cans and bottles.

The items were bound together to fashion a colourful container, according to the Macon Telegraph.

And what’s more, it’s thought that the innovation will be rolled out across campuses in the Hall County region.

Fridge Recycling Using Skip Hire

“Can you throw a fridge in a skip?”

A gentleman from Essex asked me this today and the answer was a resolute ‘Kind of!’.

Fridge recycling can be done using skips, but it will cost you.

Why is this? Well, because fridges contain CFC gases, they need to be treated carefully, and disposed of in a specific manner. Normal waste in skips are usually sorted at the Material Recycling Facility and then put into waste streams to be recycled. However, fridges are classed as hazardous waste and need to be treated in accordance to EA regulations.

Fridges can be taken away with the skip, but this comes at an extra charge. This charge covers the extra haulage and special treatment.

If you’ve been lumbered with an old fridge that you need to get rid of, speak to one of the gang at Topskips on 0844 60 77 10.
