Rubbish Skips – Where Does All the Waste Go To?
Rubbish skips have come a long way…
Back in the day, most waste was chucked in the skip and sent straight to landfill. Easy…but not environmentally sound. With landfills near to bursting point, there was a need to do something else with the waste. That’s why most waste that now gets thrown in to skips gets recycled. All waste gets separated – metal, glass, rubble, paper and green waste can all be recycled. Some waste, like food waste and certain plastics are sent to landfill – but this accounts for a small percentage of overall waste.
So next time you hire a skip, make sure you book with a company who can boast high recycling wastes – think green!

Budget Skip Hire – The Pros and Cons
Looking for budget skip hire? Before you go searching for the cheapest price, you’ll need to consider that cheapest might not equal the best.
Skip hire involves a number of processes – haulage, service, recycling rates and hire lengths. If any of these are compromised, it can easily create problems. Cheap skip hire can often result in bad service. If you’re going to hire a skip, ring around and go with the company who sound professional, ask questions about your particular situation and have all the right certification.
It will be well worth your while spending a few more pounds knowing that your job is in safe hands.

Skip Hire in Manchester
Someone needed skip hire in Manchester yesterday but made a grave error – they told us that the skip was going on private land. We arrived there this morning, there was no private land. This means one thing and one thing only – problems with the council. All councils across the UK demand that if a skip goes on a road – it needs a skip permit. So unfortunately we had to charge the customer extra – we had to pass the charge on to the customer.

Skip Hire Diving Saves Company Thousands
Staff at yummy cosmetics firm Burts Bees have decided to go skip diving with all their waste that was destined for landfill. Skip hire forms a massive part of the company’s refuse, so scrutinising what actually went to landfill made the company rethink their waste management programme. They managed to recycle 50% of what was going to landfill, saving the company $25,000 annually!

Council Hire a Skip To Fill With Bras!
Hire a skip for Breast Cancer.
When Hertsmere council delivered a load of pinks skips to their community, they demanded the public fill it with one thing and one thing only: Bras.
In the end they collected a massive 17,193 bras that weighed over a tonne. Why the bra fetish? Well, the plan is to ship them over to under developed countries and give them out to the women who need them.They are also raising money for breast cancer.
Councillor Jean Heywood said, ”By recycling your bras not only will less waste be sent to landfill but women in poorer countries will benefit and you will be helping to fund research into breast cancer.”
Good on you guys. We may look a bit weird throwing a bagful of bras in to a skip, but if it’s for such a great cause, then we’ll have a rummage around our underwear drawers tonight!
