Hand grenade found dumped; skip hire Warwickshire
Bomb disposal experts were called to a tip after shocked workers found a hand grenade dumped inside a skip, the find was discovered in Nuneaton after a local individual ordered skip hire Warwickshire.
The explosive find sparked an emergency evacuation at the public waste recycling centre in Tuttle Hill, Nuneaton.
The wartime device – which was presumed to be live – was among rubbish in skips at the site and police immediately evacuated and cordoned off the area to keep the public away.
Bomb disposal experts quickly arrived on the scene and made the weapon safe before removing it from the site.
The many weird and wonderful things we receive from the public at our waste recycling centres never cease to amaze us,” said county councillor Alan Cockburn. “As usual, it is down to the diligence of our staff who do their utmost to make sure that the items ultimately go to the most appropriate destination.”

Residents stuck with small bins – try skip hire Bristol?
Bristol City Council have told some residents within the area that they will be receiving smaller wheelie bins, while 1,400 other homes are allowed to keep their much larger wheelie bin.
Homes across the city with 240-litre black bins are being given 180-litre replacements as part of a rubbish collection overhaul, which is aimed at encouraging people to recycle rather than just throw their recyclable waste in the normal bins.
However, certain households in the city have been told they can keep their larger bin because they meet special criteria and are deemed to require more space for their rubbish. These include homes occupied by large families and houses converted into accommodation for large numbers of students.
Many people are unhappy with being given a small wheelie bin, so much so that they may even decide upon using skip hire Bristol to dispose of the excess waste that won’t fit into their new bins.

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

Automated Phone Recycling Machines May Prevent Hiring A Skip
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.

A Streetcar Named Skip Hire
We may never know whether Tennessee Williams had skip hire in mind when he wrote A Streetcar Named Desire, but the chances are, he probably didn’t.
That said, wouldn’t it be special to see a fabulous work of fiction dedicated to our favourite pastime?
