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

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.

Recent skip hire and recycling news reports that Apple now offer cashback and recycling in UK
The new service, currently operated by big company Dataserv, is currently available to anyone in the US but was only offered to Europe recently.
A spokesman for Apple said “Whether it’s an iPhone, iPad, Mac or PC computer, working or not, we’ll take it and determine if it qualifies for reuse and has a monetary value. If it does, the amount will be credited directly into your bank account. If it doesn’t, you can recycle it responsibly through one of our free recycling programmes,”
Once the item looking to be recycled has been valued it can be sent in for a tidy profit and even items with no value can be sent in for free!
This doesn’t mean that this company will take all your waste however when looking to get rid of your old T.V in your skip or using skips and skip hire in general to get rid of things like your fridge-freezer or computer screen there may now be another option. It may also change what skip size you’ll need thus reducing the cost of skip hire.
Makes the saying “Where there’s s*** there’s money” hold true even in this current climate!

Waste Skip Hire
We are surrounded by excess packaging everywhere we go – as this picture of a single banana shows.
That’s what waste skip hire is for. We can provide waste skips all over the UK, and can provide them for segregated waste – so you can divide paper, plastics, metal and glass to get ready for recycling.

Skip hire in Halifax helps clean up wood
What are the best options for skip hire in Halifax?
One group of volunteers in the town might be well placed to answer, after a clean-up job was arranged to rectify problems caused by fly tippers.
Those who rolled up their sleeves were able to fill a large skip and two vanloads with waste, according to the Halifax Courier.
To cap it all off, participants planted bluebell and daffodil bulbs where once – probably – there had been rusting shopping trolleys and soiled nappies.
A job well done.

Why Chorley loves skips
One Lancashire town has continued its pro-skips agenda by helping locals get rid of their rubbish in the run-up to Halloween and Bonfire Night.
Chorley Council is holding skip days on October 27th to allow residents to get rid of unwanted items, rather than burn them.
Previously, the local authority ran the Skip It, Don’t Tip It initiative.
The free community event gave people a chance to recycle cardboard boxes, table legs and tree branches, among other items.
It’s safe to say that Chorley loves a bit of skip hire.
