Many UK homeowners regularly hire a skip to remove unwanted waste, and you might be thinking that one skip provider is very much the same as another, yet there are small differences, and prior to booking your skip, take the time check that the waste is responsibly disposed of.

Recycling

Some skip providers boast that they recycle as much as 90% of all the waste collected, which is pretty impressive by any standards. The materials that can be recycled include the following:

  • Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals
  • All Forms of Plastic
  • Timber in any form
  • Paper and Cardboard

The skip company can even recycle green garden waste, which could pollute a landfill, and any hazardous waste can be removed, but you would have to talk to the skip hire company about this, as each has their own policy regarding hazardous waste.

Eco-Friendly Practices

The waste management company should have associations with large recycling plants ensuring that most of your waste is recycled. The best skip hire company in Croydon will make sure that all your waste is disposed of responsibly, and they are very affordable, with a range of skip sizes to suit your needs.

Local Authority Permits

If the skip cannot be located on your property, you will have to ask the local authority for a temporary permit, which is something the skip hire company can assist with. Some companies will wait while the skip is loaded, and most offer a same day delivery service, which is very handy.

If the skip hire company is eco-friendly, you can rest assured that you are not adding to the environmental problems, and should you ever require a skip, an online search will help you to locate a nearby provider.
