How skip hire companies are helping to reduce waste?

Skip hire companies are helping to reduce waste and improve sustainability by sorting and recycling waste before discarding waste. 

Landfills are major contributors to greenhouse gases, producing up to 22% of greenhouse gases within the UK. Skip hire companies are helping reduce the impact of greenhouse gases by recycling on average 90% of all waste. Greenhouse gases are a key factor in climate change so the more we can recycle, upcycle or reuse the more we can reduce the rate of climate change and its impact on the planet. This means less waste in our landfills and seas, helps reduce the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions and helps protect & preserve marine habitats.

The staggering impact of pollution on the ocean and sea is also a big issue, with 8 million tons of plastic being dumped in the ocean every year. Collecting and responsibly sorting the waste can help reduce the amount of waste being thrown into our oceans, destroying marine life and habitats.

But can skip hire companies sustainably remove waste?

Although it is still a challenge the industry faces, the waste management sector in Bolton is helping recycle more carefully, by sorting through waste and taking waste to plaitthey can be recycled. According to Bolton Council, as of September 2020, up to 50.1% of waste was recycled. This sector is changing with more focus on improving the technology and systems used to manage waste.
