Hiring a reputable skip hire company with a commitment to waste-reduction is a great way to reduce the environmental impact of your business. A professional skip hire service will ensure that your company’s waste is properly sorted, processed and recycled.

At A. Brunton, we believe in taking the complexity out of recycling, offering a transparent service which from start to finish is committed to creating a greener tomorrow. 

Understanding the recycling process is central to this transparency, so here’s an in depth break down of exactly how your skip waste is recycled.

Skip Removal

Prior to the removal of your skip, there is no need to waste time separating your recyclables. Your skip hire company will take them all to an on-site sorting facility.

Not only does this save you time, but also space. There’s no need for you to worry about storing large amounts of material. When your skip is full, we’ll take the lot. 

Sorting

Once collected, your full skip will be taken to a waste transfer station. Here, materials are sorted and separated with the aim to recycle 100% of all waste. 

At A Brunton Skip Hire, we ensure all the rubbish moving through our site has the potenrail for recycling. From metal and wood to plastic and cardboard, we aim to limit waste going to landfill wherever possible.

When discussing the transfer and sorting process, it’s also important to note the benefits of hiring local skip hire companies to manage your waste. Transferring your waste to a local treatment centre further reduces your carbon footprint — another green decision for your business.

Processing

Once your waste is separated into categories, it is processed into its most appropriate form for recycling. For example, scrap metals will be stripped and reduced into smaller sub-categories, while wood will be chipped, making it more manageable when recycled. 

Recycling

It’s incredible what your waste can become once recycled. And it’s in this final stage where you can truly see the impacts of your businesses’ environmentally conscious decisions. 

Waste, once processed, will be transferred to the appropriate recycling centre. Here is a brief look into how some of your waste may be recycled: 

• Scrap metals will often be melted down and used to create new products. This is a quick process, as Aluminium cans can be recycled and reused within six weeks. 

• Plastics can be repurposed into a wide variety of products including waste bins, bottles and insulation materials. 

• Paper and cardboard – Recycled paper produces 73% less air pollution than if it were made using raw materials. As a result, when reused, paper saves masses of energy.

• Wood – Woodchips can be used as a surfacing material for pathways, in landscaping products and even as biomass fuel. 

• Glass is 100% recyclable. Once melted down it can be reshaped into an endless list of goods.
