Stow On The Wold Recycling
and the Environment

Waste recycling and the environment is an ever-growing issue, and with Skip Hire in Stow On The Wold, this is no exception. Just Skips are proud to announce that as a skip hire company, we recycle around 80% of the waste we collect.

Why is Stow On The Wold skip hire
waste recycling important?

Stow On The Wold waste recycling is important for many reasons: -

• Cost Saving - Landfill taxes are forever rising to discourage landfill waste disposal. By recycling waste, Just Skips can divert recyclable waste away from expensive landfill sites and deliver them to transfer stations. The transfer stations are able to segregate and recycle the waste far cheaper than landfill disposal. As a result, the costs are passed onto the customer through cheaper skip hire.
• Energy Saving - Products produced using raw materials consumes more energy than ones produced with recycled materials. By using less energy, we help the environment by producing less harmful by-products and emissions (such as CO2).
• Saves Natural Resources - Waste recycling saves natural resources. Raw materials that would be used to produce a recycled product are preserved, as well as natural resources that indirectly produces a product, such as fuel for producing energy.

What is waste segregation?

Waste segregation is the process of separating waste, so that certain types of waste can be easily recycled. In the past, Just Skips have provided assistance and solutions for efficient waste segregation.

A significant cost saving may be achieved from companies who, for example, separate plastic waste, metal waste, wood waste and general waste into separate skips / containers. A skip containing only metal waste is usually significantly cheaper than a skip containing mixed waste.

What about emission from skip hire vehicles?

As well as recycling around 80% of our customer's waste from skip hire, we also operate from hundreds of skip hire depots throughout the UK. This ensures that our vehicles do not have to travel far when delivering or collecting your skip, therefore producing less emissions.

Some skip hire operations have a restricted number of disposal locations to empty their skips, driving many miles from the customer's site to the disposal site, then many more miles back to the skip hire depot. Instead, Just Skips aren't tied to a handful of waste disposal locations, and are able to utilise hundreds of waste disposal sites / transfer stations throughout the UK.
