Five Benefits of Using Letchworth Skip Hire

Shefford Skip Hire sends all waste from Letchworth back to our primary recycling plant in Stevenage.

Whether you're working on that DIY project you have been putting off for months, having a general household clear out, or clearing your garage of old pots of paint that have been collecting dust since the last owners lived there, you are going to end up with a pile of items for disposal. One way of dealing with rubbish removal is to load it all into your car, taking care not to destroy the interior of your pride and joy, another is to use Letchworth Skip Hire. There are a number of good reasons to choose a service like ours:

A skip is very accessible. Putting a load of waste into your car is unpleasant and can damage the interior, failing that, a trailer may be an option. Should you not have a trailer, or a vehicle that can pull a trailer, a hired skip is an ideal solution for rubbish removal. In addition, it will save you traveling miles to the nearest dump or recycling centre.
A skip is affordable. Letchworth Skip Hire have very competitive prices that will help cut the cost of getting rid of your waste materials. The delivery and collection of our hired skip will save you from the costs of using your own vehicle. You can pre-arrange with us how long you'll need to keep the hired skip, and you can get a skip size that is correct for the amount of waste material you wish to dispose of.
Our hired skips help to protect the environment. Letchworth Skip Hire have easy access to recycling centres, and hire out skips for the loading of materials that can be reclaimed. We feel that it makes little sense to allow useful and recyclable materials to end up in landfill. Items of waste such as scrap metal, timber, paper, plastic, glass, vehicle tires, and mattresses are things that can be sent off in a hired skip for recycling.
Our hired skips can even bring communities together. This may sound like a rather wild claim to make, but think about it! A group of neighbours can get together to hire one of our skips. This means that the hired skip is certain to be used to its full potential, and that there are not unsightly piles of waste material left laying around the neighbourhood awaiting removal. Garden waste from a number of households can be put into one hired skip. This is a great way to prevent illegal dumping, also known as fly-tipping in your neighbourhood. The best part is that everyone shares the cost of hiring the skip, making it very affordable indeed.
Using a skip from Letchworth Skip Hire is safer and healthier. Our fully trained, professional staff are trained in the correct process of rubbish removal. They know how and when to use the correct equipment as well as where to dispose of waste. After all, we are Environment Agency approved.

For safe, convenient rubbish removal of bulky and heavy loads, it is well worth contacting us at Letchworth Skip Hire for some advice and a quote.

Land fill, plastic and its disposal in Letchworth

When we clear out the loft, the garage or the garden shed, we tend to take it for granted that we can just put it all in the car and take it to the local tip, or hire a skip from Letchworth Skip Hire and have us take it away for you.

Very few people are likely to really think about what happens to their waste materials once it has left their Letchworth property, but there are changes affot that will have a major impact on consumers, property and business owners, the waste industry and the country as a whole.

In 2018, the Chinese government announced that it was banning the import of twenty four types of waste materials from other countries. Up until then, The United Kindom, Europe, Japan and the United States of America had imported much of their waste materials to China.

This ban has forced the developed world to sit up and take notice of the serious nature of waste and plastics in particular as they can no longer just send it overseas, it has to be dealt with on home ground. In other words, waste materials generated in Letchworth will probably have to be dealt with or disposed of in Letchworth or at least at a land fill site nearby.

The United Kingdom has been looking toward Southeast Asia to export its waste materials since the Chinese ban. It has been noted that several Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand reported spikes in waste imports. This is thought to be a clear indication that waste from other countries was diverted there. Many experts have stated that the Southeast Asian countries can fill all of the void left by the Chinese ban on waste imports.

Another reason why Southeast Asia is reluctant to replace China as the worlds dumping ground is that it has already faced problems from air pollution due to forest burning, so the very last thing it wants is to add to the problems by importing waste from outside the country.

Essentially, in the long term, the problem of waste management has to be solved at a local level. The world at large must take a clear and conscious effort to reduce its waste products, rather than simply looking for the next country that is willing to take its waste. Countries that are as advanced as the United Kingdom should take the responsibility of cutting down on waste generation through sustainable practices and not adopting an out of sight, out of mind attitude to waste disposal and management.
