Skip hire isn’t just about convenience – it’s also one of the most environmentally responsible ways to dispose of waste. At Skip Hire UK, we’re committed to minimising landfill use through comprehensive recycling programmes.

Our Recycling Process

When your skip is collected, it doesn’t simply go to landfill. Instead, the contents are transported to our sorting facilities where materials are separated for recycling:

Materials We Recycle

• Metals – Sent to metal recycling plants for reprocessing
• Wood – Chipped for biomass fuel or recycled into chipboard
• Concrete and rubble – Crushed and reused as aggregate
• Green waste – Composted into soil conditioner
• Cardboard and paper – Sent to paper mills
• Plastics – Sorted by type and recycled where possible

Our Environmental Statistics

We’re proud of our environmental achievements:

• Over 90% of collected waste is recycled or recovered
• Zero waste to landfill target by 2027
• Carbon-neutral delivery fleet in development
