A hired skip offers you the perfect solution for your home waste management. They are large and can easily accommodate all the unwanted rubbish that has been accumulating in your home over the past few years. Using a hired skip also means that your rubbish and waste is collected from your property, so you won't need to be driving to the local tip and waiting for ages in a long line of traffic. When you get to the local tip, you always feel as if you have to rush back and forth to get rid of your waste so you don't hold up others who are impatiently waiting for their turn. This amount of haste is often why there is such a lot of dropped debris such as broken glass, nail and screws. These waste items often end up sticking into your tyres, leaving very expensive repair bills for you to pay.

There has been a lot of talk recently about the future of our waste since China announced that it was banning the import of twenty four types of waste from the rest of the world. The United Kingdom heavily relied on China to take a good deall of its waste and will now need to make alternative arrangements or work on new technologies to cope with the amount of waste we produce annually, not just in the Hitchin area but across the rest of the country.
For so many years, China was the worlds biggest importer of waste products, particularly plastics. The United Kingdom amongst others really did take this for granted and have now been faced with a race against time to work out what to do with all the waste that is building up in the recycling centres around Hitchin.
The European Union has been looking into a tax on plastics usage, whereas the United Kingdom wwas thinking of diverting some of its waste products to Southeast Asia, and the United States of America has simply asked China to lift its ban.
When you consider that China took in more than half of the worlds waste materials before the ban and was importing almost nine million metric tons of plastic scrap a year, it is hardly surprising that they have been forced to act now.
The move China made to ban twenty four types of imported waste was hailed by environmentalists globally as a major victory for green campaigners. Green campaigners say the ban would not only clean up China, but also force other countries to better manage their own waste. They added that for far too long there has been an out of sight, out of mind attitude towards waste and how we deal with it.
The joy at the Chinese ban was short lived by some as a government environmental scientist in the United Kingdom recently suggested that all plastic waste should be buried in landfill sites ready to be mined out at a later date. A recent meeting of an environmental group in Hitchin said that this was a short sighted view and technologies had to be developed to take care of existing plastic waste and other methods of cutting down on the waste we produce needed addressing as a matter of urgency.
At Hitchin Skip Hire, we are committed to disposing your waste in an environmentally-friendly way. At least 95% of waste is recycled. At our recycling centre in Stevenage, we segregate all waste before processing all products.
