Nowadays it is too easy to simply tip your waste all in one place or to fill your wheelie bin to capacity each and every week, or whenever your local council makes a collection, but there are greener and more ethical ways or getting rid of your waste. The worlds population is increasing every year and so is the waste this population produces and the once popular disposal techniques such as incineration and landfill are now being replaced with more ethical and greener recycling techniques. Many items can be recycled these days, once it was just core items such as metals, paper and hard plastics but now we see many more item being accepted for recycling such as clothing, footwear, cardboard and glass as well as timber and garden waste so the amount of waste that actually needs to be disposed of by landfill or incineration is very minimal. Recycling used to be a lot more expensive than simple tipping the waste but newer and more cost effective techniques are now making recycling a viable option for many developed countries, with almost 60% of waste being recycled here in the UK, a figure expected to increase significantly over the next 5 years, some say up to 90%, not just because of better recycling techniques but because manufacturers are produce more and more recyclable material especially for food and consumer good packaging which creates a lot of waste. Even skip hire companies are now beginning to work more closely with their local recycling plants council operated refuse sites in order to recycle a majority of the waste that they collect from their clients by having a number of rules as to what you can and what you cannot put into a skip, some skip firms are even offering free skips for certain materials such as metals and plastics ( as long as the customer does not mix the waste with other non-recyclable materials or even other recyclable materials.) and many businesses now have multiple skips onsite clearly mark with what should go into the skip. So skip hire firms, waste collection companies and waste disposal businesses are all in their own way helping to improve our current recycling situation thus helping to create a greener United Kingdom, if not a greener planet altogether , so are food manufacturers and other businesses by using the minimum amount of packaging they can or using new bio degradable packaging, so how can the us, the general public assist in reaching this goal of having almost 90% of the UK's waste recycled by 2018? The first thing people need to do is to utilize their domestic recycling bins to their fullest potential. Spending an extra few seconds to put your household waste into the correct bin isn't really going to cut into anyone's day, putting plastic in the plastic bin, cardboard in the cardboard bin and food and garden waste in the green bin isn't rocket science and we can all do it if we put our minds to it and regularly performing these tasks will eventually lead us to recycle without thinking. Apart from general household waste, that everyone should be recycling, many of us have clearouts of our loft, attic, garage or garden sheds and then either hire a skip or make a trip to the local council run refuse site. Refuse sites (tips as they used to be known) also now recycle most of their waste and although most of these council run site are monitored, its up to you to spend that extra 5 or 10 minutes making sure that you throw your waste into the correct skip so it can be recycled, simply parking up in front of the general waste skip and throwing everything into this one skip for so call non-recyclables isn't help anyone, so be a stand up member of society and recycle. Finding a local skip hire company for waste removal and recycling is extremely simple now that we have the internet and a basic search for Skip Hire Manchester will provide you with a catalogue of ethical and licensed skip companies in your vicinity.
