You probably already know that hiring a skip bin is a convenient way of disposing of large quantities of waste, but you may not realise that it can also be an environmentally friendly way of rubbish disposal. Here are some reasons why.
Waste containment
Simply placing rubbish in a pile or even in bins for any length of time can cause problems with the nearby environment. Dangerous chemicals can begin to leak from the rubbish into the ground, and rubbish can also attract rats, flies and other pests and vermin. Some sharp objects could also be hazardous to children or animals if they are not kept securely out of their way. By disposing of the rubbish in a skip, you are not only keeping it in a strong container away from the local environment, but you are also ensuring it will be collected promptly as soon as the skip is full, thereby removing the hazard from your area.
Responsible disposal
The skip bin hire company will not just take the rubbish away, they will dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner, recycling as much of it as possible. As well as wanting to keep costs down, most skip hire businesses pride themselves on their eco-friendly credentials and will seek to ensure that as much of the rubbish is recycled as possible. Metals, glass, wood and some plastics can all be recycled and turned into new materials which are of just as good quality as the original. This not only reduces any pollution caused by their disposal but also saves energy on the production of new materials.
Transport costs
If you were to remove all the waste from your premises yourself, you may find yourself with several carloads, making numerous trips to and from the local landfill site. These journeys won't just cost money, they will also increase your carbon footprint because of the amount of fuel you will use (as well as take up valuable time which you could perhaps have used more profitably). As the skip bin hire company will be removing the waste in a single trip, there will be considerable savings in fuel, which means less pollution and a lower carbon footprint.
The safe containment of rubbish, recycling of the materials and the savings in fuel costs make skip bin hire an eco-friendly solution for removing large quantities of waste. Look for a company near you that provides skip hire.
