Ever wondered what can actually go in a skip? Has the belief that many materials aren’t permitted put you off hiring a skip in the past? We have all you need to know about what’s suitable for skip disposal and a bit more info besides…
Do you ever throw a plastic bottle or metal can into a general waste bin without a second thought? Or perhaps you do feel a twinge of guilt as you know the item should really be going into a recycling bin… Now’s the time to make a change!
As the population grows year on year, the negative impact we are all having on the environment increases too. We need to take responsibility for ourselves, to ensure that each and every one of us is doing all we can to keep our carbon footprint as low as possible. Simple things like recycling everything we can and making sure that we are recycling properly will go a long way to help.
This is extremely important as the commercial sector produces a lot of waste and if it is not being processed and segregated correctly this could have a detrimental effect on the environment. It’s also important for all employees to pull together in the bid to recycle, just as they do at home. Follow our top tips:
In addition to all the standard recycling procedures, construction and manufacturing companies need to consider what waste materials they generate and whether these could be recycled. Most things can! TJ works with several partners to provide specialist services to ensure certain materials are recycled. Examples of this include:
Recycling at home and when out and about is just as important as in the workplace.
Plastic waste is one of the biggest concerns in the environmental world. Globally, a million plastic bottles are purchased per minute and most of this plastic ends up in the ocean. In a bid to combat this, manufacturers are now offering mineral water in metal cans in an attempt to lower the amount of plastic waste we are generating.
TJ is always looking for new ways to recycle different types of plastic and has plans to get a plastic recycling trial underway soon. In the meantime, they already work with the Final Straw Solent, a community interest company whose work revolves around highlighting the impact of plastic pollution on our environment, local seas and wider oceans.

Plasterboard must be disposed of correctly to ensure there are no ill effects; if plasterboard is disposed alongside biodegradable wastes it can lead to the production of odorous and toxic hydrogen sulphide gas.
We’re dedicated to diverting as much waste as possible from landfill and to do that we are continuously seeking new recycling routes for a range of tricky materials to ensure that everything that can be, is being reused.
