Our Commitment to Sustainability
At Green Skip Hire, environmental responsibility is at the heart of everything we do. We recycle over 90% of all waste we collect, diverting it from landfill and giving materials a second life.

Our Recycling Process
1. Collection
Your skip is collected and transported directly to our sorting facility in Madeley. We never send mixed waste straight to landfill.
2. Sorting
At our facility, waste is carefully sorted by material type - wood, metal, hardcore, plastics, and general waste. This allows us to maximise recycling rates.
3. Recycling & Recovery
Each material stream is sent to specialist recyclers. Wood becomes biomass fuel, metals are melted down, hardcore is crushed for aggregate, and plastics are reprocessed.
4. Documentation
We provide waste transfer notes for all collections, ensuring full traceability and compliance with Environment Agency regulations.

Why Recycling Matters
Every year, the UK produces millions of tonnes of construction and household waste. Without proper recycling, this waste ends up in landfill where it can take hundreds of years to decompose, releasing harmful greenhouse gases in the process.
By choosing Green Skip Hire, you're actively contributing to a more sustainable Shropshire. Our commitment to recycling means:
- Reduced landfill: Over 90% of waste we collect never sees a landfill site
- Lower carbon emissions: Recycling uses less energy than producing new materials
- Resource conservation: Recycled materials reduce the need for virgin resources
- Local processing: Your waste is sorted locally, reducing transport emissions
We're proud that our "Green" name isn't just marketing - it represents our genuine commitment to environmental responsibility. When you hire a skip from us, you can be confident your waste is being handled in the most sustainable way possible.
