Whether you’re sat in the comfort of your own home or even your place of work, living in a clean and hygienic environment is not only important but a must. That being said, ensuring your waste disposal is kept on top of isn’t the task that always gets seen to. As a result, all too often, rubbish builds up causing an unsightly and unhealthy situation for everyone.

Thankfully, with the help of a professional waste disposal company, it needn’t be such an arduous task and what’s more, it can actually begin to do some good for this planet of ours.

Too many struggle with the idea of waste management and the sheer importance of it. Waste finds itself dumped, regardless of the potential to recycle and it ultimately finds itself at a landfill. Add this to the billions of tonnes of waste that’s added to landfills at any one moment and you start to see the impact we’re having in our earth.

With the help of a professional waste management service however, you never need worry again as the right company will ensure your waste is disposed of in as ethical manner as possible. That’s of course if they haven’t already recycled and repurposed your waste – the best option overall.

A dedicated recycling service is a sign of a great skip company and one Mackers Skip Hire in Essex, are proud to boast themselves. But just how do these skip services help our environment?

Skips Protecting Our Planet

1. Reduce And Recycle

Correct management of rubbish and waste not only lessens the strain on landfills all over the world but also helps improve air and water quality. Add to this the fact that it helps reduce greenhouse gases and it’s a no-brainer. Anything that helps to reduce the effect of pollution on our planet is a good thing, in fact it’s a great thing.

Disposing of waste properly ensures your waste isn’t just thrown out on the scrap heap. Instead, it’s recycled and reused elsewhere.

Take scrap metal as the main example. Many companies scrap their excess metal, for good money too. This then gets bought for a much lower price at the scrap yard they sold it to. Metal has been recycled and the company with excess have even saved money within their overall budget by selling it to a scrap yard in Basildon such as Mackers.

2. Repurpose

Have you ever wondered what happens to your materials and waste when you recycle? Well, if it can be, it’s usually repurposed into another useful substance. Metals can be melted down, as can plastics, so new substances and products can be created and used.

3. Conserve Space

Our landfills take up a huge amount of our planet. They’re increasing in size by the day but our planet can only take so much. By ensuring your construction site adheres to correct waste management solutions, you inadvertently help relieve the pressure on our landfills. This in turn reduces the rate at which they fill and as a result, expand.

4. Conserve Natural Resources

Our natural resources are limited. They aren’t continually renewing themselves and as such, we will one day run out. By reducing the amount we use, we help to preserve the remainder that we do have. Instead of extracting new metals, scrap metal is a much better option. Instead of chopping down trees for new wood, instead allow others to repurpose used wood by recycling the wood you currently have instead of simply throwing it away.

By being smart with your waste disposal, you help to conserve the natural resources on our planet such as water, timber and minerals. This is the effect that reducing and recycling has on our planet, by decreasing the need to manufacture new materials for people to use.
