Let’s talk Rubbish

Did you know that skips should be level filled, this means do not overfill above the sides of the skips. Overloaded skips are dangerous as waste material may fall out and can make uplifting the skip impossible.

This is illegal and at Skip Hire Twickenham we are unable to carry a skip with an unsafe load. Overloaded skips can not be moved as this causes a significant danger to pedestrians, other road users and the environment.

Secondly, you must ensure that the location of the skip does not cause an obstruction and or compromise health & safety. 

Finally, once the skip has been delivered, you must not attempt to move the skip.  If you need to re position the skip, please contact the skip department of Skip Hire in Twickenham.

Recycling

At Glynns Skip Hire Twickenham we have over 20 years experience in skip hire and in the last 5 years have used that knowledge to enter into the recycling industry. As our need to become greener has increased, so to have the number of available recycling outlets and what was previously classified as rubbish is now a reusable product, this has had  a positive impact on the percentage of waste being taken to landfill.

Once we have collected your skip the contents are processed for recycling, the waste product is passed through a number of picking belts and segregated as follows :

• Card and Paper
• Metal
• Hardcore
• Glass • Plasterboard
• Plastics
• Wood

All reusable products are then passed onto specialist recycling companies in or near London. The end product is then put to a number of uses including road construction and fuel for energy. Our aim is to keep both landfill and haulage to a minimum reducing the impact of your waste on the environment.

We offer same day delivery services as all our vehicles are radio controlled. For skip hire in Twickenham please call us on 0208 212 7789
