Waste Disposal Policy
It is the company policy of Select-A-Skip UK Ltd to ensure that all waste removed from our clients sites is taken to the best practical licensed point of transfer/disposal or Materials Recycling Facilities (MRF), in the most environmentally favourable option available. All waste is removed by fully licensed waste carriers.
Wherever possible Select-A-Skip endeavour to encourage re-cycling and waste minimisation, in partnership with our customers and suppliers. We have access to many Materials Recycling Facilities (MRF) across the country to ensure that wherever possible our clients waste is sorted and re-cycled, thus reducing the volume of waste being landfilled.
In circumstances where a 'waste load' is not suitable for re-cycling, the waste would be removed from site to a licensed point of disposal or transfer. This would either be to a landfill site or sorted through a waste transfer station, and then again transferred onto a landfill site.
Wherever possible, tipping via a transfer station or materials recycling facilities, would be preferable as this encourages sorting of waste and possible re-cycling of materials.
All waste removed by our licensed waste carrier contractors can be traced by a full audit trail. The form completed is known as a waste transfer note, which shows the name and address where the waste is being generated. When the container is ready for removal, the form is then signed by the waste producer detailing the nature of the waste. The form will highlight the vehicle registration and waste carriers details, and will be signed again at the point of disposal or transfer which will be a Licensed Landfill or Waste Transfer Station. This will fully comply with waste producer's obligation to Duty of Care regulations 1996.
