Hiring a skip isn’t just convenient — done through a licensed carrier, it’s one of the greenest ways to deal with waste. Here’s what happens to what you throw away with Interscan.
Most of your waste never sees landfill
When your skip is collected, it doesn’t go straight to a hole in the ground. It’s taken to a licensed transfer station where the contents are sorted and the vast majority is recovered, recycled or repurposed. We divert well over 90% of the waste we handle away from landfill.
What gets recycled
- Rubble and hardcore — crushed and reused as aggregate.
- Wood and timber — chipped for board manufacturing or biomass.
- Metals — separated and sent for smelting.
- Green waste — composted.
- Plastics, paper and card — baled and sent to reprocessors.
Why a registered carrier matters
Interscan is an Environment Agency registered waste carrier (licence CBDU568181). That means your waste is tracked and disposed of legally and responsibly — and you’re protected, because responsibility for fly-tipped waste stays with the person who produced it.
How you can help
Keeping heavy waste (like soil and rubble) separate from mixed waste makes recycling more effective, and it also lets us recommend the right skip. Every load sorted properly is less material going to waste.
