Smarter Recycling Solutions

Recycling materials is not always straightforward, which is why clear guidelines are essential. Many items can be recycled but some cannot. Batteries, paint and asbestos must be handled separately for safety and compliance, while mixing waste types can add unnecessary costs. Knowing what belongs in each bin makes the whole process easier and more efficient.


For commercial sites, custom waste systems ensure day-to-day operations run smoothly. Waste specific bins are placed in convenient areas so staff spend less time walking across the site and scheduled collections stop bins from overflowing or creating hazards. With the right system in place, businesses save time, reduce risks and keep more materials out of landfill.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What materials can usually be recycled in skip bins?

    Common recyclable materials include concrete, plasterboard, steel and green waste. These items can be broken down or reused in new ways instead of ending up in landfill. Recycling helps reduce environmental impact and lowers waste disposal costs, making it a practical choice for both households and businesses.

  • Can treated timber or hazardous items go into recycling skip bins?

    No, treated timber, asbestos, chemicals, oils, batteries and gas bottles cannot be placed in recycling skip bins. These materials are not suitable for recycling and need special disposal methods. Keeping them out of bins ensures waste can be processed efficiently without contamination or added costs.

  • Is recycling really more affordable than general waste disposal?

    In many cases, yes. Recycling materials separately is often cheaper than sending everything to landfill as mixed waste. Landfill attracts higher fees, while recycled items can be repurposed at lower cost. By separating recyclable waste, households and businesses save money while reducing their environmental footprint at the same time.
