If you’re like many people, you may have wondered what happens to your skip after it’s been collected. You often see skips being hulled on the back of trucks and wonder where they’re going. Do the workers take it away and dump everything in a landfill? Or is there some other process that happens? In this article, we’ll take a look at what happens to your skip after it’s been collected.
Process
Once the skip rubbish has been collected, by one of our drivers then the workers will take it back to the depot where it will be weighed. After that, the rubbish is sorted into different types so that it can be recycled. For example, metals will be separated from plastics and glass. Once everything has been sorted, it is then sent off to the appropriate recycling facilities.

What Happens to Sorted Skip Waste?
The sorted recyclable materials will be sent to a manufacturing plant, where they will be turned into new products. This helps reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and ultimately helps preserve our environment.
The first thing that happens is that the skip is taken to a waste sorting facility. Here, the contents of the skip are sorted into different categories so that they can be recycled or disposed of correctly.
Garden Waste
Garden waste is a bit different from other types of waste. It can be composted and used as fertiliser, so it doesn’t need to go to a landfill. We will take your garden waste to our composting facility, where it will be turned into nutrient-rich compost that can be used by farmers and gardeners.
Building Materials
Some types of waste, such as building materials, cannot be recycled. These materials will be disposed of in the appropriate way, usually by being crushed and used as fill or road base. This helps reduce the amount of virgin material that is needed to build roads and other structures.
Scrap Metal
Scrap metal is one of the most valuable types of recyclable material. It can be recycled and turned into new products, such as cars and appliances. At our recycling centre, we will remove any scrap metal from your skip and send it to a manufacturing plant. There, it will be melted down and turned into new products. It can be transported to countries all over the world, so your scrap metal can have a positive environmental impact wherever it goes.
Electrical Goods
Electrical goods, such as TVs and computers, contain valuable materials that can be recycled. At our recycling center, we will remove any electrical goods from your skip and send them to a specialized facility such as BeyondSurplus, an Atlanta electronics recycling company. There, the valuable materials will be extracted and recycled into new products.
Hazardous Waste
Some types of waste, such as hazardous waste, require specialised disposal. We will remove any hazardous waste from your skip and send it to a facility where it can be safely disposed of. This helps protect the environment and the workers at our recycling centre.
