What Happens to the Waste in My Skip

When you hire a skip in Stoke-on-Trent, you might wonder what actually happens to all that waste once it leaves your property. At DP Group, we make sure your rubbish is responsibly processed, sorted, and recycled wherever possible. In fact, almost 90% of the waste we collect is recycled, helping to reduce landfill and support a sustainable future.
How Your Skip Waste is Collected
Once your skip is full, our team collects it promptly and transports it to our local processing facility. We handle your waste safely, preventing any spills or environmental impact during transportation. Choosing a trusted skip hire service in Stoke-on-Trent ensures your waste is managed responsibly from start to finish.
Sorting and Processing: Turning Waste into Resources
At our facility, the waste is carefully sorted into categories to maximise recycling:
Metals, Plastics, and Paper
Recyclable materials like metals, plastics, and paper are separated and processed for reuse. Metals can be melted down and turned into new products, plastics are reprocessed into raw materials, and paper can be recycled into packaging or office supplies.
Wood and Organic Waste
Wood from construction or garden waste is often turned into biomass fuel or reused in building projects. Organic waste is composted or processed into materials that enrich soil. Even items that cannot be recycled are disposed of according to strict environmental standards.
For more guidance on legal waste handling in the UK, you can refer to the Environment Agency and WRAP for recycling best practices.
