Ethical Waste Disposal Solutions

March 16, 2021 by [email protected]

The Rubbish Removers provide environmentally conscious, ethical waste disposal solutions to all our customers.

We are always on the lookout for new and creative ways to dispose of the waste we collect. While it is important to stay within the requirements of our licence, this does not stipulate how much rubbish should be recycled. In theory, we could dispose of 100% of the waste we collect at landfill sites and still be operating legally. Of course, we have a moral obligation to do better than that.

Never have we been more educated and understanding of the impact humans have on the Earth. Profitability and convenience are the driving factors in a capitalist world. However, people and businesses are beginning to understand how important it is to hold ourselves accountable for our impact on a global scale. More and more large and small businesses are becoming carbon neutral and even negative in some cases.

We dispose of the bulk of what we collect at an industry-leading waste transfer station which diverts upwards of 95% from landfill. Additionally, where possible we donate items of furniture to charity shops.

As we grow, our focus remains to provide professional and ethical waste disposal solutions to all our customers. We are confident you will not receive a higher level of service anywhere and we are consistently pushing expectations higher.

What if my builder has completed his work and left all the Building Waste behind?

The cost of building waste disposal for ALL tradesmen is on the increase. Subsequently, in such a competitive market this cost is usually the first thing knocked off the price. The customer is then left with unsightly piles of waste on their driveway or in the garden which can attract pests. We provide an efficient solution to remove and dispose of all types of waste from anywhere on your property.

John has been using The Rubbish Removers on renovation projects for many years. Usually on clearances where a skip was not an option. Here, for example, we cleared waste from a full bedroom and ensuite fit-out in Knutsford. The fitter had to leave the waste in the garden as access was difficult with no driveway. As a result one of our dedicated, local rubbish removal teams worked hard to clear the waste in a timely fashion. We work carefully to respect the customer’s property at all times. At the end of each clearance, we sweep up leaving the area spotlessly clean.

Ethical recycling solution

January 27, 2021 by [email protected]

The Rubbish Removers offer a professional and ethical recycling solution to commercial and domestic customers alike.

Whilst we are obligated to operate within the parameters of our licence, we are always on the lookout for new solutions. Actively reducing how much of the waste we collect ends up in landfill.

Surprisingly in today’s world, the requirements of a waste carrier do not give any incentive to dispose of their waste ethically. In layman’s terms, We must dispose of waste of at a licensed transfer station (tip). However, there is no financial benefit to a rubbish remover to establish an ethical recycling programme.

Transfer station waste to landfill rates vary massively throughout the market. For instance, in the 12 months leading up to March 2020, recycling rates of Public transfer stations were at 45%. This means 55% of all the waste collected ended up in landfill.

Leading the industry..

At The Rubbish Removers, we take great pride in operating professionally, legally and responsibly. Additionally, we seek out private tipping facilities who offer much higher recycling rates. In the same 12 month period, our most used transfer station diverted 94% from landfill. That means only 6% of the waste we collect ends up in landfill.

This ethical and responsible approach has seen us build relationships with high profile customers. Supermarket chains, local authorities, international recycling firms, fast food establishments, city-centre bars and restaurants, high street retailers and hotels all choose The Rubbish Removers. Furthermore, all our customers can have confidence that their waste will be disposed of in the most environmentally friendly way possible.

Take a minute to view our Instagram page for examples of our work.

As our business grows, we commit to keeping ethical recycling solutions at the forefront of our service. Our whole team are constantly pushing for new and creative ideas to reduce our waste to landfill. The ultimate goal is to clean up the industry as a whole.
