Skip Hire in Otford, West Wickham and all Surrounding Kent and Medway Areas | Sustainability
Westerham Skips takes sustainability seriously. Caring for the environment isn’t just a policy; it is a core part of how we like to operate. We understand that the waste industry has a significant impact on the environment, which is why we have adopted an ethical, responsible and forward-thinking approach to every single aspect of our wider skip hire and waste management service.
Areas covered by our skip hire company include:
Biggin Hill | Edenbridge | Orpington | Otford | Oxted | Sevenoaks | Swanley | Westerham | West Wickham
From the moment skips are delivered to the final disposal of collected waste, our processes are designed to minimise environmental harm and to promote resource efficiency. This makes us more trusted as a local skip hire specialist.
Here's how we ensure all operations align with core sustainability goals:
Maximising Recycling Rates
We aim to divert as much waste as possible away from landfill.
Through advanced sorting facilities and partnerships with licensed recycling centres, we ensure that a high percentage of the materials we collect are sorted and reused, or recycled, appropriately. We continuously monitor our recycling targets and look for innovative ways to improve on them.
Ethical Waste Disposal
Any non-recyclable materials put into skips are managed with responsibility and disposed of in accordance with all local and national environmental regulations. We only work with licensed waste transfer stations and landfill sites that meet the same compliance standards as skip hire companies.
Together, our operations create a brighter future for our next generations.
Efficient Logistics
Our fleet is modern, regularly maintained and routed efficiently to reduce our fuel consumption and lower our carbon footprint. We plan skip hire deliveries and collections to minimise any unnecessary journeys while actively exploring low-emission vehicle options as we begin to move forward into the future.
Managing how we deliver and collect skips is an important consideration.
Customer Guidance
We help customers to make environmentally responsible choices too. With a professional standard of advice on the right skip size (to avoid over-ordering) to providing clear information on what can and cannot be put into skips, we help you to reduce waste and avoid contamination of recyclable materials.
If you need our advice, all you need to do is pick up the phone and call us.
Reducing Single-Use Materials
Internally, operations focus on minimising the use of single-use plastics, paper and packaging. Wherever possible, we switch to digital documentation and reusable alternatives. A skip hire service should be conscientious in design and futureproof. The way that we deal with all single-use materials is critical.
Our skips and containers can accept these materials, but we deal with them in a different way to how we manage more traditional recyclable items.
Ongoing Commitment to Improvement
Sustainability is not a one-time effort. At Westerham Skips, we regularly review our practices and invest into new technologies and training to stay ahead of all current industry standards. We are also working towards accreditation with recognised environmental schemes to improve on our green credentials.
Our skip hire services continually evolve in line with changes in legislation.
Choosing Westerham Skips means choosing a company that puts the planet first. We believe that even small changes in how waste is managed makes a big difference. By continuously improving our skip hire operations and helping customers to dispose of waste responsibly, we lead the way in sustainability.
Customers from Biggin Hill, Edenbridge, Orpington, Otford, Oxted, Sevenoaks, Swanley, Westerham and West Wickham, and many more across the Kent and Medway areas, seem to agree based on the demand for our services.
