Community Wood Recycling Vs the 8-yard skip

Here is an example of how a contractor that prides itself on it’s environmental credentials is completely failing to manage it’s wood and timber waste economically, efficiently and effectively on site.

Mixed waste skip - the most expensive way to recycle

The site manager thinks he is doing the best thing by having all the waste mixed together in skips.  It’s a good job he has a lot of space available on site as there are several skips like this one dotted around – full of mixed or ‘co-mingled’ waste, which has to be taken away to a waste transfer station to be separated out again.  Not only is this hugely expensive and inefficient – it’s the most expensive way possible to deal with waste arising from a building site.

another wasted opportunity

This contractor could be saving hundreds of pounds every month and helping support jobs in green Social Enterprises like Cambridge Wood Works, simply by using the Community Wood Recycling service and not using skip companies to take wood and timber away.
