J&B News & Updates

It’s that time of year! Out with the old and in with the new; Spring is a time of new beginnings and perhaps for a good old clear out.

J&B Recycling can help businesses with a seasonal overhaul by providing you with skip hire!

Vikki Jackson-Smith, MD at J&B Recycling, said: “We offer skips for hire both regionally and nationally for trade and locally for householders – and have 15 years of experience offering this service.

“It is important to use a reputable company so you know that your waste will be disposed of correctly.

“If someone is offering to take away your rubbish for a few quid, then there’s a chance that could be being fly-tipped."

Fly-tipping is the illegal dumping of waste. It can be liquid or solid in nature and can vary in scale significantly from a single bin bag of waste to large quantities of waste dumped from trucks.

Fly-tipping is a problem because:

• It costs an estimated £86m-£186 million every year to investigate and clear up. This cost falls on taxpayers and private landowners.
• Fly-tipping poses a threat to humans and wildlife, damages our environment, and spoils our enjoyment of our towns and countryside.
• Fly-tipping undermines legitimate waste businesses where illegal operators undercut those operating within the law. At the same time, the reputation of legal operators is undermined by rogue traders.
• As with other things that affect local environment quality, areas subject to repeated fly-tipping may suffer declining property prices and local businesses may suffer as people stay away.

Vikki added: “As the customer it is your responsibility to check that your waste is being taken away by a licensed waste carrier and is going to a site that can legally accept it. By using J&B Recycling you know it is in safe hands and all of that is taken care of.”

J&B Recycling was established in 1998 and operates across the North of England. We offer an award winning service and work with local authorities from the Scottish Boarders to Hull. Some of our services also stretch nationwide. We employ almost 200 people across four sites and have all of the relevant permits and licences required to operate a waste management business.
