CHANGING THE WAY YOU MANAGE WASTE

It’s not just what you need to get rid of. It’s how you dispose of waste that really matters. It matters because of legislation. It matters because getting it wrong can damage pockets, businesses and reputations. It matters because when you work with the right waste management partner – a partner who handles everything from permits to recycling - life is easier.

We know effective waste management isn’t your goal. It’s the thing you need to do to create the space for whatever’s next. Yet whether your project is garden clearance or site remediation, effective waste management is our goal. It’s all we do. And we’ve been helping households and businesses do it since 1972.

Currently we recycle 80-85% of the waste we collect. We aim to increase this percentage year-on-year.

Let’s move recycling forward. Talk to GB Waste Management about skip hire and waste management services for your home or business.

We recycle 90-95% of the waste we collect.

When you leave waste in a skip or container for us, you want to be confident that as little of it goes to landfill as possible. Currently we recycle 80-85% of the waste we collect. We aim to increase this percentage year-on-year.

Here’s how we make that happen:

  • We now have two purpose-built, fully licensed waste transfer stations in East London - Silverton and Ilford. We’ve invested in new machinery, for sorting, crushing and chipping waste.
  • We’ve trained our recycling team to the certificate of technical competence (CoTC) set by Waste Management Industry Training and Advisory Board (WAMITAB).
  • For our business and corporate customers, we issue waste reports itemising how much waste we collect and how much we recycle different materials. This helps you to reach your own standards for sustainability in your business.

You’re ready to refurbish. You want more space. But first, you need to rip out and get rid of all the old interior fixtures and fittings.

You could do it yourself but maybe some of it is just too heavy to move. We’re here to help. Whether it's domestic or commercial, from office block to garden shed, our team can help you clear the space and start to build your dream.

What we’ll do:
  • assess the size and content of your project
  • give you a quote

A site waste management plan (swmp) will help achieve sustainability targets on your building or refurbishment project.

A Site Waste Management Plan is a living document on which you record every movement of waste from your site. It should be reviewed regularly.

With everything recorded in detail, it’s much easier to see that you are hitting your environmental targets and keeping costs in check. For this reason, it’s a good idea to have a waste management plan even for your smaller-value projects. Whilst no longer a legal requirement a comprehensive SWMP may still be required for a BREEAM assessment or by the local planning authority, and are may be considered an environmentally responsible initiative by many contractors and clients.

Site Waste Management Plans typically answer the questions:
  • Who manages the waste?
  • How much waste is there?
  • When is it moved?
  • What does the waste contain?
  • Where is the waste taken to?
  • Does that depot have the appropriate permit for taking the waste?
  • How will it be managed?
We can help you draft and review this vital paperwork. Call us now on 020 7476 3050.

SEE WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

In recent years GB have offered a range of services to solve our waste problems. Each of these have been carried out in the most prompt, efficient and professional manner. With highly competitive rates and impeccable service GB offer the complete package when dealing with any waste issues. In my 8 years of dealing with them I am yet to come across any complications and I would strongly recommend them.

John Wood - JAW Roofing - Director

I received exceptional service from start to finish. I found the staff courteous and efficient, they could not have been more helpful. I needed a skip urgently. They helped with the size of skip and asked its usage etc. so that the skip they suggested wouldn't be over weight once filled. It arrived the next day by 8am! They were even able to help me with last minute requests of boards (for the skip to sit on)! The skip was collected 3 days later (as requested by me) and again they arrived within the time slot they had given me. The whole experience was professional and painless! I would highly recommend them and would not bother looking elsewhere!

Mrs Pitt - Woodford Green - Resident

Hi Ben and Patrick, I wanted to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for your excellent services over the past two years. You have always been consistently efficient, profesional and friendly. All your drivers are very kind and extremely polite to us and deliver and collect skips with a smile. At one point we were so pleased with one of your drivers and wished to tip him, but he did not accept and said that it was his duty. We have been in business for over 30 years and developed many properties and dealt with many skip companies, but none of them have quite matched up to your standards.

We wish you all the best of luck and success in the future.

Ali Kholghi - Barking Hotel

GB supply skips for us across East London and Essex. We have worked closely with them since the start of our operation 7 years ago and we cannot recommend them highly enough. They have an excellent team of staff who are friendly, helpful and efficient. Their speed of service and reliability is second to none and their willingness to go out of their way to help us at short notice on difficult jobs is really quite unusual in this industry. They have literally supplied 1000s of skips for AMA over the years and I would struggle to find one complaint.

Ama Waste

Since 2007 GB have supplied us with all different sizes of skips while we regularly use both waste transfer stations. In time we have built up an excellent working relationship, particularly down to the efficient and professional manner GB operate. LBN and GB have worked along side each other to ensure all waste projects are dealt with in the most economical and environmentally friedly way. GB are our first point of call for any waste issues in both London Borough of Newham and any other areas. I would highly recommend GB as they have consistently proved to be one of the leading companies in the waste industry and look forward to cementing our affiliation in the future.
