What happens to the waste you put in a skip bin?
If you have ever wondered what happens to the waste that you put in a skip bin? Where does all the waste that rubbish removal companies collect go?
What happens to the general waste that rubbish removal companies collect completely depends on the company and its working procedures. Different waste has different disposal processes. These days waste disposal priority is placed based on environmentally conscious waste removal and disposal methods. So the rubbish that is collected either goes to landfills, recycling centers, or hazardous waste management facility centers.
Disposal of rubbish you put in a skip bin is a serious matter as it needs to be handled legally. Not all the rubbish can go to landfills. Some valuable materials that are not waste can be recycled and reused. Generally, paper, glass, plastics, and metal are common recyclable waste. They go to the recyclable center and can be reused after processing is completed. Similarly, hazardous waste including chemicals, batteries, gas cylinders, explosives etc. go to special waste facility centers. Some of them are neutralized and some of them are recycled. On the other hand, waste that cannot be recycled and reused are taken to the landfill sites for incineration.
The landfills have detrimental effects on the environment. So the aim of sending your garbage to a sorting facility is to ensure that as little garbage as possible ends up in a landfill.
