Where Bristol's skip waste goes
Waste from a Bristol skip is not landfilled wholesale. It is taken to a licensed transfer station, sorted by material, and the recoverable fraction (wood, metal, hardcore, clean plastics) is passed to specialist recyclers, leaving only true residue for disposal. The carriers are registered with the Environment Agency, and a waste transfer note accompanies every load under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
