Where South Yorkshire's skip waste goes

After collection anywhere in South Yorkshire, skip waste is processed at a licensed transfer station: tipped, sorted and split into recycling streams for wood, metal, hardcore and plastics, with residue only as a last resort. Registration with the Environment Agency is a legal requirement for the carriers, and the waste transfer note issued per load is the record that keeps the chain compliant with the duty of care.
