NEWSFLASH - The Skipjackers launch NSSW!
When you use a trusted skip hire company, a skip is the most responsible and environmentally friendly way to dispose of your waste. Sharing a skip provides a lower cost way to responsibly get rid of waste and do your part for the environment.
National “Share-A-Skip” Week is a way to help people lower the cost of hiring a skip, through a community based skip-sharing scheme. Research shows many skips are picked up half full; the skip-sharing scheme allows people to get the skip space they need, for the price they paid.
It’s a great way of saving money without compromise, and encourages communities to bond. As Mark Attwood, the founder and father of National “Share-A-Skip” Week puts it: “The objective of National “Share-A-Skip” Week is to prevent fly-tipping, reduce waste to landfill and save people money.”
National “Share-A-Skip” Week 2008 falls on the week of 10th to 17th November. This is a perfect time of year, as much rubbish and rubble is created from the aftermath of various festivities in November. Guy Fawkes Night is the biggest culprit; often people illegally burn certain household items on the fire, as opposed to disposing or recycling them safely.
Have a listen to the official National Share A Skip Week theme tune - “Skipjacking Jerk” a song by Manchester band “The Skipjackers” It is also available for download to your MP3 player, so you can bop away, on your way to your neighbours!
What is skip jacking?
As the song illustrates ‘skip jacking’ (the unauthorised use of your skip) is a serious nuisance. Statistics show that it is often your own neighbours who are responsible for the unauthorised dumping known as skip jacking!
Did you know every 35 seconds, someone, somewhere is fly tipping in the UK?
That’s a lot of illegal dumping and the worst part is that if it’s your waste, you are responsible and could face legal action and hefty fines. Click now for the downloadable leaflet, fill it in, print it off and deliver through your neighbours’ letterboxes. Get them to be as green as you!
Your skip is easy to order, whether you prefer speaking to someone on a national free phone number 08000 82 10 82 or to order online via PayPal, Google Checkout or with any major credit or debit card, or contact your local skip hire if you know them. At least 70% of all skip waste collected is guaranteed to be recycled, to minimise landfill use. So help to save the planet… share a skip to dump your load today!
