Landfill Tax increases For April 2012

Landfill sites are again gearing up for their annual price increases in line with the additional £8 per tonne landfill tax, which will stand at £64 per tonne from 1st April 2012; taking landfill disposal charges in some regions to well over £100 per tone.

These increases are designed to encourage companies to seek out alternatives to landfill for disposal of their waste and the increases have been driven up exponentially in the past few years making it even more of a priority to look at current waste disposal arrangements.

There are simple but effective ways to increase your recycling rate, which in turn will decrease your waste costs and future proof you against the spiraling cost of sending waste to landfill.

This is where segregation at source has become more of a practical measure to enhance recycling and reduce costs. Skippy has found that within the last year with the economic climate being squeezed as it is, that a bespoke approach to managing waste on site can save money and also raise a company's green profile making it more competitive in the marketplace.

Skippy Nationwide has over 20 years of experience in waste management and can now offer an auditing service to anyone who creates waste. Within this service Skippy will design a system to reduce your waste streams where possible and also increase your recycling which will inevitably reduce your waste costs.
