RESOURCE RECOVERY
At A1 Skips, we prioritize sustainable waste management through resource recovery. Our dedicated team hand-sorts materials to recycle and repurpose, minimizing landfill waste.
DEDICATED TO ECO FRIENDLY PRACTICES
We prioritize environmental responsibility. Our aim is to divert as much waste as possible from landfills through recycling and responsible disposal practices. Our commitment to sustainability aligns with Australia’s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint.
At A1 Skips, we are doing our part to reduce the burden on landfill at Resource Recovery Centres (Tips). All of the waste that we receive is sorted into either recyclable, reuse, landfill or donated to people to avoid excess filling our landfill
OUR PROCESS & SORTING
Effectively managing waste collection, separation, recycling, and reuseing waste we contribute to conserving resources, reducing pollution, and minimizing the environmental impact of waste.
Once the bins are delivered to our processing factory we start the sorting manually into the following categories.
For example, paper and cardboard may be pulped and reformed into new paper products. Glass is melted and used to create new glass products, and metals are melted down and used in manufacturing.
Concrete – gets crushed and recycled
Timber – reused or chipped
Soil – sift, grade, test and reuse
Steel aluminium and copper – separated, graded and recycled
Rocks – donated to the community for repurposing
CONNECTING, SAVING, REUSING
We love the idea that some items can be reused directly without extensive processing. Even better when locals get to benefit. We often will shout out making available the below items:
- River rocks and boulders
- Pallets and timber for firewood
We would love to be able to find a use for the below. If you have any use please just reach out and contact us
E-WASTE
E-waste, or electronic waste, refers to any discarded electronic device with a plug or battery, such as computers, smartphones, and appliances. These products often contain valuable materials like metals and plastics, as well as hazardous substances like mercury and lead, which can harm the environment if not properly handled.
At A1 Skips, we take all collected e-waste to specialized collection centers where it is carefully sorted. Recyclable materials are recovered, while hazardous components are responsibly disposed of in line with environmental regulations. By recycling e-waste, we help reduce landfill waste, conserve valuable resources, and minimize environmental damage. Proper e-waste disposal is crucial to promoting sustainability and fostering a more responsible, eco-friendly approach to waste management.
