Skip Hire in Leicester

You can’t mention the name Melton Mowbray without mentioning the amazing pork pies that are produced there! This, along with the fact that this town is also one of the six homes of Stilton cheese, has led to it being christened the ‘Rural Capital of Food’. Food is one of the main contributors to the amount of waste we produce in the UK, and Melton Mowbray is one of the first areas to send food waste to a new £10 million anaerobic digestion plant. This is a process whereby the food waste is broken down to produce bio fertiliser for crops and generate electricity in for the national grid.

Other changes relating to waste in Melton Mowbray have been brought about due to the council’s desire to save £67000 a year. These changes include reducing the opening hours of the recycling and household waste site in the area and charging residents for the disposal of their non-household waste. We have worked with residents in Melton Mowbray for many years, and our knowledge of the local area has meant we can offer customers a better result and increased customer service.

Loughborough is the largest settlement in Leicester outside of the city of Leicester. Loughborough has one of the largest Universities in the country, and a team from the University were recently involved in developing a method of turning waste plastic into low-sulphur liquid transport fuel. Initiatives like this are things that really interest us as we count ourselves as an environmentally aware company who only use licence tipping facilities which allow us to recycle and re-use a high volume of waste including soil and hard-core.

Loughborough is actually pioneering in the field of waste recycling, with Biffa recently submitting a plan to Leicestershire County Council for the construction of an incinerator on the former Newhurst Quarry at Shepshed. The plans include a restoration scheme to protect the land and wildlife in the area. If the incinerator gets the go-ahead, it will be able to process up to 350,000 tonnes of waste as fuel and be able to generate enough power to power 66 homes.

Hinckley is traditionally a centre of the hosiery industry in the UK – the history of which can be seen in some of the exhibits at the Hinckley & District Museum. This creativity seems to have inspired a new generation of workers, with many small technology companies now being based here. This has led to the regeneration of the area, with lots of old buildings being transformed into offices and workspaces.

We are proud to act as a lifeline for companies in the Hinckley area, helping them with all their waste transport needs. Our customer service team can arrange permits, provide scrap metal removal, help with site clearances, provide waste disposal, and provide the best skip hire services in the Hinckley area.

The pretty market town of Market Harborough is in a rural part of South Leicestershire close to the Northamptonshire border. A branch of the Grand Union Canal terminates in the north part of the town and connects to the main canal near Foxton. Interestingly enough there are a larger number of smaller organisations with fewer than ten employees in Market Harborough than the rest of the UK.

Market Harborough is also one of the towns in the UK where you need to have a skip permit to put a skip on public property. At TopSkips we can help you with this as part of our booking process. We aim to provide first class customer service, with high-quality skips that are fit for your requirement, affordable and most importantly support the local community.
