As skip hire specialists, we take our approach to rubbish clearance and waste removal extremely seriously at G&S Waste Management Ltd. Unfortunately, we can’t provide rubbish removal everywhere, but we do look after a considerable amount of clients in Brentwood, Chigwell and the surrounding areas, including Essex, Central London and East London.
While most of us focus on using our household bins correctly and hire a skip for occasional house clearances, for example, there are areas of our planet where waste management is being ignored. And you’ll be quite surprised at one of the locations.

The air around the Russian capital carries a degree of toxic waste due to overflowing landfill sites and no recycling policy. Sub-par rubbish clearance has also led to concern over the standard of tap water, with many opting to drink bottled water instead.
Just over five years ago, the capital was recycling only half of the waste produced. Now this figure has significantly risen thanks to new initiatives, but the problems are still there, with over 400kg of waste generated per person annually.
Surprised? It’s one of the largest dumping grounds in the world due to the amount of oxygen tanks and general waste the mountaineers leave behind. This is a sacred monument to many, yet it’s currently home to approximately 30 tonnes of rubbish. After all, rubbish removal companies can’t operate on a mountainside.
With China placing a ban on the importation of waste products, there is a global crisis that remains on the rise. We can all do our best to help by recycling as often as possible and paying attention to the guidelines issued by local authorities and professional waste management companies.
