As skip hire specialists, the team at G&S Waste Management Ltd take rubbish clearance and waste removal extremely seriously. Unfortunately, we can’t provide rubbish removal everywhere, but we do look after a considerable number 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 or wait-and-load service for occasional house or office clearances, some areas of our planet are ignoring waste management. 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.

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.

While there’s nothing we can do about waste management issues on the other side of the world and in far-flung places, there are steps we can all take to minimise our impact and improve waste control in our local areas.
As well as making use of local rubbish and recycling collections, homes and businesses should consider professional rubbish removal, such as standard or same-day skip hire services, for larger amounts of waste. Reputable rubbish clearance companies will ensure all waste is suitably disposed of, with as much recycled as possible.
