The Rubbish Diet is written by Karen Cannard, a housewife and now freelance writer, based in Bury. The blog was only intended to last for just 8 weeks, to chart Karen’s attempts at slimming down her bin for Zero Waste Week in March 2008. However, having realised the importance of the issue she went on to inspire many others. As a result, Karen’s work was shortlisted in the 2009 Media Guardian Awards for Innovation, in the Independent Media category and was also a finalist in the CIWM awards for Environmental Excellence in the category of Recycling Champion. So if you want to talk rubbish with Karen, aka Almost Mrs Average, please get in touch by email at karen[at]therubbishdiet[dot]co[dot]uk. More information about what Karen gets up to is also available at www.karencannard.co.uk.

As every area has differing rules, the first thing you should do is contact your local council to find out the expectaions for placing a skip bin on the Public Property in your area.

What is Public Property? Areas that are dedicated to the use of the public such as: Lane way, Road, street , Park grass verge, side walk, parking lot etc - Any property owned by the government or jointly owned by a community. 

The Council will be able to advise you whether you can place the skip bin on the area you are planning on using, and if there is a permit necessary.

A Permit is a legal document giving official permission to do something, the act of giving a formal (usually written) authorization, a document rendering something allowed or legal.

Sometimes it takes a few days to have a permit processed and often there is a charge for this, so find out in advance so it doesn’t hinder you plans.

 Our advice is to ensure you have the go ahead prior to booking your skip bin…. More questions?…. LIVE CHAT our staff now!

Hazardous waste – including electrical items like TVs, computers and fridges – shouldn’t be put into the normal rubbish collection or a skip.

Instead, contact your council, who will be able to advise you on where to take all types of hazardous waste in your area. Most hazardous waste can be taken to your local waste and recycling centre (sometimes referred to as the ‘tip’ or the ‘dump’), which is run by your local council.In some cases, your local council may be able to collect the waste from you – there may be a charge for this.

Yesterday organics recycling firm Agrivert  officially opened its 45,000 tonnes-a-year capacity anaerobic digestion facility at Cassington near Oxford.

The plant will be used to turn municipal food waste into 2MW of renewable electricity to be supplied to the National Grid. The £9 million plant was developed as a joint venture with skip hire firm M&M Skip Hire under a 20-year contract with Oxfordshire county council.

At the official opening ceremony councilor Ian Hudspeth, cabinet member for growth and infrastructure at Oxfordshire county council, said: “This is a fantastic facility that is performing a key role in reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill in Oxfordshire, providing sustainable and renewable electricity for over 4,000 homes. The plant will also provide quality fertilizer for local agriculture - a real win-win scenario.”The 45,000 tone a year capacity plant will be used to treat food waste from Oxfordshire. Waste will be decontaminated, homogenised and pasteurised before being pumped into digesters. Bacteria breaks down the organic material in the absence of oxygen - which produces methane-rich biogas. This methane is captured, cleaned and fed into a gas engine, which powers a generator creating renewable electricity. The plant, which is in the final stages of commissioning, is also set to produce renewable heat, which Agrivert intends to use to help heat the pasteurizers and the digesters. And, in later phases of development, surplus heat will be used to dry woodchip to provide a sustainable fuel source.Agrivert was awarded a long-term contract with Oxfordshire county council in March 2009 - at which time it announced its plans to develop what it stated was the first large-scale municipal waste AD plant.
