Doing our bit for the planet.

AT URBIN, WE'RE ACCUTELY AWARE OF THE IMPACT RUBBISH HAS ON OUR ENVIRONMENT, AND WE'RE DETERMINED TO DO OUR BIT.

Sustainability by helping reduce waste.

Within London alone there is about 18 million tonnes of waste produced a year; across household and commercial. Most of this waste can be recycled, if we can help cut down on the amount of waste sent to landfills, this will improve the future for generations to come. We are a firm believer sustainability and our aim is to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills.

  • Using only licensed recycling facilities, helping us to achieve this.
  • Ensuring a disposal audit trail is available.
  • Using digital technology to send text messages, emails and e-tickets: reducing the need for excessive paper waste.

Utilising a ‘Man and Van’ service: – reduces the number of miles, fuel, and time. Using a ‘Man and Van’ means no need to have a skip outside on the drive, waiting for one to be delivered and collected when full, requiring two trips and twice your amount of time.
