Mission Statement

 

At Howard Waste Skips Ltd we provide quality, measured waste management services that will not only meet our customers’ expectations but will achieve full compliance with current legislation and the highest industry standards


We manage our recycling operations to a standard that avoids where practicable, or minimises where not, our impact on the environment. In order to achieve this we are committed to training all employees to recognise the importance of our policy and to adopt appropriate work procedures that best minimise our environmental impact.


Responsibility for the environment is ranked equally with that for the Health and Safety of employees, the general public and others.


Environmental Policy


Howard Waste Skips Ltd takes the deliberate approach to prevent pollution and reduce waste disposal.

Prevention and reduction are far more desirable and economically beneficial then rectifying damage after the event.

As a company we control our activities to avoid causing unnecessary and unacceptable risks or adverse effects on the environment as far as is reasonably practical.

As a minimum we will comply with all current legislation relevant to our activities. In addition we will:-

  • Develop environmental awareness and individual responsibility amongst all our employees at all levels.

  • Howard Waste Skips will continue to improve standards by utilising technology, whilst maintaining a consistent recycling approach.
  • We will extract the maximum amount of reusable/recyclable materials. Any non-recyclables will be sorted, recorded and transferred safely to landfill.
     
  • Plant, vehicles and equipment will be maintained and operated to provide the maximum environmental protection.
  • We will work in partnership with our customers, suppliers and subcontractors to achieve responsible and best value solutions to waste recycling.
  • Local community interests will be assessed and positive communication engaged where appropriate.
  • Reduce fossil fuel consumption by using local providers of goods and services
  • Effective methods of source separation will be preferred to maximise the recovery of materials and thereby minimise pollution.
  • Natural habitats and wildlife will be respected and controlling work around their habitats will be encouraged.

Our Directors shall keep this policy under review and ensure that the company consistently complies with current legislation and continually improves its environmental performance.
