Commingled recycling and skip bin services for Australian households and businesses

Single-stream recycling, also known as commingled recycling is a system wherein mixed waste types such as paper, plastic, and metals are mixed into a single collection truck. This makes it easy for the clients to put the waste into a single bin, be it at home, work, or public. The consumer won’t have to take pains to put different types of waste into different skip bins. General waste, food waste, and Styrofoam waste are generally not accepted by skip bin services providing commingled recycling services. Avoid putting hazardous waste, such as batteries and paints into skin bin services' commingled bins.  However, commingled recycling service separates each stream of waste, and uses appropriate recycling methods so that the material can be reused. Single-stream recycling also results in waste reduction, resulting in cost reduction compared to traditional methods of waste collection and recycling.   

The most common types of waste accepted by commingled recycling services include aluminium cans, plastic bottles, paper, cardboard, plastic, and glass jars.  Additionally, commingled recycling reduces the amount of waste that ends up in a landfill, as the material is recycled and can be used to manufacture new products. To sort out materials, specialised commingled recycling service Richmond Waste uses machines that separate different waste types, such as cardboard, paper, metals, glass, and plastic from commingled waste. The separated materials are then placed on a conveyor belt that moves recyclables past a series of workers. The workers pick up items, and put them into corresponding chutes, depending upon the type of recycling that will be used for those items. Heavier metal items are picked by a magnet and moved to an appropriate recycling facility to be processed into new materials.   

  

No stress to segregating waste   

 

As single-compartment trucks used by commingled recycling services are less expensive to purchase and operate, they take less time to collect and thus reduce waste transportation costs. Commingled recycling by Richmond Waste also results in more flexible solutions in terms of the materials that can be recovered. Like, the skip bin service can collect more paper grades that may be collected, including mixed residential paper, which can cause issues when it comes to recycling them through traditional methods. As one does not have to take the stress of sorting waste and putting it into different containers, the commingled recycling service by Richmond Waste becomes a better option for those overwhelmed by multi-stream skip bin services. 

Recycling a variety of waste types

Skip bin hire services   

 

Skip bins provided by Richmond Waste in Lismore, Bellini, Byron, Kyogle, and Richmond Valley council areas are large, open-topped waste containers that are designed to be loaded by a skip loader. The bins have a distinct shape; typically they feature a longitudinal cross-section which is either a trapezium or two stacked trapezia. The lower portion of the bin has a smaller edge at the bottom, and a longer one on the top. This design of the skip bin makes it easy to load onto the truck. One end of the skip bin sometimes has a larger door that hinges down to allow for manual loading and unloading. They are made of durable and tough material, so they can withstand tough use by labourers and users.   

  

Richmond Waste’s skip bin service provides bins with markings up to which they can be filled. This is a safety feature, which makes them safe to transport. Medium-size skip bins can hold 45 to 55 black bin bags and can fit on most drives and gardens. Large builder skippers are ideal for all construction jobs, as these can fit nearly 8 tonnes of soil and stone. Jumbo skip bins provided by skip bin services are most efficient for large projects like commodity relocation. The bins can hold a variety of waste types, such as timber, office clearance items, and home and garden waste
