THIRSK SCOUT HUT DREAM COMES TRUE AFTER WASTE MANAGEMENT BUSINESS STEPS IN WITH LANDFILL TAX CREDIT

Sowerby Scout Hut

THIRSK SCOUT HUT DREAM COMES TRUE AFTER WASTE MANAGEMENT BUSINESS STEPS IN WITH LANDFILL TAX CREDIT

 

A 101-year-old North Yorkshire scouts and guides group is set to move back into fully-refurbished premises this month (January 2012) – thanks to support from a Thirsk-based waste management company. Sowerby Scouts and Guide Group, founded in 1910 and based off Front Street, Thirsk, has raised £110,000 for the new premises after gaining a massive £85,000 contribution from family business Todd Waste Management.

Other contributions were made by a wide range of local businesses and award bodies, including Awards for All.

 The scouts and guides group, which has more than 100 members aged between five and 16 from Sowerby, Thirsk, and surrounding villages, sought fund-raising help after its 50-year-old premises fell into disrepair.

 Todd Waste Management, whose managing director, Richard Todd, attended the same scouts group as a teenager, made the community contribution through its landfill tax credit scheme and the remaining funds were raised by the Sowerby Scout and Guide Executive Group through a series of appeals and events. 

Chair of Sowerby Scouts and Guides Association, David Wood, says: “The former building had deteriorated with poor heating and insulation, meagre washing and toilet facilities and an electric installation well below current standards. The building also became terribly cold in the winter – seldom above freezing – and was unsuitable for meetings.

“Our original plan was to try and steadily repair and refurbish the property over five to ten years but this very significant and generous support from Todd Waste Management has allowed us to undertake all the works, and more, at once and we’ll be ready to move in early next year. ”                                  

The new scout hut, built by contractor, Alpha Building Facilities, Ltd, Haxby, includes a community/meeting room, cloakroom, kitchen, storerooms and toilets with facilities for the disabled. It also features low-energy lighting, and insulation which complies with the latest government sustainability standards. Improvements to the façade of the building make it more in keeping with the adjacent parochial hall and local environment.

Todd Waste Management made the donation through not-for–profit organisation, Monde Green, which specialises in managing community projects funded through the Landfill Communities Fund (LCF) which collects landfill tax to which the company contributes through its operations.

Richard Todd says “While our company is committed to moving away from landfill to achieve total recycling and recovery of wastes, it is very pleasing when we are able to make a contribution to such an important community initiative, especially in the current economic climate.

 

“I used this scout hut as a teenager and we are proud to be able to contribute to new premises which will help to create a stronger future for the coming generations of local scouts and guides.”

Todd Waste Management provides a waste management and recycling service to a wide range of customers from large public sector organisations and builders to individual households. The company handles a wide range of wastes including from the construction, industrial and commercial sectors as well as managing the disposal of hazardous materials.

SRF Baled waste export and TSF

After many false dawns and obstacles along the way, Tuesday 24th January 2012 brought a Champagne day for ourselves. After the fire of last May and the long hard road to recovery, we reached a milestone in that we dispatched our first TSF Transfrontier Shipment of waste load of processed non recyclable baled waste to our partner, AVL in Rozenburg, The Netherlands. This simple act of dispatching baled SRF waste took us a step closer to achieving 0% to landfill, total recycling, resource recovery. Whilst we have often been thought of as a skip hire York and Skip hire Scarborough company we are bigger and more ambitious than this. The next project on our list is turn household food, household organic, organic fines, trommel fines, what ever names our care to give it into a homogeneous soup suitable for input into an AD plant (Anaerobic Digestion plant). I will keep you informed of our progress!

Waste Brokering

Over the last year we have repeatedly been asked by our customers if we could supply skips and waste disposal services to all the sites they operate, rather than just sites in our traditional area of operations. I must admit that until now we have resisted this move, as our focus has always been to offer a great waste management service, technical knowledge and one to one service with our name on the site. However with the addition of Darren Smith to our team has had brought the personal skills to be able to ensure that our core values are maintained by providing waste solutions across a larger area. This heralds the start of of skip brokering service, specialising in our core areas of environmental excellence, waste minimisation, contaminated land remediation and hazardous waste services. If you need a skip broker Yorkshire and the North East we aim to be the best.

Recycling Facts –

However you look at it recycling is big news and will continue to be for some time to come.  Whilst we all know what recycling is do we know what happens to the materials once we’ve put them into the bin or skip?  One of the most easily recyclable materials is waste wood.

Lots of timber still gets put to landfill in the UK when there are still many uses left for it.  The chipboard industry use recycled timber in their product which finds its way into many homes and businesses across the country.  There’s also a demand from those involved in manufacturing animal bedding and cat litter to take top quality, grade one material.  More recently the bio-energy market has been keen to take pre-used timber to help them in their quest to generate and supply less expensive electricity to help us move away from fossil fuels.  So, as you can see, when you’ve finished with that old wooden piece of furniture or off cut of timber from your site or factory it’s not the end of the line for it.

At Todd Waste management much of the timber we receive is shredded and used as a bedding material by cattle farmers.

At Todd Waste Management we’re a company who’re whole heartedly committed to recycling and keeping timber out of landfill.  So when you’re looking for timber recycling Bedale, timber recycling Boroughbridge, timber recycling Catterick, timber recycling Easingwold, timber recycling Filey, timber recycling Harrogate, timber recycling Kirkbymoorside, timber recycling Malton, timber recycling Northallerton, timber recycling Pickering, timber recycling Ripon, timber recycling Scarborough, timber recycling Selby, timber recycling Tadcaster, timber recycling Thirsk, timber recycling Wetherby and timber recycling York you’d be best served by contacting Todd Waste Management.

Compactor Skips

Compactor skips - 36yd or 40yd ro-ro skips that are fully enclosed and have a loading aperture at one end which is attached to a static hydraulic compactor. The advantage of these are that they allow the onsite compaction of bulky wastes and are ideal for many large volume applications at retail, commercial and industrial sites. To make it easy, we can also supply and maintain the hydraulic compactor.

Skips

The skip has long been known for its’ convenience for getting rid of your waste but did you know that there are certain things which you can’t put in them.

Most skips are priced on two basis which are transport (the cost of delivering and removing the skip) and disposal (the cost of disposing of the contents).  The disposal costs are reduced by the nature of the contents of the skip.  If the contents are easily recyclable then the cost can be reduced.  If they will be going to landfill then the costs creep up and up.  This is one good reason why we try and recycle as much as we possibly can.

This is also why, when you hire a skip, you must be clear about what you’re going to fill it with.  If you say that it’s all going to be green waste (branches, grass etc) then the price will be less than that of a skip for asbestos.  However, if we then find a couple of tyres in the skip this increases our processing time and the disposal costs.  Therefore, an additional charge will be made to to you the hirer of the skip.

So when you need skip hire York, skip hire Northallerton, skip hire Thirsk, skip hire Malton, skip hire Scarborough , skip hire Catterick, skip hire Bedale, skip hire Easingwold, skip hire Harrogate or just about anywhere in North Yorkshire and you need a company who are straight forward to deal with give Todd Skips a call.
