Some iconic things we are yet to find in a skip.

It could be because toys were built to last back then, or they could be filling the donation bins of charity shops. But we are always surprised these haven't made it into one of our skips yet.

Sadly that might mean a lot of these things have ended up in landfill instead... It's worth reflecting on that we think.

Have there been things you've dumped in the past that you wish you hadn't? Or feel wasteful now you're thinking about it?

Digital waste tracking, and why it should matter to you.

Waste crime, like fly tipping and dumping, costs the UK an estimated £1 billion every year. That’s nearly the cost of building two new hospitals wasted on dodgy dumping and questionable paperwork.

But that’s set to change, as from the 1st of October this year, a new system is coming into force that you need to be aware of.

The Digital Waste Tracking System (DWTS) records waste from collection to disposal or recycling. It’s a new digital record that’s trying to make it harder for illegal operators. Every waste load will need to be logged, timestamped and matched against a licensed facility so waste can’t disappear along the journey.

For businesses, it’s time to ask your waste carrier some important questions, before the changes come into affect, to make sure you’re not caught out: are they registered for DWTS, do they know their obligations, and can they tell you what happens to your waste once they take it away? If the answers are vague, that’s worth paying attention to.

For us, it’s no big change. We’ve always worked as a responsible, licensed carrier and all this means for us is our work ethic now comes with a digital record.

One thing we are passionate about as a business, we know how important it is to deal with a company who is helpful.

We don't just mean at the point of sale, but throughout the whole hire. Someone who picks up for a quick query, doesn't hide behind rigid policies if your plans change on the day, and will listen and adapt when needs must. That's what real peace of mind looks like when you're working with a company.

You shouldn't be left hanging on hold, and you shouldn't be told to email in when a quick call would sort it there and then.

Excuse us for getting serious for a second, but this drought and what it's doing to our landscape makes it impossible not to say something.

There's an assumption that fly tipping, dumping and littering happen because people are trying to make it harder, or more expensive, to get rid of waste properly. But whether it's fires started by batteries dumped incorrectly, or the risk of litter sparking wildfires, doing it properly matters more than ever.

We never thought we'd be using the words "wild fire" about the UK, but here we are, because of how we treat our planet. "What we dump is our children's legacy" has been our mantra for decades, and it's because every bit of waste comes with a debt attached.

So if you're having a clear out, please get rid of your waste properly, with a certified waste team that won't just send it all to landfill. It doesn't have to be us. But it does have to be someone.

At Fakenham Skips, we work hard to divert 98% of the waste we collect from landfill.

But what does that mean? Well for our on site processing plant that means that we sort and recover your waste in a variety of ways:

Concrete Waste:
Concrete waste is carefully processed and crushed so that it can be reused as recycled aggregate. This reduces the need for newly quarried materials and gives concrete waste a second life in construction and groundwork projects.

Garden Waste:
Soil, grass cuttings, branches and plant material is separated and sent for composting wherever possible. This allows organic waste to break down naturally and be reused for agriculture and land improvement, returning nutrients back to the soil.

Paper and Cardboard:
Paper and cardboard waste is separated and prepared for recycling so it can be processed into new paper products. This reduces the need for raw timber, supporting more responsible use of natural resources.

Plastics and uPVC:
Plastics and uPVC waste such as packaging, sheeting and building components are sorted for reprocessing. They can be reused for new products, reducing waste and demand for newly manufactured plastics.

Metals:
Steel, aluminium, copper and pipework is separated from mixed waste streams. Ferrous metals are removed using magnets while others are sorted by hand. Once processed, they can be melted down and reused, reducing the need for raw material extraction and keeping valuable resources in circulation.

And that's not all, we are working towards a 100% landfill diversion rate by 2030.

Fakenham might be home, but when it comes to skips, we get out and about more than people realise.

We cover a big stretch of North Norfolk, from Downham Market in the west, across to Norwich, over to Cromer in the east and up to Hunstanton in the north. That's a fair chunk of some of the prettiest parts of the county.

So even if you're nowhere near Fakenham, there's a good chance we're still your nearest skip company.
