CHANGING THE WAY YOU MANAGE WASTE

It’s not just what you need to get rid of. It’s how you dispose of waste that really matters. It matters because of legislation. It matters because getting it wrong can damage pockets, businesses and reputations. It matters because when you work with the right waste management partner – a partner who handles everything from permits to recycling - life is easier.

We know effective waste management isn’t your goal. It’s the thing you need to do to create the space for whatever’s next. Yet whether your project is garden clearance or site remediation, effective waste management is our goal. It’s all we do. And we’ve been helping households and businesses do it since 1972.

Let’s move recycling forward. Talk to GB Waste Management about skip hire and waste management services for your home or business.

1972
GB Skips HeritageSTART OF G&B - Aged 21, Brian already knew he wanted to start his own business. With his friend Gordon he bought a lorry with a compressor. That was the start of G&B – ‘Gordon and Brian’. Eventually it became G&B compressor hire. He hired out mobile compressors and as his business grew he acquired more and more lorries.

1985
We purchased our first yard office and storage space in South Woodford, and started supplying tipper lorries to the London Borough of Newham.

1986
Our business changed, leading to a change in direction to skip hire. We bought up a mini-skip hire business of one lorry and 6 mini skips.

1995
We purchased our Macks Skips in Leyton. They had about 200 skips and key admin staff and drivers, trading by this time as GB Macks Skips.

“This was a substantial move for us,” says Brian. “It significantly changed the way in which we carried on business. Before, we had simply hired out our skips and paid others to tip our waste into their site. Now we had our own waste transfer station to collect waste before it went to landfill.”

2000
GB gains the WAMITAB (Waste Industry Training and Advisory Board) Certificate of Technical Competence.

2007
Trading as GB Skips we moved to our current Silvertown base, setting up and equipping a complete waste transfer station, installing a weighbridge, employing new staff and exploring new lines of business. These included rubbish clearance, waste management and scrap metal dealing.

2013
Keen to attract customers from a wider geographical base we opened our second waste transfer station in Roebuck Road, Hainault. State-of-the-art equipment means we can handle waste efficiently to help us meet and exceed our target of 85% recycling.

2014
This year we are confident that an upturn in the economy will bring in a new customer base as people start to clear their old homes and offices and make fresh starts. Long overdue building works are getting started at last – their sites will all need careful waste management. Brian and Sheila can step back happy that their growing family business is in the safe hands of their children.
