Supaskips one of the largest skip and waste recycling companies in the North West have recently installed a Hewitt Robins 900×600 Super Jaw crusher.  Operating form a 2 acre site in Lancaster where a impressive 800 tonnes a day of waste is processed and recycled.

The Hewitt Robins Super Jaw has been designed and developed over the last 10 years specifically to meet the needs of the recycling and quarrying industry.

The 900 x 600 Super Jaw comes with as standard:

• Rigid mainframe
• Manganese fixed and swing Jaw plates
• Hydraulic Jaw adjustment
• Overload pressure valve system.
• Cast Flywheels
• Hydraulic Hand Pump
• Motor Pulley
• Drive Belts

Mel Welsh, Managing Director of Supaskips commented “The Hewitt Robins Jaw crusher represented the obvious choice, we had previously been operating a mobile Jaw and found the process of transporting the sorted rubble from the end of the picking station to the mobile Jaw to be inefficient, costly and time consuming.  The new configuration has not only reduced costs, improved maintenance access and increased production but has also resulted in a better shaped product, increasing value for our customers.”

A1 Supaskips (think pink!) have introduce a new air condition covered enclosure to the picking lines inside their plant at Lune Industrial Estate. The welfare of the staff is a major priority and concern for the company. With the new enclosures around the picking lines, not only has the company produced a much cleaner working environment for their employees, they have also greatly reduced the noise levels as well.

“Obviously working with waste is never going to be the nicest job in the world, but the company has taken every step possible to make the working environment inside the plant as good as it can be. The company is still looking at ways and new methods to increase its recycling rates, which already average an amazing 84% of all waste that enters the plant. It is hoped that this figure can be increased to over 90% by the end of 2009″ Bill Whitbread, Commercial Manager

Yesterday 1st July 2008, A1Supaskips (think pink!) acquired Eurowaste to strengthen their position in the market and guarantee the future stability and success of the company, making it one of the largest skip and waste recyclers in the North West.

The acquisition of Eurowaste adds another 3 wagons and 400 skips together with Eurowaste’s  extended customer base.

Mr Mel Welsh Director of  A1Supaskips (think pink!)  said

‘that the purchase of Eurowaste was a logical progression for Supaskips. Our state of the art recycling plant in Lancaster, through heavy investment, has made it hard for the smaller companies to achieve the recycling figures currently achieved by A1Supaskips (think pink!) and to remain cost effective in today’s environmentally conscious society.’

Based in the old Power Station on Lune industrial estate, the company has been sorting and recycling waste in the Lancaster area for the last 25 years, A1 Supaskips (think pink!)  has become a household name around the city, offer value and with prices that are hard to beat.

There isn’t any one who has not seen the famous “Think Pink” skips around the area.

With the closure of the landfill site at Salt Ayre, the need for an alternative solution to meet the needs of both business and residential customer’s has become even more urgent. A1 Supaskips (think pink!) are the answer. Since the merger wiith Eurowaste A1 Supaskips (think pink!) have over 1200 skips at thier disposal, and a recycling plant that is handling approximately 800 tonnes of waste a day, based in the heart of Lancaster,  they are able to meet all your requirements.

Morecambe Skip Hire, a division of A1 Supaskips (think pink!) was set up to cover Morecambe and the surrounding area.

Morecambe and Heysham has seen much redevelopment over the last few years and A1 Supaskips (think pink!)  are at the forefront for supplying an effective waste solution to both business and residential customers.

In our local area many householders and businesses do an excellent job reducing landfill by separating their waste for recycling. However almost all the skips and bins of ‘mixed waste’ go straight to landfill - and as the landfill site at Salt Ayre in Lancaster is now closed, most of this unsorted waste will be loaded into lorries and transported down the M6 to become landfill elsewhere.
