J&B Recycling Knowledge

Hiring front-end loaders (FELs) is a practical and efficient solution for businesses that generate a lot of waste. Ideal for managing large volumes of non-hazardous waste, general waste and recyclables, FELs provide a robust option for many industries including construction, logistics and warehouses, retail, manufacturing and hospitality venues.

What Size Front-end Loaders are Available?

If you are hiring front-end loaders, J&B Recycling provides 10 yard FELs, which can accommodate a variety of waste streams and are suitable for long-term and short-term hire. With waste processing sites in Middlesbrough, Hartlepool and Washington, J&B Recycling is your trusted partner for skip hire in the North East.

While capable of collecting high-volume waste, front-end loaders are more compact than alternatives such as hooklifts or Roros, making them the skip of choice for areas with limited space.

What Materials are Front-end Loaders used for?

FELs are ideal for many different waste streams such as:

‭• Dry mixed recycling such as cardboard, paper and packaging waste and plastics
‭• Non-recyclables and general waste
‭• Glass including flat glass
‭• Concrete, rubble and other construction waste
‭• Scrap metal
‭• Wood

There are many ways that hiring front-end loaders (FELs) can help your waste management become more efficient and help reduce the environmental impact of your waste - by helping to segregate waste correctly, reduce carbon emissions associated with waste collections, preventing on-site litter and encouraging sustainable waste practices within the team.

Segregating Waste at Source with Front-end Loaders

FELs can hold significant amounts of waste, making them ideal for high-volume operations. Businesses can hire multiple front-end loaders to separate recyclable materials into individual waste streams (such as cardboard, plastics, and glass). Segregating at source helps to minimise waste contamination and makes the recycling process more efficient, correct segregation is also becoming a necessity for trade waste with the introduction of the government’s ‘Simpler Recycling’ scheme.

Waste contamination is a significant issue that increases waste disposal costs and makes the recycling process less efficient. This occurs when materials intended for recycling are mixed with non-recyclable or inappropriate items. At J&B recycling, our recycling processes are amongst the most efficient available and we are proud to recycle 99% of waste.

Reducing Waste Transport Carbon Emissions

The large size of front-end loaders, means they can contain much more waste than smaller bins and store this waste on-site. FELs play an important role in reducing the emissions associated with transporting waste, as larger container capacity allows for less frequent bin collections. Fewer waste collections contributes to less congestion on the roads, less carbon emissions and reduced local air pollution.

Preventing on-site Litter

With secure, lockable lids, the use of front-end loaders helps to prevent waste from littering your business premises, reducing the risk of litter spilling out or being scattered by wind, animals, or unauthorised people. By containing waste in this way, sites remain clean, safe and compliant with health and safety legislation. Regular scheduled waste collections also help to prevent overflow and maintain good hygiene standards.

Encouraging Sustainable Waste Practices

Installing front-end loaders and having clear signage and labels can help to simplify waste disposal and make the process easy for staff to understand. Having waste containers that are conveniently placed and easy to access is fundamental in materials being segregated correctly. Our experienced team can assist with training and educating your staff about good recycling practices, we also have many free resources to help educate about waste disposal.
