Waste Disposal & Skip Hire in Chester
Skip Hire in Chester is the main way in which the domestic and DIY customers dispose of there waste and ensure they recycle as much as possible. This is also true of the construction industry who for many years have used skip hire in Chester for there needs in disposing of there waste. Skip hire in Chester has been supplied by Skipbookers for many years and is probably the cheapest easiest skip hire booking system on the web. All skip hire that is supplied by Skipbookers in Chester comes from a local skip hire depot in the Chester area, this again is important to Skipbookers as we are very aware of our environmental impact and our carbon foot print. Our aim is to reduce the need for landfill in Chester by ensuring as much of the skip hire waste is recycled or re used, therefor we do not want to impact on that goal by then travelling more miles than necessary in order to deliver and collect the skip hired from us.
The local authority have adopted a similar stance to skipbookers and have put in place many new schemes to help households recycle as much of there domestic waste as possible, it is therefor important we feel that skipbookers offers a solution and recycling service via skip hire for the domestic, DIY and commercial industrial skip hire markets.
Chester is most well known because of its earliest settlers, the Romans, and what
they left behind. The walls of Chester, and the
amphitheatre, both stand as a testament to ancient engineering.
The Romans founded Chester as Deva Victrix in the 70s AD in the land of the Celtic
Cornovii, according to ancient cartographer Ptolemy, as a fortress during the Roman
expansion northward. It was named Deva either after the goddess of the Dee, or directly
from the British name for the river. The 'victrix' part of the name was taken from
the title of the Legio XX Valeria Victrix which was based at Deva. A civilian settlement
grew around the military base, probably originating from trade with the fortress.
The fortress was 20% larger than other fortresses in Britannia built around the
same time at York (Eboracum) and Caerleon (Isca Augusta); this has led to the suggestion
that the fortress, rather than London (Londinium), was intended to become the capital
of the Roman province of Britannia Superior. The civilian amphitheatre, which was
built in the 1st century, could seat between 8,000 and 10,000 people. It is the
largest known military amphitheatre in Britain, and is also a Scheduled Monument.
The Minerva Shrine in the Roman quarry is the only rock cut Roman shrine still in
situ in Britain. The fortress was garrisoned by the legion until at least the late
4th century. Although the army had abandoned the fortress by 410 when the Romans
retreated from Britannia, the civilian settlement continued (probably with some
Roman veterans staying behind with their wives and children) and its occupants probably
continued to use the fortress and its defences as protection from raiders from the
Irish Sea.
The city walls surround an encyclopaedia of history peppered in between modern buildings.
Chester has the oldest shop
frontage in Britain, being medieval it gives a good insight into the street
construction methods of that period. The cathedral also underlines the splendour
of the period also.
The Bear and Billet Inn built in 1661 is a fine example of Tudor England, constructed
of tarred oak beams, and in-filled with
wattle and daub before being lime washed, a method indicative of this period.
Georgian Chester is highlighted by Grosvenor bridge, designed by Thomas Harrison
(1744-1829) - a famous architect born in Yorkshire , trained in Rome and practiced
in the North West and spent much of His Life in Chester. He designed Grosvenor Bridge
in the Greek and Roman revival style, popular in that period.
Victorian Britain was a period of excess and this was apparent in their buildings,
from the railway station opened on 1st August 1848 to the Queens Railway
Hotel, built around 1860.The station is one of only 22 listed stations in the United
Kingdom.
Moving on to today, we see a city with modern issues, one of which is waste and
its' management.
Cheshire's Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy
Waste in Chester comes under the Cheshire's Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy
which sets out how Cheshire's local authorities intend to reduce, recycle, recover
and dispose of their municipal waste between 2007 and 2020.
The current strategy is well documented and is available on the
Cheshire West & Chester website
Background
Cheshire's first Joint Household Waste Management Strategy was agreed in 2002 by
the Cheshire Waste Partnership which comprised of the former County and District
Councils. The Strategy was developed following two extensive public consultation
exercises. Following t a public consultation in 2004 on the need for energy from
waste the decision was taken to agree new targets for recycling and waste minimization.
Strategic Environmental Assessment
In addition to the revised policies above, the Cheshire Waste Partnership have completed
a Strategic Environmental Assessment of the Strategy (SEA). This is a method of
assessing the impact of a strategy on the environment and health as well as how
sustainable the strategy is.
