sita have a few landfill sites, as you say though these big companies like biffa and sita dont recycle and take straight to landfill. your best bet is to use a smaller company as they cant afford not to recycle. i work for a skip hire/ trade waste company and we recycle about 80% of what comes out of the skips as for the trade waste, glass is lifted by cullet merchants we take away stuff that can only go to landfill and cardboard is collected seperatly and taken for recycling. everything we recycle the company gets paid for and thats how we make our money
