Skip Hire Magazine vote our very own Chloe Skip Chick of the Month
If you’re like us, you love a good skip as much as the next enthusiast. We love them even more when someone recognises our work in the field.
We were chuffed from head to toe when Skip Hire Magazine awarded our delightful employee Chloe Elizabeth Hammond their prestigious Skip Chick of the Month accolade.
Chloe has been at EMS Waste Management for five years and, by all accounts, is loving it, from banter with her fellow skip lorry drivers through to the time she got stuck in a 12 yard skip. We’re not quite sure how Chloe managed that, but we love and admire her for it in equal measure.
Kicking it in the Ukraine
Hands up if you can speak Ukrainian? Don’t worry if you can’t. Chloe’s your girl if ever you must talk your way out of a scrape with angry Ukrainians.
She confessed to the magazine that after hoofing a lady on the bus accidentally while on holiday, she politely thanked her. ‘Thank you’ may have been the only Ukrainian phrase she knew, but the lesson stands: good manners will get you far.
Walking on the wild side
We do confess we’re a little bit in awe of Chloe at EMS Waste Management because she has rubbed shoulders with celebrities in the past. When she was just 16, our blue-eyed skip lorry driver met the TV presenter Nick Baker, of ‘The Really Wild Show’. We hear he’s a good guy.
Whipping up a treat
When she’s not working her magic behind the wheel for us, Chloe cooks up some mean French toast with bacon and maple syrup at home.
We’d love to try that sometime, but for now we’d like to congratulate Chloe and roar her on towards the Skip Chick of the Year title.
Good luck, Chloe!

Our new waste transfer site in Exeter is running like clockwork
The opening of our new waste transfer site means that we start the New Year in a stronger position than ever to provide our customers with the waste disposal services they need. The new site is now fully operational, quickly processing multiple kinds of waste so that they can be recycled or disposed of appropriately. With a larger capacity than ever before, we are now able to serve more domestic and commercial customers across the South-West. Our fresh site allows us to operate even more efficiently, helping us to keep costs competitive without compromising on the service you receive.
Take advantage of the waste disposal services we offer
Our team provides a complete solution to your waste disposal: from garden clear outs through to large-scale construction waste removal (including the disposal of hazardous waste), we can get the job done.
The main types of waste which we are able to remove are:
– Green waste: this includes lawn trimmings, timber, hedge cuttings and weeds. Drop the waste off directly, or ask us about skip hire for larger quantities. – Commercial waste disposal: we are able to provide skips in which to deposit your waste, as well as arrange pick-up and collection as required. – Asbestos and hazardous substances: our team are able to remove asbestos safely and dispose of it appropriately. – Scrap metal: we pay good money for a variety of scrap metals and can collect from the Exeter/Paignton area. – Waste recycling: our comprehensive recycling facilities allow us to recycle glass, paper, timber, metal and much more. Currently, more than 90% of the waste which we collect is recycled in some form!
We also offer a huge range of skip hire options, as well as assistance with waste management.
Now that our new waste transfer site is open, we look forward to being able to provide an even better service to our South-West customers.
Remember this time last year when we were hit by the snow? Well the Beast from the East was no match with this SW firm!
Starting the year with a big clear out of your home, site or business premises brings a flurry of activity to shift rubbish, which could be “snow fun” in January and February!
Weather forecasters are warning a new version of the Beast from the East is set to bring harsh weather to the UK.
The good news is that this doesn’t need to stop your project. You can still start your “spring clean” early or generally shift unwanted items or general waste. Come hail or high winds, skip hire in Devon and the surrounding area can still be a “snow brainer” with EMS.
Yellow in the snow can be good!
Have you ever heard the expression that you should avoid “yellow snow”? Well, there’s no need to worry about our distinctive yellow skips when the cold front comes, as they really stand out.
We also offer a “stand out” service to get them into place, and collect them in a timely fashion, whatever the weather.
Is it possible to hire skips in severe weather?
Weather does not stop play when you know how to provide reliable waste management services, even when the “ice is right” outside your door.
We have the equipment and expertise for reliable and cost effective skip hire all year round. So, the Beast of the East in early 2018 was no match for our vehicles and skills!
Whatever the next few weeks bring, there will be nothing to stop us from coming in from the cold and getting your skip needs sorted, including arranging any necessary paperwork and local authority permission for roadside placement. Which all means that you can go ahead and plan your building or waste removal project in the Devon area.
Give us a call to discuss your waste management needs.
With EMS you can be sure of a warm service, and the comfort of fair prices even when we have to “battle the elements” to get to you.
From the whole team here at Stuarts, we would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic start to 2019.
We’ve had an absolutely incredible year which has seen some exciting developments for the company, and we couldn’t have done it without the support of you as our loyal customers.
Nothing means more to us than delivering results and meeting your needs, which is why we’ve been so pleased with all the positive feedback we’ve heard from you in 2018. This really has been one of our best years on record and that’s all thanks to you.
We care passionately about the work that we do but we never get complacent just because we receive glowing reviews. There’s always room for improvement and we’ve made a few New Year’s resolutions for the company, with the aim of improving the services we can offer you.
Any suggestions or comments are, as always, warmly welcomed!
Despite the doom and gloom around the state of the UK economy, we’re going into 2019 feeling very upbeat and positive. We’re determined to make the coming year every bit as successful as the year we’re seeing out, and that means upping our game.
We look forward to working with you throughout 2019 and really appreciate and value the ongoing support you have shown us.
Once again, on behalf of the whole team, we hope the festive period is filled with happiness and fun, and we wish you a prosperous New Year!
Another new vehicle for EMS – the Volvo L7OH loader
As Xmas comes closer, EMS have got an early present to tell our customers about!
We have recently welcomed a brand-new Volvo L70H Loader to our fleet of top-class vehicles.
This new purchase will allow us to offer even better service to our clients and more flexibility in our waste management service.
But what is so amazing about this new machine?
Speed and power
The thing that we love about this new L70H loader is the extra features it brings to the table.
Volvo have packed some great touches in here from the new optimised loading unit to the totally reimagined counterweight.
This makes it a more efficient loader and allows for waste to be loaded faster on-site. It is pretty agile too with a 50 km/h top speed – this again means that less time is spent loading waste for more cost-effective results all around.
When you add in that the fuel efficiency is 20% better than the older model, it really is a fantastic piece of kit to use.
Amazing customer service
One of the things we always try to do at EMS is give more to our wonderful customers. By investing in our fleet of vehicles in the above way, we are able to achieve this.
Adding new machines like the L70H means that we can provide a range of options to meet our clients’ needs. Our customers often have ever-changing needs – offering a flexible selection of equipment enables us to help in the best way possible.
Let EMS help you with your waste, skip hire or recycling
Based in Exeter, we are a family run firm that has been operating for 25 years. During that time we have always taken great pride in leaving all our customers satisfied.
This new Volvo L70H Loader will help us continue to do this and boost our already impressive loading power.
We offer a full range of waste management, commercial waste and recycling services along with skip hire so give us a call today. Our great value service and fully trained staff will be sure to impress.
Get in touch with our friendly team to find the perfect waste management solution for your needs at the ideal price.
