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.

‘One in five employers are turning to apprenticeships to help them through the tough economic climate’
Here at EMS Waste Services we pride ourselves on our forward thinking and our dedication to the local area.
Where possible we always like to reward hard work from our loyal employees and promote from within which is why we are massive fans of the latest apprentice schemes available.
Trans Plant Mastertrain based in Exeter are the people we are working with for these fantastic opportunities.
Chloe is one of our latest success stories. Starting at EMS as a weighbridge operator she has worked extremely hard and shown the dedication needed to succeed. By doing this she has gained her Class 1 driving qualification.
If you are interested in joining our continually growing successful team then give us a call. We’ve added all the information you’ll need below but if you do have any further questions please do not hesitate to speak to one of our members of staff who will be happy to help you.
What is the cost and duration of an Apprenticeship?
Our apprenticeships take on average 12 – 18 months to achieve. The majority of the training and all of the assessments are carried out at your place of work. Occasionally apprentices will be invited to attend practical and theoretical training at our centre in Exeter.
The apprenticeship is fully funded for candidates aged under 19 and partially funded for candidates 19 or over. The employer will be expected to pay between £500 to £650 depending on the age of the candidate and the apprenticeship selected.
Trans Plant Mastertrain offers apprenticeships in four key areas. They are:
1. Driving Goods Vehicles (including an intensive lorry driving training course and tests.)
This apprenticeship is designed for anyone wishing to transport goods or who works within transport. For example as a technician, equestrian, agricultural, removals and warehousing. Goods can be transported via bicycle, motorcycle, car, van, rigid lorry and articulated lorries.
2. Warehouse & Storage (including forklift training and certification)
This apprenticeship is designed to suit an individual working in or around a warehouse, stock room or anywhere dealing with or handling goods.
3. Customer Service (including health & safety and manual handling training)
This apprenticeship is designed for anyone who deals with customers directly or indirectly.
4. Business Administration (including an IT qualification, health & safety and manual handling)
This popular qualification relates to almost every industry because nearly every industry requires administration.
On successful completion of the apprenticeship framework at level 2 you may then progress on to the level 3 advanced apprenticeship.
