Understandably charities and community groups are looking to make the most out of every pound donated, so keeping waste costs down is essential. Some District Councils in the UK do not charge charities for disposing of their waste, but will still charge for the hire of the bins and collections therefore it is in the best interest of a charity to reduce the volume of waste that they make in order to minimise costs. QCR have partnered with many UK based charities to supply them with low cost Recycling Equipment Rental to help minimise their waste costs. Here is an example of how a charity has benefitted from baling their cardboard & plastic packaging waste in a baler instead of using bins.
Charity Saves Money using a Cardboard Baler
QCR have partnered with a charity based in Devon who were struggling with the rising cost of disposing of their cardboard and plastic packaging waste. Their volunteers do fantastic work collecting surplus food from local businesses in order to offer it to the local community however, they found it challenging to handle the large quantities of used cartons and boxes so they invited our Devon-based Waste Expert in for free advice.
Following a review of the options available, the charity welcomed a free cardboard baler trial where a high quality machine was delivered to their chosen location for free. The volunteers at the charity were delighted by the cost and space savings generated by their chosen medium sized Cardboard Baler which they could also use to bale their plastic packaging waste. All businesses and organisations in Devon benefit from free machine delivery and installation by an experienced installer from QCR. The money saved by reducing their reliance on bins and additional storage space gained at the building has enabled them to support more people in the local community which is a fantastic result. QCR supports the charity with ongoing volunteer training and documentation so everyone working there can use it safely. An easy to read instruction manual was also supplied.
If in the future the charity has outgrown their baler, QCR can upgrade their machine to a larger size as our broad range of equipment includes both small, medium and large machines.
We don’t like to name our partners on our website, but please do get in touch and we’ll share further details of the benefits this charitable organisation gained when they installed a waste baler at their site.
