Recycling Equipment for Charities & Community Groups

Understandably charities and 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 Recycling Equipment Rental to help minimise their costs of trade waste disposal. 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 in Devon Saves Money on Waste 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 to the local community however, they found it challenging to handle the resulting large quantities of used cartons, boxes, bottles etc so they invited our Devon-based Waste Expert in for free advice.

Following a review of the options available and a successful trial, the volunteers at the charity were delighted by the cost and space savings generated by their chosen medium sized Cardboard Baler which is also able to bale their plastic packaging waste. The money & additional storage space gained has meant that they have been able to support more people in the local community which is a fantastic result. QCR supports the charity with ongoing volunteer training so everyone working there can use it safely.

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.
