QCR Recycling Equipment

QCR Recycling Equipment (QCR) are recognised as the leading independent cardboard baler specialist in the UK. QCR offer free cardboard baler trials to help demonstrate the benefits of using a baler for cardboard instead of commercial bins. Balers supplied by QCR can help businesses to save money on waste and boost sustainability. Hire and purchase options are both available on both new and refurbished waste baling equipment.

Since the company began in 1999, QCR have broadened their range to include specialist compaction solutions for many types of dry mixed recyclable materials (DMR). These include compactors for baling polythene, polystyrene, aluminium cans and bottles. When dry mixed recyclable waste is baled, it’s more efficient to collect and recycle. High volumes of baled recyclable waste can be sold helping to cover the cost of the baler. Businesses can benefit from free recycling and waste baling advice when they book a free waste audit with QCR.

The range offered by QCR also includes compaction equipment for non-recyclable, non-hazardous household or commercial rubbish commonly referred to as general waste. Rubbish and litter can be safely compacted into wheeled bins or waste bags leading to fewer collections and fewer carbon emissions.

QCR has a proven track record of providing robust waste baling and waste compaction equipment across the UK. QCR customers rave about the high levels of service offered by the company by posting 5* reviews on multiple platforms. Equipment supplied by QCR can be hired, leased or purchased with a comprehensive warranty. There are many advantages of renting equipment from the company including free delivery, free servicing and free operator training.

Following feedback from local authorities, the company have launched the QCR Solar Bin Hire Service in 2025. The hire service offers councils the opportunity to procure self-compacting solar powered bins for a fixed monthly price. By hiring instead of buying the bins outright, no large upfront investment is needed. The monthly savings generated by switching to this type of smart litter bin can help to fund the cost of the monthly rental payments. With fewer waste bag changes needed, waste collection teams have more time for other tasks such as street cleaning.

Councils have the opportunity to upgrade their rental package to include access to a remote bin monitoring platform. At the end of the agreement, council teams can choose to continue with the rental, purchase the bins outright at a reduced price or return them. The system has been fully tested in Europe, guaranteeing that whatever the weather throws at it in the UK, it’ll continue to perform.
