The thought of investing in used recycling machinery might initially raise concerns, but in reality there can be benefits for some over purchasing new equipment. In this blog post, we will explore the positive aspects of buying used machinery including cost savings, environmental benefits, and the importance of maintenance. Cost Savings It’s no secret that new machinery can be quite costly.  For those just starting out or on a limited budget, a brand new piece of equipment might be preferred but simply not an option.   However if you buy used machinery from the right source, you can still purchase a high-quality and long-lasting product at a great price. This allows you to allocate your budget more efficiently and potentially invest in other areas of your recycling operations. Environmental Benefits Being in the recycling industry, you understand the significance of reusing materials to conserve natural resources. By buying used recycling machinery, you are not only saving yourself money but also can contribute to reducing the demand for raw materials. By engaging in the buying and selling of used machines, we can minimise waste and prevent unnecessary landfill and incineration.  Quality & Maintenance Although some of the machines we sell are sold "as is" withouth any work, the majority of the used equipment we receive is fully reconditioned before resale.   We ensure that it is in excellent working order and take pride in providing high-quality used equipment that both meets your operational needs and looks as new as it can look. Our own McIntyre branded machines are built to last in any event, with some of the first McIntyre machines (dating back to 1975) till working in the industry today.  As such a reconditioned McIntyre machine can [...]
