Trash Compactors, Balers, and The Supply Chain Crisis

How Renting Refurbished Trash Compactors & Balers Can Help Minimize Disruption to Your Business’s Waste & Recycling Operations

The Waste & Recycling Industry has been hit hard by the supply chain issues that are wreaking havoc worldwide as we recover from the pandemic. Lead times from most manufacturers for new trash compactors & balers have tripled in length compared to pre-pandemic times. Quotes that used to be good for a month are now only good for ten days due to unprecedented increases in steel pricing. These skyrocketing steel prices have led to a 25% steel surcharge that is now placed on all new orders, making purchasing a new compactor or baler a bigger slice of your capital expenditure budget than ever before. These challenges create headaches for people like you who are just trying to keep your business’s waste-handling operations running smoothly during these turbulent times. Thankfully for you, there is a solution. If you’re in need of a trash compactor for your business, you should rent used equipment instead of purchasing new. Here’s why:

Renting Your Trash Compactor or Baler Instead of Purchasing

Choosing to rent your equipment instead of purchasing shields you from the effects of the steel surcharge by eliminating the need for capital expenditure. Your equipment instead becomes an operating expense. As a result, you will no longer need to pay 25% on top of what you would typically owe and run the risk of depleting your Capex budget on an item that does not help your business grow.

Choosing a Refurbished Trash Compactor or Baler Instead of Purchasing New

Going with a refurbished compactor or baler as opposed to a new one not only saves you money but will also reduce your lead time since the equipment is already in stock. You can order a machine that already exists and is ready for your application.

Renting refurbished equipment (as opposed to buying new) is the most effective strategy for navigating the current supply chain issues regarding your waste equipment.
