Spreading the Cost of Ownership

The recycling scheme that looked out of reach becomes a reality…
We always emphasise the importance of reducing your environmental footprint through an effective recycling scheme that makes use of environmentally conscious ranges of recycling bins. Selecting bins that are high quality and designed to last, UK or EU manufactured to meet international environmental standards such as ISO 14001 and which contain recycled content, will help to enhance your company’s Corporate Social Responsibility Policy and Environmental Management System.
These types of recycling bins may not initially be the lowest cost option but a successful recycling scheme can save you significant amounts of money and could become self-funding in just a few years. The cost of simply disposing of waste in landfill is currently £40 per tonne and Envirowise estimate that the
true cost of waste can be up to 25 times the cost of disposal and potentially 4.5% of a company’s annual turnover.
If you are looking for ways to make immediate savings why not consider a finance scheme that will allow you to select a range of quality recycling bins with no capital outlay?
How does it work?
- Spreading the costs of your recycling scheme over a 2-3 year period could cost as little as a few pounds a week.
- It is easy to add to your scheme throughout the agreed term and there is an optional built-in replacement services for any damages.
- At the end of the agreed term you can purchase your bins, replace your bins with brand new, or up-grade the whole scheme – simply extend the payments for a further period.
- You can keep adding or upgrading – as new equipment becomes available you can upgrade to the latest models either mid-term or when your agreement ends.
- Fixed finance – you pay the same rate per bin for the whole term of the agreement, therefore making your ‘dollar’ stretch further.
- There is less upfront cash outlay and you only pay for equipment for the time you need it.
- Potential tax benefits depending on how the agreement is structured.
- Funding your scheme in this way will allow you to choose quality products that will last and function effectively in your workplace.
As an example – if you wanted to buy 20 x Slim Jims for your offices and 2 of our premier range New Brussels to make an immediate impact in your smart reception, the capital cost would be around £1100.00 – a big ask in these spend-conscious times. With our new finance option the same equipment would cost you just £40.00 per month, or around £9.80 per week!
