Finance vertical and horizontal recycling balers from £5,000 to £80,000, for cardboard, plastic and other recyclable waste. HP, lease, or refinance
Yes, recycling balers are financed as a standard asset purchase, usually on hire purchase or a lease, with the machine itself acting as the security. UK prices typically run £5,000 to £80,000, and most deals are written over 12–72 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24–48 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

Guide prices for sizing a finance agreement, not quotes. Manufacturers in this market mostly price on application, so where a current UK list price could not be confirmed the row describes a specification class rather than naming a model. Your supplier quote is what the agreement is written against.

Recycling balers generally qualify as plant and machinery for capital allowances, so a business can typically set some or all of the cost against taxable profits through the Annual Investment Allowance or other first-year reliefs, subject to your total qualifying spend for the year. Confirm current treatment with your accountant before finalising the finance structure.
The typical buyer generates significant volumes of a single recyclable material, most commonly cardboard, but also plastic film, foam or textiles, and wants to compress it into dense, uniform bales rather than storing it loose. This reduces the space taken up by recyclable waste and the frequency of collections, and in some cases the baled material can be sold to a recycling merchant, generating a modest income rather than a cost, though the price paid for baled material varies with commodity markets and shouldn't be assumed as a fixed return. Vertical balers suit lower volumes and tighter spaces, while horizontal balers handle higher throughput continuously and suit larger operations.
Some specialist lenders consider businesses with imperfect credit histories. You may need a larger deposit or personal guarantee, but options may be available. Fundably may use a soft credit check for matching, which does not affect your credit score. A hard check may happen if you choose to proceed with a lender.
