The dark nights are upon us, and we’ve hit that time of year when the de-icer has become the must have accessory – but this also means that ‘the most wonderful time of the year’ is quickly approaching!
With this in mind – and before we get too caught up in turkey, tinsel and trees – we wanted to share some key dates with our clients, partners and suppliers:

We always knew 2017 would be momentous for Riverside – after all it was the year we marked our 20th anniversary. But if we look back on the last 12 months there have been a number of highlights we’ve enjoyed as a team.

Plastic recycling is not a new subject for Riverside. We’ve been supplying plastic balers to MRFs, waste handlers, manufacturers, logistics firms and more, for the past 20 years.

Techbuyer – a global leader in the purchase, refurbishment and sale of IT equipment – has recently invested in a waste baler from Riverside Waste Machinery, in an effort to continually reduce the amount of waste material it sends to landfill.
The RWM500 mill size machine supplied by the Boroughbridge-based provider is now being used to bale cardboard, which is then recycled.

It’s one thing us telling people how capable our balers are. It’s another thing when our clients share waste and recycling stories that evidence our bold claims. But it’s a different thing altogether when we let companies try out a baler for themselves!
For many people, the proof is in the pudding. So, we no longer simply expect potential customers to take our word for it.
Whether you’d like to think it’s because of the country’s growing recycling prowess or reputation for engineering excellence, there can be no disputing the fact that demand for UK waste balers is hotting up.
