Customer Reviews
QCR are trusted by thousands of customers across the UK to supply them with high quality machines. We love finding out how our range of Recyclin
“The bin press, baler and glass crusher are saving the business money on waste, we should have done it years ago! I’m happy and the staff are happy, and the accountant is happy with all 3 machines especially as they are on a fully maintained rental" - AH, Pub Owner from Yorkshire
“QCR have been great to work with, on the day the baler installation was quick and carried out by very friendly staff, a follow up visit to make sure everything was in order was exceptional service. The baler makes our plastic recycling far more efficient, from storage to collection and it’s a story we are pushing out to our customers” - PB, UK Operations Manager of an International Manufacturing Business
"We send for recycling around 70 x bales a year (which I think equates to around 10 tonnes of material) of plastic and cardboard. This makes a huge impact on what we put in general waste and therefore helps massively with the cost on that side. I imagine if we still binned the material and didn’t recycle it, we would have the cost of an additional 18 x skips to empty a year, which would be around £2500 extra" - JW, Food Manufacturer in Somerset
