Equipment range
Five equipment categories, specified around your site
Effective waste handling starts with understanding how your site operates. By considering the materials you process, expected throughput and available space, we specify equipment that’s designed around your operation rather than asking your operation to adapt to the equipment.
From balers and compactors to conveyors, bin lifts and other ancillary equipment, every solution is selected to improve the way waste moves through your site. Whether your priority is reducing collection costs, saving space, improving recycling rates or creating a safer working environment, we help you choose equipment that delivers long-term operational value.
Waste Compactors
Portable and static compaction for containing large volumes of dry waste and recyclables in less space.
Recycling Balers
Balers in a range of sizes and specifications, pressing cardboard, plastics and paper into handleable bales.
Ancillary Equipment
Supporting units and containers, from internal recycling bins to conveyors, bin lifts and densifiers.
Consumables
Wire, twine, sacks, signage and PPE to keep installed equipment operating safely and efficiently.
Maintenance & Workshop
Installation, routine maintenance, repairs, refurbishment and training delivered by EcoTec engineers.

Equipment range
A specification process built on how your site operates
01
Understand the waste stream
Material types, contamination, density and how they vary through the week.
02
Assess volume and site requirements
Throughput, peak periods, available footprint, access and vehicle movements.
03
Specify the appropriate equipment
Configuration, power supply, container compatibility and operator interface.
04
Support installation and operation
Delivery, commissioning, training and ongoing maintenance arrangements.
sectors
Different operations, different material realities
01
Construction & Infrastructure
Mixed material streams, changing site conditions and constrained compounds across the programme.
02
FM & Property
Multi-site estates with shared waste facilities and varied tenant requirements.
03
Hospitality, Leisure & Public Sector
Public-facing sites where back-of-house space is limited and presentation matters.
04
Housebuilding
Phased developments with rotating compounds and repeatable material streams.
05
Manufacturing, Transport & Logistics
Continuous production and high packaging volumes with fixed operating routines.
06
Retail & Wholesale
Cardboard and film handling in busy service yards and constrained stockrooms.
Outcomes
What the right equipment can support
Results depend on material, throughput and how equipment is used. The following outcomes are what well-specified equipment is designed to support.
01
Reduced waste volume
Compaction and baling are designed to reduce the space material occupies on site.
02
Fewer collections
Denser loads can help reduce the number of vehicle movements required.
03
Better site organisation
Contained material supports tidier yards and clearer routes.
04
Improved material handling
Consistent processing at source can simplify downstream handling.
05
Greater recycling efficiency
Separating and baling at source supports cleaner material streams.
06
More efficient use of space
Equipment can be specified around the footprint a site actually has.
Sustainability
Efficiency is the most credible form of sustainability
Our contribution is practical: equipment that reduces the volume material occupies, supports cleaner separation at source and helps sites move material with fewer vehicle journeys.
Volume before transport
Reducing volume on site is designed to lower the number of collections a site needs.
Separation at source
Cleaner streams are easier to recover, so equipment is specified around the materials produced.
Longevity and maintenance
Servicing, refurbishment and parts support extend the working life of installed equipment.
Case studies
Equipment in operation
Recent installations across sectors. Client details and figures are shown as placeholders until verified.
Manufacturing Transport & Logistics
Improving cardboard handling at a regional distribution centre
A review of dock-side material handling led to a revised equipment specification for cardboard and film.
Hospitality Leisure & Public Sector
Releasing back-of-house space at a leisure venue
A constrained service corridor was reorganised around a small-footprint baler.
Housebuilding
A repeatable waste equipment standard across a housebuilding programme
A single equipment specification was applied across multiple developments in a region.
sheq
Safety, health, environment and quality
Equipment is only as good as the way it is installed, operated and maintained. Our SHEQ approach runs through specification, commissioning and ongoing support.
S
Safety
Guarding, isolation and safe operating procedures form part of every specification.
H
Health
Manual-handling and housekeeping considerations are addressed at design stage.
E
Environment
Containment, spillage control and material segregation on site.
Q
Quality
Documented installation, commissioning and maintenance records.
