Having increased its recycling collections by 50%, Devon-based TQ Recycling has now expanded its vehicle fleet to cope with the workload, with the help of Refuse Vehicle Solutions (RVS).
TQ bought a used 7.5 tonne Isuzu NQR, with NTM K-Midi body and an 1100 trade bin lift, as well as a 2007 plate Dennis Elite 2 with Phoenix 2 body and Beta trade bin lift.
TQ Recycling managing director Jon Whiley states that both vehicles were sourced, serviced, MOTed, re-sprayed and delivered in under six weeks.
"We had heard great things about RVS and they are based in the South West, like us, which fits in with our 'buy local' ethos," he explains.
"Re-using vehicles in this way is in keeping with our philosophy of recycling," he continues. "The vehicles are immaculate and offer a far greater return on investment than buying new."
Whiley says that RVS was very helpful and he will go back to the company again for more vehicles during 2013.
