Hire food waste collection vehicles. Short or long-term rental.
Over the past 12 months, the demand for food waste vehicles has surged due to changes in legislation. Councils are now required to collect food waste separately, emphasizing the need for suitable vehicles. Earlier this year, DEFRA indicated a potential ‘transitional’ rollout of food waste collections. It’s crucial to have food waste collection vehicles that can handle the distance of the collection rounds, securely transport the payload, and prevent waste spillage.
At NRG Riverside, we offer a range of food waste vehicle hire solutions that meet these requirements. Our fleet includes the 7.5 tonne Terberg Orus 6 and Hillend Engineering Micro 5 and 11 tonne Isuzu Terberg Orus 7 and Hillend Engineering Micro XHD 7m, featuring a steel body that is entirely leakproof. This ensures that the waste is contained during transportation. Additionally, we stock the 7.5 tonne Isuzu Terberg PBUV, which has a plastic body equivalent, allowing for a higher payload capacity while maintaining efficient waste containment.
