Doulton Bridging Finance works with specialist lenders experienced in the waste sector and familiar with the operating economics of waste collection and recycling operations.

Hookloader - demountable body system for multiple skip/container sizes

Tipper/bulker - for recyclable materials in bulk

Doulton Bridging Finance compares specialist HGV lenders alongside any manufacturer captive finance offers on waste sector vehicles. We understand that waste and recycling operations often have contract-based revenue streams that support asset finance applications.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Can I finance refuse collection vehicles for a local authority tender?

Yes. Where a business has secured a local authority waste collection contract, this provides strong evidence of future revenue that lenders can factor into their assessment. This can significantly improve finance terms.

What is a Waste Carrier licence and when is it needed?

A Waste Carrier licence (from the Environment Agency) is required to transport controlled waste - most commercial and industrial waste. It is not required for carrying your own waste. This is separate from the Operator's Licence for the vehicle.

Can I finance a street sweeper?

Yes. Street sweepers are specialist assets financed by HGV asset finance lenders familiar with municipal vehicles. Rates and terms are similar to other specialist body types.
