Waste & Recycling Equipment Finance –
Your Questions Answered
When it comes to securing the right Waste & Recycling Equipment finance, having answers to common questions can make the process much easier. Whether you’re buying pre-owned gear, upgrading existing machinery, or looking for flexible repayment options, this FAQ section has you covered.
Still need a hand? A Finlease broker is just a call away—making waste and recycling equipment finance simple, stress-free, and tailored to your business.
What types of processing equipment can I finance?
You can finance a wide range of equipment, including compactors, balers, skip bins, trucks, cranes and more. If you’re unsure whether a specific item can be financed, just ask—chances are we can help.
What’s the difference between leasing and a chattel mortgage?
A lease lets you use the equipment while making regular payments, with the option to buy at the end. A chattel mortgage means you own the equipment from day one, using it as security for the loan. We’ll help you choose the right fit.
How fast can I get the finance approved?
Once we have all the required info, approvals can happen within 24–48 hours. We know time is critical in manufacturing – so we move quickly.
Can I get pre-approved before choosing the equipment?
Yes, pre-approval is a great way to understand your borrowing capacity before committing. It also puts you in a stronger position when negotiating with suppliers.
Are there tax benefits to financing processing equipment?
Yes – depending on your structure, you may be able to claim deductions for interest and depreciation. We recommend speaking with your accountant to understand how finance can work to your tax advantage.
Why choose Finlease over a bank?
We offer a seamless journey from application to approval, handling all the paperwork along the way. No lengthy waits for decisions – we manage the entire process, ensuring you receive packaging equipment finance that’s perfectly tailored to your needs.

Have been using Finlease for many years, particularly in cases where our bank is slow to move and overly bureaucratic. Finlease have proved to be agile and responsive. Nothing is too much trouble and they have treated this client with respect.

As a full-time owner-driver with a growing fleet of three trucks, I rarely have time for banks or meetings—if the trucks aren’t moving, we’re losing money. Most of my admin happens at night, so you know you’ve got the right finance team when they’re calling at 9:30pm or meeting you on the side of the road to sign paperwork.

Equipment failure in a business is a stressful time. Finlease made the entire process so easy. I knew I had called the right place from the moment they had answered the phone. We had another quote and the interest rate was daylight robbery. I called Finlease and was quoted so reasonably and so quickly.
