Frequently asked questions
Can CafeCrush Reverse Vending be used with coffee cups?
Yes. These machines will compact any single-use coffee cup to a fraction of its size, and the crushed cups are still able to be recycled in the same way as any other coffee cups. We find that a CafeCrush machine is a very good way to get a pure waste stream of coffee cups with minimal contamination ready for recycling.
How many machines do I need for cans, bottles & cups?
To recycle paper coffee cups, aluminium cans & PET plastic bottles, two machines will usually be sufficient; one for cups & one for bottles & cans. Most waste brokers will accept bottles & cans in the same waste stream and will segregate the waste at their sorting facility. However, you will have to check this with your own waste broker to confirm their regulations.
Does CafeCrush Reverse Vending sort & segregate different materials or scan barcodes?
No. These machines are very simple in their design. Waste is inserted into the chute and passes through the compactor into a waste sack below. The machine then offers an incentive ticket which can be customised to your requirements. There are many machines available with far more complicated mechanism, designed for the implementation of a Deposit Return Scheme. Our CafeCrush machines are simply designed to incentivise recycling & compact cups.
Can I trial a CafeCrush Reverse Vending machine?
We don’t offer trials of these machines as each machine has its own graphics & ticket incentive. Therefore, it’s not commercially viable for us to trial a machine as it cannot be used again once it’s been set up for your requirements.
Can I lease a CafeCrush Reverse Vending machine?
We work with external equipment leasing companies to provide you with leasing options or you can arrange your own financing.
What does the CafeCrush Reverse Vending machine service & maintenance package include?
The package lasts 12 months & includes 1 full annual on-site service, cover for machine breakdown or errors due to a manufacturing fault, not misuse or neglect, and the cost of any parts & labour incurred by machine maintenance or repairs.
