Surrey-based waste and recycling company Hawkins & Scott has liveried its new RediTruck with a picture of the Hulk and the words ‘Smashing Recycling’ to encourage people to recycle more and to raise awareness. Hawkins & Scott diverts 99% of everything it collects away from landfill.

Grant Scott, Director, Hawkins & Scott said:

“Our focus for 2019 is to encourage people to recycle more. We all need to be more conscious of what we throw away and where it is going. Our new truck will certainly attract attention! “In the past we have bought direct from the manufacturers but the process can be very complicated, dealing with two different companies and deciding what chassis, body and ancillary equipment."

"A friend who runs a waste company recommended I talk to RVS and they’ve been great. They have managed the whole process for me and delivered the exact specification of vehicle, in a matter of weeks. The vehicle looks great and operates very well. With RVS looking after it I hope it will stay that way for quite a few years.”

We are continuing to invest in our hire fleet with 10 brand-new Euro 6 refuse trucks joining us before the end of the year and another 15 vehicles on order for 2019.

*All available for short to long term hire, FORS compliant, fitted with camera systems, cyclist safety equipment and with options for bin-weighing on commercial refuse vehicles.

The largest independent fleet operator in the UK, Mick George Ltd, has taken delivery of two brand new RediTrucks on 3-year contract hire with full maintenance. The vehicles, both 26T DAF CF Olympus with BETA trade lifts were supplied liveried, and fitted with the PeoplePanel® side guard protection system and AMCS weighing system.

Abigail Johnson, Head of Commercial Waste, Mick George Ltd said: “RVS took only 7 weeks to deliver the vehicles, which is a great response time and much quicker than it would usually take to get the vehicles directly from the manufacturer. The preventative maintenance support package is great too.

RVS engineers visit our premises every 6 weeks to inspect and service the vehicles. We work our vehicles hard with up to 150 collections each day so it’s important they are well looked after to minimise service disruption.”

Social Media – another great way to stay in touch
