Used Recycling Machinery For Sale: Buying and Selling Waste & Recycling Equipment With Machines On The Market
Published:
Whether you run a waste transfer station, a metal recycling yard, a quarry or a biomass operation, the machinery you rely on is a major investment. Finding the right used shredder, baler or screener, at the right price, from someone who understands the equipment, can make or break a project.
That's exactly what Machines On The Market does. Based in Stockport, we connect buyers and sellers of professional waste and recycling machinery across the UK, Europe and worldwide, with full export services available.
What is Machines On The Market?
Machines On The Market is a specialist marketplace and brokerage for used and new waste and recycling equipment, crushing and screening plant, construction and material handling machinery, and forestry and arb equipment.
We work with recyclers, waste management companies, MRF operators, scrap metal yards, demolition contractors, quarries, wood and biomass processors, and plant dealers. Some are looking for their next machine, and others have equipment they no longer need.
Every machine we list comes with clear photos, a proper specification and, where possible, a price, so buyers can make decisions quickly and sellers reach serious buyers.
Used recycling machinery we buy and sell
Our stock changes constantly, but we regularly handle:
Shredders
Twin shaft and single shaft shredders, slow speed and high speed, both static and mobile. From pre-shredders for waste-derived fuel (RDF and SRF) to industrial tyre shredders.
Balers and compactors
Balers for cardboard, paper and plastics, plus ferrous and non-ferrous metal balers, including car balers.
Trommels and screeners
Trommel screens, star screens and 3-way split screeners for compost, topsoil, aggregates, C&D waste and green waste.
Separation equipment
Eddy current separators, magnets, overband magnets, air separators, windshifters, de-stoners and picking stations, the kit that turns mixed waste into valuable, saleable materials.
Size reduction
Granulators, hammer mills, shears, crushers and horizontal grinders, including Panizzolo hammer mills and shredders.
Complete recycling plants
Full processing lines, from feeders and conveyors through to separation and baling. Buying or selling a complete plant as one package can save months compared with doing it machine by machine.
Construction, material handling and forestry
Material handlers, wheel loaders, excavators, telehandlers, wood chippers and forestry shredders.

Buying used recycling equipment: why it makes sense
New recycling machinery can carry long lead times and a hefty price tag. A well-maintained used machine can:
- Get you running sooner, often in weeks rather than months
- Cost a fraction of the new price, protecting your cash flow
- Let you trial a new process or material stream without a huge capital outlay
- Give you a backup machine to cover breakdowns and keep your site running
We describe every machine honestly, with hours, condition, specifications and photos, and we're always happy to arrange viewings or send videos of machines running.
Selling your waste or recycling machinery
Upgrading your plant? Closing a site? Got a machine sitting idle in the yard? Unused equipment loses value every month it stands still.
Machines On The Market puts your machine in front of serious buyers across the UK, Europe and worldwide. Because we specialise in recycling and waste equipment, we know who's looking for what, and we know what specialist machinery is really worth.
To get a valuation, send us:
