Asset Governance in Waste & Recycling
Waste management and recycling companies operate complex fleets, processing equipment, and site infrastructure across multiple locations. Asset governance is critical in a sector where equipment failure can cause regulatory non-compliance, contract penalties, and environmental incidents. Keeping an accurate register of vehicles, plant, and processing equipment supports HSE compliance, planned maintenance, insurance accuracy, and informed investment decisions.
Example Assets
| Asset | Approx. Value | Ownership | Location | Insurance Consideration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Refuse Collection Vehicles (RCVs) & Roll-on/off Trucks | £80,000–£250,000 | Fleet Manager / Operations Director | Routes, depots, maintenance | Fleet policy – chassis and bodywork must be individually registered |
| Material Recovery & Processing Equipment (Balers, Shredders) | £30,000–£500,000 | Site / Plant Manager | Fixed at MRF or transfer stations | Plant & machinery cover – downtime risk makes accurate valuation critical |
| Weighbridges & Site Infrastructure | £20,000–£150,000 | Site Manager | Fixed at waste sites | Plant or property cover – calibration certification records essential |
| Hookloaders, Skips & Containers | £500–£30,000 per unit | Operations Manager | Customer sites, depots, in transit | High-volume mobile assets – often unregistered individually |
| PPE, Safety Equipment & Welfare Facilities | £500–£10,000 | HSE Manager / Site Supervisor | Sites and with individuals | Rarely insured individually – but critical for compliance and audit |
