Family of Companies

UCC Recycling (UCCR) has over 35 years of combined plastic industry experience and was formed to optimize the collection, recovery and marketing of consumer and industrial waste in Mexico with a particular focus on all grades of plastic material. Headquartered in Nogales, Mexico UCCR is quickly becoming a leader in recycling plastic material in Mexico by connecting the economic recovery of plastic material to many new emerging markets that can repurpose the recycled material.

Equipment Financing

We understand that capital is a critical resource for your business. While the right recycling equipment can reduce labor costs and boost recycling revenue, the upfront investment can be prohibitive, especially when your capital is needed to grow your core operations. Our equipment financing program provides flexible options, allowing you to finance your recycling equipment over time using the revenue generated from your recovered materials. We can help you obtain a variety of equipment for your recycling program, including compactors, balers, shredders, dumpsters, recycling bins and conveyors.
