Waste Baler Hire

There are many different types of baling machines. Each one compresses recyclable waste into solid bales, but some may suit your business better than others, depending on the kind and amount of waste you generate. Common types, the general sizes, and capacities of baling machines include:

• Mill size waste balers: these large balers are big, fully automatic, industrial balers. Often used to compress cardboard and plastic and deal with a high capacity that creates bales between 300kg and 500kg. Mill size waste balers are best for businesses that produce high volumes of waste.
• Single ram closed door balers: ideal for corrugated card, paper trim, and confidential waste. These are smaller than mill-size waste balers but still have a high capacity. They can compact other materials too.
• Multi-material closed door balers these balers are often used by businesses producing a medium volume of waste. They can process a wide variety of materials, including plastics, metal cans, and textiles.

The main benefits of using baler machines in your business are:

• Reduction in waste volume – the main benefit of a baler machine is to significantly reduce the volume of waste. For example, balers can reduce the volume of cardboard by 90%. This saves space and time for businesses that produce high volumes of compactable waste, making it easier to manage for efficient storage.
• Efficient waste management – using a baler helps businesses separate waste types effectively, such as cardboard, paper, plastic, and some metals. This reduces the chance of contamination during waste storage onsite and ensures as much as possible is recycled.
• Cheaper storage and collection costs – reducing the volume of waste means you need less storage space and can keep it onsite for longer. There’s no need for skip hire or lots of bins and big containers, which can be more expensive. In turn, you can arrange less frequent waste collections to make further savings.
• Improved workplace safety – as baled waste takes up less space it reduces the risk of accidents from rubbish piling up on your site. Overflowing bins, heaps of cardboard, and excess rubbish can create a health hazard with the risk of falling on workers. Balers are fitted with safety features and should only be worked by trained operatives too.
• Environmental benefits – using a baler separates your rubbish effectively, ensuring as much as possible is recycled. This reduces the amount of waste sent to landfill and means you pay less landfill tax. With fewer waste collections needed for baled waste compared to using skips, bins, and other containers, less fuel is required, and carbon emissions released, for your waste management.

Waste baler hire costs depend on the machine type and size, rental period, location, delivery or installation requirements and any servicing included in the agreement. Clean, separated recyclable bales may qualify for rebates depending on the material, quality, weight and market conditions.

One-off bale collections may be available for businesses that already have recyclable bales after a clearance, seasonal increase or temporary production run.
