Paper Balers
Paper baler rental
Streamline your waste management by saving space and improving storage with a paper baler. This machine compacts loose paper into a dense bale that reduces its volume and makes it simpler to store, transport, and recycle. It can be more efficient and cost-effective for businesses that create high volumes of waste paper than using bins and other containers.
Paper packaging, bags, shredded paper, and old newspaper are just some of the items you can put in a baler to condense before it’s sent for recycling. Using a paper baler also offers the potential to make money from paper recycling rebates, where possible, if you produce a high enough volume.
Our paper baler rental services mean we can provide a wide range of machines in various sizes to suit the volume of waste paper your business produces and the available space. Call 0800 211 8390 or contact us online today for your free quote to hire a paper baler anywhere in the UK.

Paper Waste
Waste paper balers
Any type of clean and dry waste paper can be put in a dedicated paper baler machine. It works like any other baler. The waste paper is loaded into the chamber before a powerful hydraulic press compresses the loose paper into a tight bale of dimensions based on the specific machine.
An automatic paper baler will tie the bale before ejecting it, while a semi-automatic paper baler ejects it and requires manual tying. This paper bale can then be moved easily and stored or stacked up before it’s collected and transported to a paper mill or recycling centre.
Use a waste paper baler for:
- Newspaper
- Magazines
- Paper bags
- Shredded paper
- Packaging
- Envelopes
Horizontal and vertical paper balers
There are various shapes, sizes, and types of paper balers. These elements can affect which machines suit the specific requirements of your business.
Fully automatic paper balers condense the loose paper, tie the bales, and eject them, so all you have to do is move them for storage with a forklift or pallet truck (depending on their size). Semi-automatic paper bales compress the materials but eject a bale that needs strapping manually.
The other main consideration is your available floor space and the volume of waste paper you produce regularly. This can affect the size of the paper baling machine that’s best and whether you should rent a horizontal or vertical paper baler:
- Horizontal paper balers – these big balers suit businesses that generate high volumes of waste paper regularly and have plenty of floor space available. Manufacturers, factories, and warehouses often use horizontal paper balers. Many have a conveyor for loading, and they produce the largest paper bales.
- Vertical paper balers – companies that create enough waste paper for a baler but not on an industrial scale, or have limited space, are normally better with a vertical paper baler. These stand tall rather than long, so they require less room. A hydraulic ram applies pressure downwards to compress the paper to form a bale. Retailers, distributors, and even offices are more likely to use a vertical paper baler.
Benefits of a paper baler machine
A paper baling machine brings many benefits to businesses that produce lots of waste paper. It can save space, time, effort, and money for your organisation while ensuring as much paper as possible is recycled. These are the main benefits of hiring a paper baler machine for your business:
- Minimise waste storage – paper balers condense loose waste paper, and some can cut the volume of waste by up to 90% in certain cases. This saves space to store the waste, and paper bales can be stacked for even more efficient storage, especially compared to using numerous paper bins or containers.
- Reduce waste collection costs – using a paper baler machine should mean you require less frequent collections, which can cut your commercial waste management costs.
- Fewer emissions – less frequent collections mean fewer trips to remove waste paper from your business, which should reduce the associated carbon emissions.
- Improve recycling – baling paper helps minimise the risk of contamination, with only clean and dry paper materials placed in a paper baling machine. Bales are easier to process and recycle at some paper mills, too.
- Access paper recycling rebates – some paper bales can be sold to recyclers for a rebate, depending on the size, volume, and current market conditions. This can be incredibly cost-effective and financially advantageous for your company.
