Balers for Recycling
Baler Use and Reference Guide (Vertical, Horizontal & Specialty Balers)

For recyclables, Waste Balers (or Recycling Balers) can not only help streamline waste processing routines related to labor and overall productivity but (since the recyclables are being removed from the waste stream) they can also eliminate a large amount of waste hauling requirements. Waste / Recycling Balers can be the driving force for huge reductions in waste processing and waste disposal requirements, which means quick paybacks that can be as little as one year or less. Some of the less obvious benefits are improved housekeeping, fire hazard reductions and better overall sanitation due to trash being contained and under  control.
