Why Should I Use a Cardboard Baler?
- Save Money – Reduce the number or size of DMR (dry mixed recyclable) bins or skips you pay to have collected by removing bulky cardboard from them and baling it instead. In effect turning your waste into a product in it's own right. In large quantities cardboard bales can even generate rebates for your business.
-
Save Time – No need for your team to spend time flattening boxes! Simply place the cardboard waste straight into the baler and let it do the flat packing for you. A baler can often be located closer to the source of the waste so time can be saved carrying materials out to bins - streamlining your waste recycling process.
-
Save Space – Reduce the amount of outside space taken up by bins. Our smallest Cardboard Recycling Machine has the same footprint as a filing cabinet but can condense approximately 2-3 of bins worth of waste. Even our larger cardboard waste balers don’t take up much more space than just 1 bin whilst still effectively handling large amounts of waste which would have otherwise quickly filled up your bins.
