Recycling Balers
A baler for recycling saves space, time, and money for your business when it comes to managing loose trash. Organizations that regularly produce high volumes of common waste types such as cardboard, paper, plastic, aluminum, and textiles can benefit from a recycling baler machine on their site.
Balers are similar to compactors as they reduce the volume of garbage, but they handle different materials. Balers for recycling compress recyclable materials for easier storage, transportation, and processing. Compactors are mostly used for dry and wet solid waste that might be sent to landfill or for processing elsewhere.
At Business Waste, we can provide a wide range of recycling balers for companies that want to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of their waste management. Recycling baler rental is possible for businesses of various sizes and industries. Find out more and get a free quote to rent a baler today – call 888 584 2118 or contact us online.

Industrial balers
An industrial baler makes managing trash easier for businesses in many sectors. Waste materials are separated into their individual streams, such as cardboard, aluminum, and types of plastic. They’re then fed into the industrial baler, where they’re squashed together and compressed to produce a large bale that’s then bound together.
Using a commercial baler saves space for organizations that create lots of loose and dry recyclable garbage. Compared to having lots of dumpsters on site and paying for frequent collections, you can feed suitable waste materials into a baler to form compact bales. These are easier to store, remove, and transport.
Industrial balers are commonly used in sectors like manufacturing, packaging, retail, logistics, hospitality, and food services. Many other businesses can use and benefit from a commercial baler as long as there’s enough space on site and easy access. Various types and sizes are available to suit companies of all sizes and sectors.
Waste baler sizes
Sizes of waste balers and the bales they produce vary greatly depending on the manufacturer of the baling machine, what materials they process, and their dimensions. Bigger trash balers can manage higher volumes of trash, while small balers are ideal if space is limited or lower amounts of recyclables need compressing.
The size of a baler can also affect its compaction force and feeding opening. Horizontal balers are some of the largest options, while vertical balers require less floor space, but they may be taller and need plenty of ceiling room. Conducting a waste audit first is a good way to determine the best-sized baler for your business.
Contact us for more information about waste baler sizes and let us know how much space you have and we can advise on suitable machines. These are some examples of the sizes of small, medium, and large waste balers available to rent:
- Mini balers – these are some of the smallest vertical balers that have doors like a refrigerator. They create bales that are around 15 cubic feet in size and weigh up to 175 pounds. Often used for low volumes of cardboard, plastic, paper, and aluminum.
- Small balers – an average small baler is 85 inches tall, 45 inches long, and 30 inches wide. These are vertical balers that can weigh around 900lbs
- Medium balers – standard medium waste balers are around 100 inches tall, 70 inches long, and 50 inches wide. These are a good option for businesses that produce lots of dry loose recyclables and have space for a baler.
- Large balers – a large baler might be up to 130 inches tall, 80 inches long, and 60 inches wide, while weighing 5,400lbs. They require plenty of space but can process high volumes of recyclables.
- Vertical balers – lower dimensions of an average medium-sized vertical baler can be around 70” x 43” x 100” (length x width x height). Big vertical balers can produce bales that weigh around 1,300lbs.
- Horizontal balers – some of the largest balers are types of horizontal balers. This includes two-ram balers that can produce bales weighing up to 1,750lbs. The exact size depends on the shape and specifications of the horizontal baler.
- Mill size balers – a standard mill size bale produces bales that are 60″ x 30 to 51″ x 30″. They can vary in dimensions, which affects the weight of bales, but generally mill size balers create bales that weigh between 800 and 1,000 pounds. These have a uniform size and density that makes storage and transportation easier.
Types of waste balers
Certain baler machines are better designed to process specific recyclable materials. It’s important that you use a waste baler suitable for the trash streams your business produces. Some balers can manage more than one waste material, such as processing paper and cardboard (to create individual bales).
If your business creates high volumes of loose recyclables, then you may need more than one baler. We can advise on the best sizes and types of waste balers for your operations. Find the right type of waste baler for your organization and more information about each baling machine:
