Do I need a baler?
When performing waste assessments, one of the most common questions we are asked is:
Why do I need a baler?
There are a number of reasons, but one of the most important reasons for businesses is ‘money’. The bottom line is that a baler makes your waste more valuable. Waste that is not baled like:
Cardboard & Paper
Pallet wrap
Bulk bags
Plastic material bags
cannot realise its true value as any recycling company collecting is is essentially transporting a large amount of fresh air. The consensus within the recycling industry is that recyclers would rather pay businesses to collect baled waste than they would collect loose waste free of charge.
THE ADVANTAGES OF A BALER.
There are many advantages to having a baler. These include:
Rebates – baled materials can earn rebates for companies that loose ones can’t
To maximise space – a baler can compact large amounts of material into one bale. Balers come in all shapes & sizes but the most common produce bales ranging from 60 – 500kg in size
To reduce waste disposal costs – companies are regularly paying to have valuable materials removed & they are paying for skips when much of the material can be baled & space can be saved
To reduce guilt – the business is taking a positive stance to recycle & everyone can do their bit to ensure that materials are reused
To gain valuable recycling credentials & clients - many of our clients use their recycling credentials to win clients & green accreditations that help them generate business at a higher level
in answer to the question “Why do I need a baler?”. If you are producing waste that can generate a value from recycling companies in any volume, there are many good answers & the question should be “Why not?”
