Cardboard balers and compactors: what to expect
If your business produces a lot of cardboard or plastic film, loose bins fill up fast. You end up paying for frequent lifts, bins overflowing in the yard and staff spending time flattening boxes. A baler compresses cardboard into dense, tidy bales that take a fraction of the space.
We supply balers and compactors to shops, supermarkets, warehouses, distribution centres and manufacturers across Ipswich and the A14 corridor. Equipment is installed, staff are shown how to use it safely, and we collect the bales or empty the compactor on a schedule.
For general waste, a compactor attached to a container can reduce the volume of waste several times over, which means far fewer collections. For cardboard, baled card is a valuable recyclable and, depending on market prices and volume, may earn a rebate.

Is a baler right for your business?
When it makes sense
If you are paying for several cardboard bin lifts a week, or bins regularly overflow, a baler is likely to save money and space.
Space and power
Vertical balers need a small floor area and a standard or three-phase power supply. Horizontal balers and compactors need more space and planning.
Safety and training
Balers are powerful machines. Staff must be trained, and equipment must be inspected regularly. We provide training and arrange inspections.
Recycling targets
Baling cardboard separately helps you meet Simpler Recycling requirements and gives you clear recycling figures for reporting. See waste audits.
