Recycling Balers

The advantages of renting your recycling baler include:

• Lower up-front investment with no need for capital expenditure.
• Installation, maintenance, and repairs all included with baler rental contract.
• Possible tax advantages as renting can be considered an operational expense on your corporate taxes. (Check with your accountant or tax professional for this benefit because situations and state laws vary)

The advantages of purchasing your recycling baler are:

• No monthly rental rate.
• You own the baler, so you have greater control.
• Easier than renting as there are no legal requirements you are held to by your baler rental provider.
• Like renting, there may be specific tax advantages that are unique to owning your baler machine such as recycling equipment being tax deductible. (Check with your accountant or tax professional for this benefit because situations and state laws vary)

The cost of a recycling baler machine is dependent upon several factors including:

• The type of baler machine (Vertical, Horizontal, ect.)
• The brand (Marathon, PTR, ect.)
• The size of the baler (72 inch vertical baler will cost more than a 60 inch vertical baler)
• The material you’re looking to bale (Cardboard is the most typical, but other materials like textiles may require additional modifications)
• If you’re renting or purchasing

The benefits of using a baler for recycling include:

• Reduced volume of waste in your containers
• Bales make for convenient storage of recyclable waste
• Rebates available as recyclers may pay you for your cardboard, plastic, textile, aluminum, and other non-ferrous scrap metal waste if it’s in bale form.
• Environmentally friendly as balers allow for greater volumes of materials to be recycled, contributing to a sustainable circular economy.

A Mill-Sized Bale is a bale of recyclable material (cardboard, plastic, aluminum, textiles, etc.) that is approximately 60″ wide x 30″ long x 42″ tall and 800-1,200 pounds. This is the bale size that recycling companies require for a rebate.
