Waste balers and compactors are a great way for businesses to reduce their environmental impact, and save on waste disposal costs. This is because balers and compactors lower the volume of waste that needs to be put into landfill (which also lowers your Landfill Tax), and reduces the number of vehicles that travel to and from your premises to collect your waste.

Although waste balers and compactors are beneficial to businesses within a range of sectors, including retail, hospitality, education, manufacturing and health, knowing which waste baler to choose for your business can be a minefield. The baler you choose will be based on various factors, such as your sector, the amount of waste you produce, and how much free space you have available within your premises.

For help choosing the right baler for your sector and business type, check out our handy guide below…
