Determining when your business or warehouse is in need of a baler can be easily determined by couple of simple calculations. You
will need to determine a few variables.. In most cases, reducing or eliminating a trash haul
can often save thousands of dollars per month. Once you reduce or remove the cost of a haul, baled material becomes a
revenue. If reducing hauls, and creating a new revenue stream together can pay for a baler in a timely manner, Purchasing a baler
can be justified. Cardboard recycling is the most common item to be recycled for most businesses, other items may include Shrink Wrap, Paper
and many other items that may be unique to your facility.
-
Determine what your cost is to Dispose your recycling or trash per month.
-
Determine the amount of recyclables that are in your trash, preferably a percentage.
-
Determine how many cubic yards of Waste / Recyclables you create in a month.
An example of a customers generation is as follows:
- Cost of Haul: $90 per week = $360 per month.
- Percentage of Recyclables: 100% reclaimed, Cardboard.
- Volume Generated: 2 - 6 Yard Containers, Dumped twice Weekly = 96 Yards per Month.
Reduced Trash Haul:
$360.00 Per Month x 100% Recovery = $360.00 per month Savings.
Recycling Generation:
96 Cubic Yards of Cardboard = 3.12 Tons Material
3.12 Tons OCC @ $50.00 per Ton = $156.00 per month Revenue.
$360.00 + $156.00 = $516.00 Per Month Savings ($6,192.00 Yearly Savings).
In the above example, purchasing a baler (Price varies by model, and age) can be cost effective.
A baler may take 1 to 2 years to pay off, but will provide years of savings over the life of the unit.
