Example
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. See “Why Bale Your Recycling” for other great benefits to baling your recycling.

Why Bale Your Recycling?
Baling material is the industry standard in shipping recycled goods. Baling at the source of the waste generation, is the most efficient way to recycle and reduces carbon footprints.
If you have moderate to large volumes of a product that needs to be recycled, baling on site is the best way to handle your waste stream. Other solutions to recycle include compactors and loose containers, but products in this form will be sent to a recycling center where it will be baled.
