To help find a 60" Vertical Baler that will best satisfy your selection criteria, be sure to evaluate the amount of materials that you will be baling, as well as the quality of the materials. In order to get a rough idea of the volume of recyclable materials that are being generated, just refer to some of the guidelines that are detailed in our Article called Balers and Recycling. The volume of materials, the quality, and the bale weight criteria (or bale density criteria) will help you pinpoint the best baler for your recycling program. For example, if your weekly objective is to bale a few 1,000 pound bales of cardboard, then you can easily pinpoint which cardboard baler is configured best to meet this criteria. The more criteria that are known, the more likely it is that the baler will perform correctly for its intended use. Regardless of the overall Recycling Equipment that is decided upon, the selection of a baler or balers will be a key ingredient towards building a successful recycling program.
Whether you are implementing a
Cardboard Recycling
program, or recycling Waste Paper, Newsprint, Magazine, PET plastic, Aluminum
Cans, Steel Cans, Radiators, Aluminum Siding, Painted Sheet Metal,
Polyurethane Foam, Carpet Salvage, Shrink Wrap, Styrofoam, Stainless Steel,

that should be considered
Balers and Recycling Equipment can help:
- Generate much higher revenues from Recycling Programs
- Reduce waste processing and disposal costs
- Streamline overall waste processing operations
- Reduce fire hazards and improve overall workplace safety & neatness
