Balers vs. Compactors

by Global Trash Solutions

You have two general options when it comes to reducing your waste management expenses: balers and compactors. Each one of these offers its own benefits depending on the type of waste your business generates. It is important to evaluate whether a baler, a compactor, or both would be the most advantageous for cutting your waste management costs.

Balers

Balers are exactly what they sound like—they are machines used to compact and bale recyclables, including plastics, paper, aluminum, and cardboard. Businesses benefit from balers because they allow them to create a new revenue stream by selling baled recycled materials to others that purchase these materials.

Compactors

Compactors are also exactly what they sound like—they are machines that compact waste materials. Businesses benefit from compactors because they can compact a large volume of waster down into a single bag. As a result, they do not fill up their dumpsters as fast, and they reduce the number of pickups by waste haulers.
