Currently cardboard and plastic is sought after material. Baling these types of waste is therefore cost-effective if you have large quantities.
Mill-sized Balers
If you have large quantities of cardboard and to make cardboard baling as viable as possible it is wise to opt for a mill-sized baler. This baler produces the bale size most sought-after by paper re-processors and therefore produces bales which command a higher price. Currently this price is £25.00 per tonne collected from your site (the collection vehicle would have an onboard forklift to enable easy collection).
We are often able to broker the cardboard for mill-sized bales which is normally based on us collecting 40 bales per visit. Each three months we would raise a statement indicating the tonneage collected. Your company would then raise an invoice to us for the due amount. The price for cardboard is currently quite low. It is expected to rise rather than fall further.

Baling twine & steel baling wire are always in stock as are plastic rotary compactor sacks.
Mill-sized bales must be baled with four wire ties. Baling wire costs approximately £60 per 25kg pack, the exact price dependent on the quantity ordered. A 25kg pack will be enough for approximately 19 bales.
