When our customers can only purchase either a baler or a compactor, they have typically chosen a recycling compactor over a baler because there is less labor required to run and maintain the machine, and because it can be positioned outside. Compactors work well with household garbage, too, whereas cardboard balers are only useful for one kind of material. One drawback to a compactor is their increased handling costs due to a smaller amount of material being generated compared to the yield of a baler.

We carry several different types of recycling compactors:

• Self-contained compactors
• Apartment compactors
• Stationary compactors
• Specialty compactors
