My company generates a lot of cardboard, what’s the best way to recycle cardboard?
A. – You can use either a compactor or a baler. If you are generating less than 15 tons of cardboard per week a horizontal compactor with detachable container or a vertical baler might be best. The criteria for choosing between the two depends on whether or not you have space for the compactor outside or baler inside. The baler is more labor intensive but you may receive a better return on baled corrugated vice compacted. Compactors are easier to use, there is no need to break down boxes to fit inside bale chamber and compacted corrugated will be outside in the container – no need to store bales out of the weather. You will need to investigate which system offers you the better return, taking into consideration the time and space each system requires.
