Transform Your Business: Managing Bulky Cardboard Waste Efficiently

Is your business inundated with large, bulky cardboard waste like cardboard pallets and awkward boxes that take up space and offer little in return? Managing such waste can be a logistical nightmare, consuming time, space, and money.

Many businesses underestimate the cost of disposing of their cardboard waste. From filling articulated trailers and 40-yard skips to hiring dustcarts and paying thousands of labour hours annually, these expenses can add up without you realising. One company Compact & Bale worked with was spending nearly £900 per tonne on disposal costs—until they discovered a better way.

A cardboard box baler can be revolutionary for businesses overwhelmed by bulky waste. These machines compress awkward and costly cardboard into compact, easy-to-handle bales. Our patented balers handle everything from dock-loaded waste to material from bin tippers and tip skips. They operate fully automatically, producing 500kg+ bales that are ready for recycling.

Not only do these bales reduce your waste management costs, but they’re also a valuable commodity. Cardboard is a highly sought-after secondary raw material for producing new cardboard. Its price on the world market fluctuates, but recycling centres are always interested in purchasing it. With a baler, you’re no longer just paying to get rid of waste—you’re generating income from it. We are happy to buy baled cardboard from partners who’ve invested in baling technology – in this sense, with the option to buy outright or hire a baler for a set amount of time, selling cardboard waste has never been easier!

Imagine this: if your business generates £10,000 in savings by selling baled cardboard and reducing waste disposal costs, it’s equivalent to securing a £100,000 order—without the extra work. If your profit margins are tight, every pound saved directly strengthens your bottom line. By automating waste processing, you’re not just saving money—you’re streamlining operations, freeing up labour, and creating a more sustainable system.

But why recycle cardboard in the first place? Recycling cardboard offers significant environmental and financial benefits, especially where large corporates are concerned. For one, recycling one tonne of cardboard saves around 17 trees and reduces reliance on virgin materials. Cardboard fibres can be reused multiple times, making it a highly sustainable choice. Baled cardboard is also easier and cheaper to store, transport, and process compared to loose waste.
