Waste Balers & Compactors for Public Sector & Local Authorities
Cleaner civic spaces, smoother operations and lower waste costs built for public sector environments.

Local authorities carry the responsibility for a wide range of public spaces such as council offices, libraries, civic amenity/recycling centres, and community hubs. These sites generate mixed waste from cardboard, plastics, bulky items, and household disposals. If unmanaged, this leads to unsightly waste build-up, higher collection costs, and operational inefficiencies.
Kenburn’s balers and compactors provide durable, efficient waste-management solutions for local authority settings. Whether processing cardboard from office deliveries with a Vertical Baler or compacting bulky community disposal waste with a Kenburn Select KS400 Static Compactor, our machines help councils keep environments clean, costs down, and services running smoothly.
Book a free on-site waste assessment and see how Kenburn can help your authority reduce collection frequency, improve recycling rates, and maintain safe civic spaces.

Absolutely great service.
We purchased a reconditioned cardboard baler and the machine has been completely overhauled with new electricals and components. Gordon and Jane have been excellent to deal with all the way through.
Now making money out of cardboard which we used to pay to dispose of. Win! Thanks for all your advice and help.

Was easy to contact business, I was given a few options and explanations of how each service would work so I could make a decision in an industry I didnt know much about. Very professional and friendly. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again. If you are a business that is getting rid of alot of waste I would recommend speaking to Kenburn for advice.
Ahmad D. Bozorgy
Our company has used Kenburn for over 10 years and I myself have been dealing with them for the last 5 years. They are very responsive, polite and caring about their customers. Their prices have been fair and I think competitive. The jobs they do have been professional and did not need repeating. I will continue having business with them.
