Testimonials
Charlotte Griffin
A fantastic company and an absolute pleasure to deal with.
The Jyates
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.

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.

FAQs (Waste Solutions for Cardboard)
A small vertical baler fits tight spaces, keeps areas clear, and handles lightweight cardboard efficiently.
Kenburn’s Commitment
Kenburn balers are trusted by UK retailers, warehouses and manufacturers to cut cardboard costs and keep sites efficient. From vertical units to automatic horizontals, our solutions reduce clutter and support recycling.
Financial Benefits
If your site is currently putting cardboard waste into a bin or a skip, as it’s loose material, you’ll be paying a higher than necessary cost for transport. If the cardboard is compacted using a baling machine then it becomes a ‘’win win’’ scenario as you’ll reduce your transport costs and may receive a revenue for materials you’re currently paying to have taken away.
