Our waste balers cut waste handling, gives you more time for profitable work, and often saves thousands of hours and pounds each year
With a wide variety of waste balers available, Kenburn Waste Management meets virtually all demands for commercial waste handling. Engineered for safety and ease of use, our high-quality waste baling machines are optimised for efficiency, quiet operation, and minimal maintenance, ensuring minimal disruption to your work environment.
Waste balers serve as essential tools for compacting a wide range of waste materials, from cardboard recycling to paper, plastic recycling and more. By transforming waste into compact, recyclable blocks, our balers facilitate economical and easy collection. They also significantly reduce the space, costs, and time associated with effective and responsible waste disposal, thereby delivering tangible savings to your business.
Some of our machines work best with specific types of materials. Others by level of usage, space requirements or size of bale. We have a waste baler to suit almost every application. Take a look at the specific types available below.

Types of Waste Balers
The right waste baler depends on what you’re baling, how much of it you produce and the space you have on site.
Vertical balers are the compact, upright option. Small models produce manageable bales of 30 to 60kg, while our medium and large mill-size machines press bales of up to 600kg, depending on the material. They suit most sites where cardboard or plastic builds up steadily and floor space is tight.
Horizontal balers are built for volume. With bale weights from 250kg to 700kg, horizontally mounted rams and the option of conveyor feeding and full automation, they’re the right choice for operations with high, continuous waste throughput.
The Right Waste Baler for Your Business
Whether you need a compact baler for a stockroom or a fully automated system for a busy production site, Kenburn will match you to the right machine, new or refurbished, to buy, hire or lease.
The payback is practical: less floor space lost to waste, fewer collections, lower disposal bills and cleaner recycling, often with a rebate on your baled material. We’ve supplied and serviced waste machinery since 1987, with more than 4,000 machines installed across the UK and our own engineers behind every one.

Waste Balers Working for Businesses Like Yours
Stockeld Park, North Yorkshire
The award-winning family attraction was paying to skip large volumes of cardboard from its shop and kitchen. We installed a Europress Balex 10, which now presses that cardboard into 80kg bales for recycling, turning a disposal cost into revenue, backed by an extended two-year parts and labour warranty.
Joe Graham & Son, Bedfordshire
Bedfordshire's largest independent electrical retailer was spending heavily on skips for cardboard and polythene packaging. A Kenburn mill-size baler cut their skip costs significantly, keeps the warehouse tidy and diverts the lot from landfill into recycling.
Decathlon, Stockport
The world's largest sports retailer needed to replace its baling equipment. We supplied a Bramidan mill-size baler whose cross-chamber compaction produces small, very heavy bales: more cardboard per vehicle, lower transport costs and better revenue per tonne. Decathlon later reordered the same model, choosing Kenburn over competing suppliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
A waste baler compresses recyclable waste, most commonly cardboard, plastic film or paper, into dense, tied bales. Baled waste takes up a fraction of the space of loose waste, costs far less to have collected, and clean bales are worth money to recyclers, so many businesses earn a rebate on what used to be a cost.
A baler produces tied bales of a single material, ideal if you want rebates for clean cardboard or plastic. A compactor compresses waste into a container, better for mixed or general waste at high volume. If you’re unsure, tell us what your waste stream looks like and we’ll tell you straight. We supply both.
It depends on bale size, automation level and whether you buy new, buy refurbished, or hire. Refurbished machines and rental bring the entry cost right down, and most businesses find the saving on collections offsets the cost quickly. Tell us your waste volumes and we’ll price the machine they justify.
Yes. We offer short-term rental as well as longer-term hire and finance, useful for seasonal peaks, trial periods or spreading the cost. Rental includes support from our own service team.
Well-maintained balers routinely run for many years. Several of our customers, including Decathlon, have reordered the same model after years of reliable service. Lifespan depends on usage and servicing, which is why every machine we supply is backed by our own engineers.
