Legislation requires that all company's must demonstrate they implement a good Pre-Treatment of Waste Programme. Basically, Pre-Treatment of Waste requires that you sort your waste before disposal. You should sort your waste and remove everything which can be recycled. The waste which is not recyclable can also be reduced in its volume and then sent to landfill. businesses are subject to ever-increasing taxes on volumes of waste going to landfill.For most businesses it will not be economical to have a Mill Size Baler. The charge of a Mill Size Baler is generally much higher than smaller waste compactors. For most company's a small to medium compactor will be enough. Normally, you will bale your cardboard and you can anticipate Complimentary Bale Collections at the very least. All bales which are less than Mill Size weight (400kg/600kg) are usually collected Free of Charge. The collectors will take the bales to a Trade Waste Station and they will receive money for it. Mill Size bales have a higher premium price because they can be transported more economically. The mill size ...
... bales are more compact and can be loaded into containers for transport overseas to recycling plants.If small bales are taken into a Trade Waste Station, the value is less, because the Waste Station will always re-bale the cardboard into Mill Size Bales. There is a cost for re-baling; the wire ties, the employment and the cost of the machinery. Consequently, Mill Size bales have a higher value coming into the Waste Station.There are specialist companies who trade in Mill Size Cardboard Bales. They will actually come to collect your Mill Size Bales Free of Charge and they will generally pay you a price per ton for your cargo. Customarily, there is a minimum quantity of Mill Size bales they will collect on each visit. This is to make transportation expenses most economical. Mostly, they will prefer to collect 10 to 20 tons of Mill Size Bales each time. By having a complete load the vehicles will be on the road less and their Carbon Footprint will also be better.As an example, one Cardboard Waste Trading Company, in Central England, is presently collecting 10 ton minimum cargos (20 bales) and paying between £55 to £65 per ton (Today's date is 21 February 2010). The value of Cardboard and other waste materials can rise and fall with market conditions.I recently came across one business whose cardboard waste bill was £1,400 per month. They have recently leased a Mill Size Baler from my company for £151.67 per month. After 5 years they will own the baler for a nominal payment. Now let's look at the financial implications:The customer was producing 14 tons of cardboard per month. The cardboard bins were costing £1,400 per month. It took many vehicles to collect this binned waste. These many vehicles ferrying loose cardboard was creating a very big carbon footprint.The Client now has a W500 Mill Size Baler costing £151.67 per month; wire ties are about £240 per month. Total cost is £391.67 per month. The Customer receives a revenue of £60 x 14 tons = £840. Now there is an approximate net income for cardboard waste of £448.33.This obviously means rather than paying £1,400 for their waste, they are now in receipt of £448.33. They are £1,848.33 per month better off and the Carbon Footprint of this waste material is seriously reduced with much less vehicles needed to transport it. Hopefully, you can see there needs to be high volumes of cardboard waste, to make the use of a Mill Size Baler cost-effective. Bales can be stored outside on pallets until there is enough to transport.Deciding on the correct Waste Compactor Equipment for your business, should be left to the people in the know. It's best to receive advice from people who really know their equipment and the waste materials which you generate. Organizations frequently think they need a larger waste compactor and sometimes a smaller less-expensive baler will be quite sufficient.
