Recycling Balers
Recycling balers from MHM UK LTD are the cornerstone of efficient waste management for businesses of all sizes. Our range includes vertical balers for small to medium volumes, semi-automatic balers for medium to large operations, and fully automatic balers for high-volume 24/7 waste production.
Whatever your recyclable material—cardboard, plastic film, PET bottles, paper, textiles, or mixed recyclables—our balers compact it into dense, uniform bales that are easy to store, transport, and sell to recyclers. This reduces waste volume by up to 90%, lowers disposal costs, and can even generate revenue from your waste stream.
Every MHM recycling baler is manufactured in our UK facility with features like full-bale ejection, portcullis doors, and advanced anti-wire snap technology as standard.

What Can a Recycling Baler Handle?
Our recycling balers handle a wide range of recyclable materials including cardboard, plastic film, PET bottles, HDPE containers, paper, textiles, and mixed recyclables. For maximum recycling value, we recommend baling different material types separately so each bale can be sold to the appropriate specialist recycler at the best price. Clean, well-sorted bales consistently fetch higher prices than mixed or contaminated bales.
Choosing the Right Recycling Baler
The right recycling baler depends on your waste volume, material types, and available space. For small to medium volumes, a vertical recycling baler is ideal—compact, affordable, and producing bales up to 650kg. For medium to large volumes, a semi-automatic recycling baler offers higher throughput with manual wire tying. For continuous high-volume recyclable waste, a fully automatic recycling baler enables 24/7 autonomous operation. Contact us for a tailored recommendation.
Recycling Baler Revenue and ROI
Recycling balers don't just reduce waste costs—they generate revenue. Baled cardboard, plastic film, and PET are valuable commodities that recyclers will pay for. Combined with savings from reduced waste collections and lower disposal costs, many businesses see a return on investment within months of installing a recycling baler. We also offer hire and refurbished recycling balers for budget flexibility.
