Balers

Non recyclable material (residue) is conveyed to a compactor and taken to the Transfer Station for disposal.
Balers compress plastic, steel and aluminum containers into a large block, called a bale. Baled materials are sent to processors to be remade into new products. (Glass is not baled, and is loaded onto trailers for its journey to market.)
