Mid-Range waste balers
Our range
Mid-range balers offer an ideal solution for businesses that need more capacity than a small baler but don't require the scale of a large, industrial machine. These compact-yet-capable units can produce bales of up to 300kg, making them a practical choice for organisations handling moderate to high volumes of recyclable waste. They’re a popular option across a wide range of sectors thanks to their ease of use, small footprint, and reliable performance.

What is a mid-range waste baler?
A mid-range waste baler is a medium-sized machine designed to compact recyclable materials into tidy, manageable bales. While larger than entry-level models, they still take up relatively little space and are straightforward to operate. With bigger feed openings and higher throughput, these balers suit businesses with a regular flow of packaging or waste material. They’re commonly used in manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, retail, hospitality, healthcare, and public sector environments.

Benefits of a Mid-Range waste baler
01
Reduced Waste Disposal Costs
By compressing bulky waste into compact bales, mid-range balers reduce the number of collections needed – lowering transport, skip hire, and disposal fees. Over time, this translates into significant cost savings for your business.
02
Improved Workplace Safety
Loose waste lying around can be a trip hazard and a fire risk. A mid-range baler helps keep waste contained and under control, creating a safer, cleaner working environment for your team.
03
Supports Environmental Compliance
With growing emphasis on sustainability and tighter waste regulations, mid-range balers help businesses efficiently separate and compact recyclables like cardboard and plastic. This boosts recycling rates and supports compliance with environmental standards and best practices.
04
Efficient Use of Space
Waste can take up a surprising amount of room. A mid-range baler compresses waste into neat, stackable bales – freeing up valuable floor space and improving site organisation.
05
Enhances Sustainability Credentials
Being seen to manage waste responsibly is good for your brand. Using a baler demonstrates a proactive approach to sustainability, which can support ISO accreditation or appeal to environmentally conscious customers.
06
Reliable and Easy to Operate
Mid-range balers are built for daily use, combining robust construction with simple controls. They’re easy to operate with minimal training, making them a practical option for busy teams.

We recently needed to purchase a tipping skip and – despite not being advertised on their website at that time – Riverside happily provided a quote, which we accepted, and delivery was made promptly after."
