Waste balers
What is a mill size waste baler?
A mill size waste baler is a heavy-duty recycling machine designed to compress large volumes of waste—typically cardboard, plastic film, and other packaging materials—into dense bales that meet the standard size and weight requirements of UK recycling mills.
These bales typically weigh around 400–600kg and are optimised for efficient stacking, storage, and transportation. Producing mill size bales not only helps to streamline your waste management processes but also ensures you’re achieving the best possible value when selling recyclable materials to processors.

"SWM are committed to safety, which is one of the key factors in sustaining relationships with suppliers and contractors – that’s why Riverside Waste Machinery Ltd has been servicing our internal balers successfully for a number of years. 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."
