The best and most efficient way to recycle cardboard is by using a cardboard baler. If you regularly have a large volume of cardboard waste, it is possibly already sorted or segregated. You probably already put it into a cardboard container marked for “cardboard only”. This is a start, but there is much more you can do to improve your “carbon footprint” and save yourself money in the long-term.

When cardboard is put in a council wheelie bin (usually an 1100litre bin), it is not always the most economical way to get rid of the cardboard. We all hear the phrases “footprints” and “carbon footprints”. A footprint is the area taken up by a typical baler on your premises. A small baler may take up 3ft by 3ft of floor space. That is its “footprint”.

A “carbon footprint” is something completely different and should be thought about more than it normally is.

Strong Recycling Balers Ltd makes balers in the West Midlands and provides them to all businesses wanting to recycle in a more carbon neutral way, while reducing their cost for waste disposal.

Westminster Council recently leased a baler for their cardboard and plastic waste at Sayers Croft, Ewhurst, Cranleigh GU6 7SS. They are very satisfied with it. With a bit of luck, the Westminster Council will take on more of Strong Recycling Balers Machinery, at many sites throughout its area.

If all the Councils in the UK, can now use the same routine for collecting waste in government buildings, schools, colleges, hospitals and other locations, carbon footprints can be very much reduced. In fact, further savings can also be made in the collection of the waste.

The Government is enforcing reductions on overheads throughout the United Kingdom. Here is a great way for councils to make huge savings. Deliberate any government building which has say 3 x 1100 litre bins collected weekly. These bins will cost at least £11.00 each to be emptied. There is habitually a weekly rental for each bin of approximately £1. The cost of these dustbin lorries is immense and I wonder if the cost has even been subsidised in the past.

If you trade the 3 weekly wheelie bins (Total £36.00), with a baler (£12.00), you will save £24 on the weekly cost of removing your waste. This is at one location only. There is a network of Private Organizations, throughout the UK, who frequently collect cardboard bales free of charge for recycling purposes. The Cardboard, Plastic, Paper and other baled waste materials can be collected free of charge by these Private Businesses. The waste materials have a commercial value for recycling.

So there is a real cost saving to the council of £24 per week on a conventional site. Imagine if 10,000 Council locations throughout the UK could each save £24.00 per week. That would mean a Council Cutback nationwide of £240,000 per week. That represents an annual saving of £12,500,000 to the Councils UK wide. There would be a huge reduction of dustbin vehicles on the roads, because the cardboard or other waste is greatly compacted. More waste-collecting jobs would be established in the Private Sector. The waste-collection industry is increasing fast and there will always be free collections. All the waste collected is for actual recycling. Collecting baled waste means much fewer vehicles on the road, less diesel fuel used and lower financial costs. At the moment, lots of waste collected by councils is still going to landfill. If the Councils purchase or lease their Baler Equipment from a company such as Strong Recycling Balers Ltd (Tel 0800 5677 384), it is supporting British Manufacturing. There are very few baler manufacturers in the UK. Most balers are imported from Ireland, Denmark, Germany and China.

WHERE CAN A BALER BE USED BY THE COUNCIL?
The simple answer is, anywhere you have lots of cardboard, paper, plastic shrink-wrap, cans and even general waste. Every school with a kitchen, should certainly have a baler for its waste. Many food pubs in the UK are using Strong Recycling Balers, mainly for cardboard, but also for general waste and plastics too. Having one of these balers in the kitchen area, will usually isolate it from children. The machine can also be made safe, with an isolation switch to cut power when not in use and also a padlock can be fitted. There is a potential for thousands of these balers to be installed in schools and colleges throughout the UK. There is no lay out, as a simple 5 year lease agreement can be established, where the council will own the baler after 5 years, for £12 per week. The baler is also ideal for office buildings where there is lots of shredded paper occurring. Thousands of council buildings could be paying independent shredding companies to take away their shredded paper. This is a very expensive way to take away paper waste from government buildings. Each government building could shred their waste and then bale it themselves. The bales would be taken away free of charge. For £12 per week there is a possibility to save fortunes. There are so many applications for a baler in the council. Whatever department you are in, have a think about whether it would be cheaper to collect compressed waste less often, than paying fortunes for your bins.
