Choosing the right small vertical baler for your site
Small vertical balers are one of the most effective ways to manage cardboard and soft plastic waste where space is limited but recycling volumes are consistent. Commonly used in retail, hospitality, warehouses and light industrial sites, these balers reduce waste volume, improve site safety and lower disposal costs.
For businesses producing regular but manageable amounts of recyclable material, selecting the right baler size is critical. Too small, and you risk inefficiency. Too large, and you waste floor space and capital.
When is a small vertical baler the right choice?
A small vertical baler is typically suited to sites that:
- Generate low to medium volumes of cardboard or soft plastics
- Have limited space for waste handling equipment
- Want to reduce manual handling and loose waste
- Need consistent, mill-size bales for recycling
These machines are simple to operate, reliable and designed for daily use without complex infrastructure.
Small vertical baler options from our WastePac range
The WastePac range includes several small vertical balers designed to suit different waste volumes and site constraints.

How to choose the right model
When comparing small vertical balers, consider:
- Daily cardboard or plastic volume
- Available floor space and ceiling height
- Frequency of bale changeover
- Future growth in waste volumes
Matching the baler to your real-world usage ensures better efficiency and lower operating costs over time.
