Waste Baler Rental & Lease Hire
Renting a waste baler is often the simplest way to get waste volumes under control without tying up capital in equipment. It’s commonly used by businesses that already know how much waste they produce but want flexibility around cost, contract length or future changes on site. Waste baler rental is widely used on sites where cardboard, plastic and packaging waste builds up as part of everyday activity. Instead of dealing with bins or skips that quickly fill and need frequent collections, a hired baler allows material to be compacted as it’s produced and removed in a more controlled way. At Landfill Alternatives, we supply waste balers on a rental and lease hire basis to businesses across the UK. Hire periods are typically arranged over three or five years, but this can be adapted depending on the machine being supplied and how the site is set up to use it.
Renting a Waste Baler
Waste balers supplied on rental operate in the same way as purchased machines. Material is loaded into the chamber and compacted using hydraulic pressure until a bale is formed. Once complete, the bale is tied using baler wire or baler twine and removed from the machine.
Rental balers are typically supplied with delivery, installation and operator training. Support and servicing can be included within the hire agreement, meaning the baler can be kept in use without the site having to organise maintenance themselves.
Waste baler rental is usually chosen where keeping upfront spend low matters, where a consistent monthly cost makes budgeting easier, or where waste volumes are expected to change over time. It’s also a common option when a baler is needed quickly and waiting for new equipment isn’t practical.
Types of Waste Balers Available to Rent
Waste balers are rented in a few different configurations, with the choice mainly coming down to how waste builds up on site and how it’s fed into the machine during the day.
Vertical balers are commonly rented where cardboard or plastic builds up steadily through the day and is loaded by hand. These machines suit lower to moderate volumes and have a relatively small footprint.
Multi chamber balers are used where different recyclable materials need to be baled separately using a single machine. They’re often rented by sites handling both cardboard and plastic but with limited space.
Horizontal balers are typically rented where waste volumes are higher and material is fed more frequently, including by bins, tippers or mechanical handling equipment.
Fully automatic balers are supplied on rental for larger operations where waste is fed continuously by conveyor as part of a wider waste handling system.
Waste Types Commonly Handled on Rental Balers
Waste baler rental is commonly used for:
- cardboard and paper packaging
- plastic film, wrap and packaging
- mixed dry recyclables
Finished bales can be stored neatly on pallets or in designated holding areas until collection, helping keep work areas clear and waste contained.
Is Waste Baler Rental Right for Your Site?
For most sites, the choice between renting and buying comes down to how costs and responsibility are managed. Some businesses hire a baler while they confirm waste volumes, while others keep equipment on rental long term so they’re not tying up capital or taking on upkeep themselves.
Where waste output increases, rental machines can often be changed or upgraded, which makes hire a practical option for sites that are growing or adjusting how waste is handled.
If you’re unsure whether rental or purchase is the better route, we can review how waste is produced, handled and removed on site and advice from there.
