Eventually, the bales<br \/>\n  of recyclable materials are brought to a recycling company for resale and reuse.<\/p>\n<h2>WHEN YOU NEED A COMPACTOR \u2013 TRASH<\/h2>\n<p>In contrast, a compactor is used to reduce and compress large volumes of trash into a contained area before the waste<br \/>\n  hauling company picks it up and delivers it to the landfill. Compactors can reduce the overall number of trash pickups<br \/>\n  because compacted trash takes up less space!<\/p>\n<h2>Now you Decide \u2013 Compactor or Baler?<\/h2>\n<p>With an understanding of both balers and compactors, you can start to determine which piece of equipment is right for<br \/>\n  your business needs.
