Baler

A baler is used to compress hay into bales.

Sorted garbage arrives at the baler, which produces the facility's final product — pressed bales of plastic and metal, each weighing up to half a ton. Sims Recycling sells the bales to industrial plants where new bottles and cans are made for New Yorkers to use again.

Farmer Jones is in straits because his baler is broken down and he's got three fields of hay ready to bale.

Hank worked as a baler for Farmer Jones part time, to make ends meet.
