Bales

A baler is used to compress hay into bales.

Hay bales are often wrapped in a layer of green plastic sheeting.

In Quezon City when I was child, my family visited a mushroom farm. The mushrooms grew on rectangular hay bales.

There are over 30 bales of hay in the barn.

All the bales are almost loaded.

How many bales of hay can your truck carry?

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.
