Earth Month 2020 & The Green Mission
April is recognized as Earth Month, and yesterday was the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day.
In 1970, Earth Day was instituted to bring awareness to issues surrounding the environment and climate. What started in the United States quickly spread to become a worldwide movement, being celebrated in 190+ countries. This year, Earth Day turned 50. Learn more about the history of Earth Day here.
Our Green Mission
At PTR Baler and Compactor Company, it’s always been our mission to help your organization go greener and meet its sustainability goals. Our goal is to help businesses across the country, and internationally, improve their environment, inside and out, and to positively impact the health of your employees and community. We do this by providing the most effective and durable waste and recycling equipment in the industry. Whether your goals are to reduce waste or to reach zero waste, PTR can help make it happen.
Our Vertical Downstroke Balers divert cardboard, paper, plastics, shrink wrap, aluminum and more, turning these materials into recyclable commodities. With PTR balers and compactors, your company can achieve (or even exceed) its targeted waste reduction goals.
Waste and recycling management is key in implementing corporate sustainability policy and practices. When you create less waste, that in turn means less trucks hauling waste to landfills. Less trucks means less pollution-causing emissions. Not to mention, transportation savings for your company.
You’ll reduce waste and lower your carbon footprint, all the while creating a healthier environment for yourself and your employees, and your community. Plus, you’ll create an additional revenue stream by turning what was once trash into valuable recyclable commodities.
Under our current circumstances, there are still things we can as individuals do to honor and celebrate the planet, all month long. Try gardening or even plant a tree! Be mindful of water usage and try cutting down on shower time.

New Product News: The T-2KXHB
News about our 𝙉𝙀𝙒 𝙋𝙍𝙊𝘿𝙐𝘾𝙏!
PTR would like to introduce our newest addition to the Cart Tipper Line, the T-2KXHB!T-2KXHB is a 2,000 lb. capacity, extended reach height tipper slotted above our established family of low, medium and high frame tippers. It is cost effective, single-stage solution for tipping over 100” high load edge.
Cart Tippers, also known as Cart Dumpers and Commercial Lifters, help your organization reduce the risk of work related back injuries, thus saving you time and money. Your waste and recycling handling staff employees spend several hours lifting waste from collection bins into waste removal containers, exposing them to potential injury. When your waste & recycling handling employees utilize a commercial cart dumper, they’re able to move loads from the collection bin to waste removal containers much faster and with less potential for injury or strain.
We offer several other models of lifters, all of which are a breeze to install and economical. You’ll find the money you save in unwanted downtime will make the product well worth the cost! Retail chains, distribution centers , property management companies, universities, and government institutions will also benefit from the addition of a Cart Tipper to their waste and recycling system. Review our line of cart dumper models here.

A Guide to Choosing the Right PTR Baler
The basic job of a baler is to compact your recyclable materials into a manageable form. In order to make the most appropriate choice consider the following: materials, space, size and budget. With so many models to choose from, selecting the best PTR baler for your business can be tricky. We’re here to help make the process easier! Check out this comprehensive guide to choosing a baler that will suit your company’s unique needs.
MATERIALS
If your organization produces recyclable waste (any most all do to some extent), then you need a recycling baler. Knowing the type of recyclable waste you’re dealing with is key in determining the baler you’ll need.All PTR Vertical Downstroke Balers seamlessly bale cardboard, plastic P.E.T. bottles, aluminum cans, magazines, office paper, newsprint, paper cartons, e-waste, textiles and clothing. But only a few heavy-duty models can additionally handle foam and rugs, tires, white goods (appliances) and non-ferrous metals. For example, our 500HD and 7200HD models are the perfect choice if you operate a larger warehouse, recycling center, hotel, supermarket, retail chain, mall or hospital, that sees a lot of that type of material.
SPACE
Space is another factor that comes into play when choosing your PTR baler model. If you have plenty of warehouse floor space as well as plenty of height, you won’t have to worry about this too much. Conversely, if you have a condensed amount of space and low ceiling height, you’ll want to consider a model such as our 2318, which is a low-profile, smaller baler, ideal for limited ceiling height.Since our balers are Vertical, they take up much less space than many horizontal baler models. You will want to also keep in mind that you’ll need some extra space for when the bale is ejected, as well as an area where they can then be transported out.
SIZE
The size of your baler should be based on the amount you’ll be putting it to work. Those who will only produce a few bales each week most likely won’t have a need for one of our larger balers, and visa versa.Our Vertical Balers range in size from 24″ to 72″, and can accommodate balers anywhere from 100 lbs to 1800 lbs.
BUDGET
Of course, budget is an important factor when choosing a baler. PTR respects that each company has it’s own budget. You’ll work with an expert customer representative that will be able to help match you with a baler that will suit your needs and stay within your budget.In addition to our line of new Vertical Balers, PTR also proudly offers our Rebuild Program of balers. This is a great way for those working with limited budgets to get a like-new piece of certified equipment for the most economical price out there. These machines have undergone a thorough 52 pint inspection process and a complete reconditioning.
We are confident that we’ll be able to find you a custom solution. Contact us to learn more about our new and rebuilt baler models! We’re happy to help you from start to finish.

Facility Management with PTR Equipment
If you’re looking for a turnkey solution for your recycling and waste management needs, PTR has it. We work with many facility and property management organizations nationwide, among other markets. For example, we offer solutions for facilities such as:
- Apartments
- Condos
- Malls
- Industrial facilities
- Movie Theaters
- Department Stores & More
We have large manufacturing facilities, located in Philadelphia PA and Plant City, FL, as well as stocking programs, so we can deliver and install quickly and expertly. Our account representatives are trained to ensure you’re matched with equipment and service plans best suited for your needs. One way we do this is through analyzing and identifying your company’s waste stream composition.
- Wet Waste: This includes organic materials like food and liquid waste. You won’t have to worry about fluid leakage, pests or unpleasant odors with a PTR Compactor.
- Dry Waste: The PTR stationary compactor is perfect for facilities that deal with mostly dry waste. This would include home supply chains, clothing stores, store chains, and distribution centers, to name a few. Waste is compacted, the container is removed and emptied off-site, and then brought back to the location by a waste hauler.
- Recyclable Waste: Our Vertical Balers are an excellent way to manage your recyclable materials and create a new revenue stream for your company. Cardboard, plastic bags, shrink wrap, plastic bottles, aluminum cans and much more (depending on model), can be diverted from the landfill. Our balers will help you meet sustainability goals and regulations. The new PTR Smart Baler features innovative technology that we know we revolutionize your current processes.
16 out of 20 major retailers in the U.S. choose PTR products, and the reason is simple. PTR manufactures a superior product, backed by a comprehensive standard warranty, and continues to deliver excellent customer service long after the sale. All of our waste and recycling equipment is built to be the safest on the market, meeting all OSHA and NOISH recommendations. We also offer additional products such as Cart Dumpers and Baler Conveyors, to help keep your employees safe and productive.
