“In the 1970’s we threw the cardboard into a special room, which was emptied by a waste collector once a week. We did this until we bought our first Bramidan baler in the middle of the 1980’s. We had this baler for many years and we were extremely satisfied with it,” says Bjarne Andersen.
 
During the years the quantity of waste has increased considerably. Furthermore the demands regarding how to handle waste are now stricter, both with regard to the environment and the economy. Goods are delivered twice a week, well protected in various types of packaging. Then the goods are unpacked and moved into the sales area or to the warehouse.
 
“At the moment we make seven or eight cardboard bales and one plastic bale every week. The balers are very easy to handle and effective because we can get the waste out of the way immediately. Both plastic and cardboard is collected for recycling,” explains Bjarne Andersen and adds that the mixed waste from the baker’s and the butcher’s department is not compacted in the balers, as they want to keep the cardboard and plastic waste ‘clean’.
