Apparatus for storing and baling newspapers is provided having an imperforate rectangular shelf supported by vertically-disposed legs which extend beyond the top side of the shelf to form an open-sided container for the stack of newspapers. The shelf top side has a longitudinally-extending groove and three laterally-extending grooves which are adapted to receive a threading rod having a notch at one end thereof. With a stack of newspapers on the shelf, the end of the baling string is held in the notch and is pushed through the grooves, so that one longitudinal tie and either one, two, or three lateral ties may be made for each bale. The legs are secured to the shelf by self-locking connecting means. One of the legs is graduated with a vertically-extending scale expressing the height of the stack of newspapers in terms of the approximate weight of the stack. A magazine storage shelf, a holder for a roll of baling string and a peg for storing the threading rod are also provided.
