A method of forming a higher density bale of waste paper from two or more lower density bales (38) of waste paper includes positioning the lower density bales (38) intact and in side-by-side relationship with respect to each other, moving them to a compression zone, and compressing the bales (38) together in the compression zone to form a higher density bale (39). The higher density bale (39) can then be strapped to maintain its higher density configuration and shape. Thus, a larger tonnage of waste paper in bales can be loaded into a shipping container for transport. A rebaler (11) for carrying out the method includes side feed and side retrieval of bales, significantly improving over traditional top feed machines. |
