Apparatus for forming a self-supporting ale of metal cans comprising a baler adapted to compact metal cans into a bale. Opposite side walls of the baler include an array along each side wall of parallel open-face grooves. A platten having defined along each of its opposite sides walls, an array of projections adapted to be received within respective ones of the wall grooves I meshing relationship whereby movement of the platten along the length of the baler functions to compact the cans disposed within the grooves to a higher degree of densification than the degree of densification of cans proximate the central portions of the bale.
