A multi-baler system includes at least a first baler and a second baler that are dimensioned and functionally configured for crushing and baling different respective materials such as cardboard and plastic. Movable platens forcibly extend and withdraw under the control of a programmable logic controller. Sensors detect the dispositions of doors, gates, and platens. A baler dedicated to baling plastic fully extends its platen to expel air from plastic materials in a baling compartment. Platens forcibly extend for the durations of extension time intervals as measured by the controller. Threshold sensors provide signals by which the controller discerns when a baler is full. A platen is maintained in an extended position as a bale is prepared.
