An improved baling machine for compacting loose waste material, such as paper, cardboard and the like. A pair of hydraulic cylinders, oriented crosswise to one another, when energized, cause a platen to move downward within a cabinet structure to compress the waste material contained therein. Because of the manner in which the hydraulic cylinders are pivotally mounted with respect to the cabinet frame and the movable platen, the force applied to the material to be baled increases as the stroke of the cylinder piston increases. Also, a unique arrangement of platen guide bars, cooperating with guide slots in the cabinet frame, prevent the platen from tipping and binding during the traversal of the platen.
