Baler for Newspaper Recycling

We’re learning once again how important it is to recycle newspapers along with glass, plastic and aluminum. With every ton of newspapers that is recycled, more than a dozen trees are saved! Here’s a project that will make it easier for all of us to do our part, an easy-to-build paper baler.

The baler holds about one month’s accumulation of newspapers and is convenient to use with a built-in string box as well as a covered razor blade to cut the string or twine. Step-by-step directions and full-size traceable patterns make this project simple enough for the amateur woodworker. Just trace the parts, saw them out, and put them together!
