Waste-processing and transportation systems and methods are described. An exemplary waste processing and transportation system () comprises a receiving area () where loose waste () is delivered, a baler () for processing the loose waste () into waste bales (), and a loading area () where the waste bales () are loaded onto a transport vehicle (e.g., a barge). A loader () may operate in the receiving area () to load the loose waste () into the baler (). At least one material handler () may be configured to move the waste bales () onto the transport vehicle () for transport to a waste transfer facility (). The waste bales () are configured such that the waste bales are unloaded from the transport vehicle () at the waste transfer facility () and loaded onto other transport vehicles (e.g., railcars) without further processing of the waste bales ().

Systems and methods of processing and transporting waste

High-compression balers and methods for forming bales are disclosed. An exemplary balercomprises a baling chamberconfigured to receive the material. The baling chamber is formed by a pair of end platesdefining the longitudinal ends of the baling chamber, and a driven endless beltguided by a plurality of rollers. The endless belt defines a periphery of the baling chamber. An exemplary method comprises providing an endless belt around at least a driven rollerand a tilt roller pair, receiving the material in a baling chamberthrough a throatformed between the driven rollerand the tilt roller pair, increasing the pressure applied by the endless beltto the material, and securing the material in the baling chamber with nettingto form the bales
