Municipal & Government Recycling & Waste Equipment
Public agencies answer to the budgets and procurement rules that govern every purchase. We supply and service recycling and waste-handling equipment for municipal transfer stations, drop-off and convenience centers, public works departments, county-owned MRFs, and state and federal facilities - and we support the procurement side too, from writing accurate bid specs to budgetary quotes and cooperative purchasing.
Whether you're outfitting a single convenience center with a vertical baler or specifying a full county transfer station, HMS is your single point of contact for equipment, installation, and long-term service - with options that fit public budgets and procurement requirements.

Recycling & Waste Equipment
for Public Operations
From a single convenience center to a county-owned MRF, HMS supplies and services the full range of recycling and waste-handling equipment - sized to your volumes, your site, and your budget, and backed by our in-house service team for the long haul.
Two Ram Balers
The workhorse for county MRFs and high-volume transfer stations. Two ram balers handle mixed recyclables - OCC, paper, plastics, and metals - with maximum density and the durability public operations need for years of dependable service.
View Two Ram Balers →Horizontal Auto-Tie Balers
For fiber-heavy recycling programs. Auto-tie balers process large volumes of OCC and mixed paper with automated wire-tying - efficient throughput with minimal labor for staffed recycling operations and drop-off programs.
View Auto-Tie Balers →Horizontal Manual-Tie Balers
A reliable, cost-effective baling option for smaller transfer stations and staffed drop-off sites. Flexible performance across OCC and mixed recyclables with lower capital investment than a fully automated system - a practical fit for tighter public budgets.
View Manual-Tie Balers →Vertical Balers
Ideal for drop-off and convenience centers. Vertical downstroke balers handle OCC and recyclables in a small footprint at low capital cost - a practical fit for smaller-volume sites and satellite locations.
View Vertical Balers →Compactors
Stationary and self-contained compactors for transfer stations and convenience centers - cutting the volume and hauling cost of solid waste and bulky material. Sized to your site and container setup.
View Compactors →Conveyors & Sort Systems
Integrated conveyor and sort systems for public MRFs and transfer stations - infeed, sort lines, and outbound conveyors configured for your material flow and site layout.

Built for How Public
Agencies Buy
Public purchases come with rules - bids, budgets, and accountability to taxpayers. HMS works within that process, not around it, from the first spec to long-term service.
Bid & Spec Assistance
HMS helps write accurate equipment specifications for your IFB or RFP and provides budgetary quotes for capital planning - so your bid reflects what your operation actually needs, not boilerplate.
Cooperative Purchasing
Where your agency allows it, cooperative purchasing can streamline procurement by buying off an already competitively-bid contract. Ask us about cooperative purchasing options for your equipment.
Budget-Conscious Options
New and reconditioned equipment, financing and lease options, and an ROI calculator to support capital requests - giving you defensible numbers for council, board, or budget approval.
Single Point of Accountability
One partner for system design, installation, and long-term service. For public operations that depend on uptime, that means one call for support and one team accountable for performance.
