Recyclable waste byproducts are efficiently collected for recycling at stores or other locations by compacting the recyclable waste as layers in a composite bale. The composite bales can be formed using existing cardboard balers that retailers or other stores typically already have for baling recyclable cardboard. In one embodiment, the composite bales are formed by binding together a layer of one type of recyclable waste and a layer of recyclable waste that includes one or more types of recyclable waste byproducts. The layered structure can be modified to omit one of the layers or to add additional waste byproduct layers.

1. A method for forming a layered bale of compressed recyclable waste, comprising: forming a first compressed outer layer of cardboard;forming a compressed recyclable waste layer comprising a plurality of bags filled with recyclable waste materials, the plurality of bags comprising at least a first bag filled with a recyclable waste material substantially consisting of only a first type of material substance and at least a second bag filled with another recyclable waste material substantially consisting of only a second material substance that is different than the first material substance and that is also different than a material used to make the second bag, such that the compressed recyclable waste layer comprises a plurality of recyclable waste materials that are packaged separately in at least the first and second bags;forming a second compressed outer layer of cardboard, the first and second compressed outer layers of cardboard being positioned on opposing sides of the compressed recyclable waste layer; andbinding together the first compressed outer layer of cardboard, the compressed recyclable waste layer, and the second compressed outer layer of cardboard to form a layered bale of compressed cardboard and recyclable waste materials. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein at least the first and second bags of the plurality of bags are configured to enable identification of the first and second material substances packaged within each of the first and second bags without opening each of the first and second bags. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of bags are color-coded to enable the identification of the first and second material substances within at least each of the first and second bags. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein each of the first and second bags are marked with different indicia corresponding to the first and second material substances packaged within each of the first and second bags, respectively. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein all recyclable waste of the first material substance is disposed within one or more bags having a first color that is different than a color of the second bag. 6. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein forming each of the first compressed outer layer of cardboard, the compressed recyclable waste layer, and the second compressed outer layer of cardboard includes using a baler and performing one or more compression cycles with the baler. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the method includes forming the first and second compressed outer layers of cardboard and the compressed recyclable waste layer by compressing the first and second compressed outer layers and the compressed recyclable waste layer with different compression cycles of the baler. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the method includes compressing the first outer layer prior to compressing either of the second outer layer or the compressed recyclable waste layer, and compressing the compressed recyclable waste layer prior to compressing the second outer layer. 9. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein the first material substance is selected from a first group consisting of plastic bags and plastic film, and wherein the second material substance is selected from a second group consisting of aluminum cans, plastic bottles, plastic clothing hangers, and shredded paper. 10. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein said bale is bound together with wire. 11. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the compressed recyclable waste layer is composed of recyclable waste materials that exclude cardboard and which comprise at least two materials selected from a group consisting of plastic bags, plastic film, aluminum cans, plastic bottles, plastic clothing hangers, and shredded paper. 12. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the compressed recyclable waste layer visibly extends an entire length of said bale, from a first end of said bale to an opposing second end of said bale, as well as an entire width of said bale, from a first side of said bale to an opposing second side of said bale. 13. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the method further includes forming at least one additional layer of either cardboard or recyclable waste material within the form a layered bale of compressed of cardboard and recyclable waste materials prior to said binding. 14. A method for forming a bound and layered bale of compressed recyclable waste, comprising: packaging a first recyclable waste of a first material substance within a first bag, the first bag containing substantially only the first material substance;packaging a second recyclable waste of a second material substance within a second bag, the second bag containing substantially only the second material substance which is different than the first material substance;inserting a recyclable material for a first outer layer into a baler;inserting the first and second bags into the baler;inserting additional recyclable material for a second outer layer into the baler;operating the baler to form a compressed recyclable waste layer out of at least the first and second bags and two compressed recyclable outer layers positioned on opposing sides of the compressed recyclable waste layer, thereby effectively sandwiching the compressed recyclable waste layer, the compressed recyclable waste layer comprising at least the first bag filled with substantially only the first material substance and at least the second bag filled with substantially only the second material substance; andbinding the compressed recyclable waste layer and the first and second compressed outer layers into a bound and layered bale of compressed recyclable waste materials. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein at least the first and second bags of the plurality of bags are configured to enable identification of the first and second material substances packaged within each of the first and second bags without opening each of the first and second bags. 16. The method as recited in claim 14, wherein the method further includes inserting at least one additional material within the baler and compressing the at least one additional material prior to the binding and to thereby form at least one additional layer of the bound and layered bale and which is visible along a width and length of the bound and layered bale. 17. The method recited in claim 14, wherein the method includes: operating the baler with a first set of one or more compression cycles to form at least one of the two compressed recyclable cardboard layers prior to inserting the first and second bags into the baler; andoperating the baler with a second set of one or more compression cycles to form the compressed recyclable waste layer that is composed of at least the first and second bags. 18. The method of claim 14, wherein both of the first and second material substances is different than a material used to make the first and second bags. 19. The method recited in claim 14, wherein the recyclable material of the first and second outer layers is of a same type. 20. The method recited in claim 19, wherein the recyclable material of the outer layers comprises cardboard.
