The pressing chamber is capable of being formed by movement of the rolls (1) along a predetermined path line and by end walls (11) arranged at the end faces of the rolls (1). Additionally, the round bale press is included in a refuse packaging apparatus having a wrapping apparatus (40) downstream from the press for wrapping the pressed refuse bale, wrapped on the peripheral side in a netting web, in one or more foil webs (41), and a delivery station (50) beyond the wrapping apparatus (40) for the refuse bales completely wrapped in the foil web (41).
