Komar equipment is engineered for durability, simplicity, and safe long-term operation in high-use environments:
Engineered for high-volume dry waste streams at transfer stations, drop-off sites, and municipal facilities. These units deliver reliable compaction to reduce hauling costs and improve site efficiency.
Designed for wet waste applications such as food service areas, parks, and public venues. These units prevent leaks and odors while maintaining sanitary conditions.
Ideal for municipal recycling programs handling cardboard, plastics, and aluminum cans. Perfect for schools, recreation centers, and city offices with moderate recycling volumes.
Built for high-volume recycling operations such as material recovery facilities (MRFs) and public works departments. These machines streamline processing for cardboard, plastics, and other recyclables.
Purpose‑built for bottles, cans, and cartons in municipal deposit programs or MRF lines. EPC units compact and remove liquids to lower hauling weight, improve downstream sorting, and baling efficiency.
Built for municipal operations that handle mixed municipal solid waste (MSW), cardboard, wood, and bulky items. Komar augers shred and compact in one continuous motion, reducing hauls, manual breakdown, and site congestion. Electromechanical drives minimize hydraulic-oil usage and support clean, reliable operation at transfer stations and public‑works yards.
Designed for bulky municipal waste such as furniture, pallets, and large appliances. Pre-crushers break down oversized items before compaction, reducing volume and preventing jams. Ideal for transfer stations and public works facilities handling irregular loads.
Real-time monitoring and data analytics help optimize equipment performance and reduce downtime through proactive insights.
Scheduled maintenance keeps your equipment running smoothly, extending its lifespan and preventing costly breakdowns.
Reliable access to genuine parts and expert service ensures fast repairs and minimal operational disruptions.
Manage capital budgets with flexible leasing and rental options.
*Certain waste streams require specialized handling for safety and compliance and may have limited recycling capability. All processing must meet applicable environmental and regulatory standards.
Public waste systems serve entire communities, often managing hundreds of waste types across multiple departments. Without specialized equipment, manual handling leads to overflow, safety risks, and citizen complaints. Komar’s solutions help municipalities overcome these challenges with reliable, efficient systems.
Bulky waste, such as furniture, appliances, and discarded household items creates significant challenges for collection and disposal. Without proper compaction and processing, these materials increase hauling costs and safety hazards. Auger compactors and pre-crushers reduce volume and prevent overflow.
Organic and event waste, from food scraps at city festivals or high quantities of bottles, cans, or food and beverage containers from city parks adds variability and odor concerns to municipal waste streams. Self-contained compactors and dewatering systems help control pests, reduce contamination, and improve overall cleanliness and sustainability.
Mixed municipal waste , managed through outdated methods often results in inefficiencies, higher costs, and public complaints. Stationary and auger compactors deliver consistent performance, reduce hauling frequency, and maintain compliance with environmental and safety standards.
From small rural towns to busy urban districts, Komar’s municipal-grade equipment helps you do more with less—less hauling, less waste volume, and less downtime. With rugged builds and proven reliability, you get what matters most: clean streets, efficient operations, and safer communities.
Komar provides solutions for both streams—helping municipalities separate, compact, and process materials efficiently across departments.
Yes. Komar compactors and balers are widely used at municipal transfer stations, drop-off sites, and material recovery facilities to handle high-volume waste efficiently.
Bulky items are best processed with auger compactors or pre-crushers, which break down oversized materials and reduce hauling and landfill costs.
Yes. Komar provides comprehensive training and safety resources to ensure city crews operate equipment correctly and confidently.
Most municipalities achieve ROI in less than two years through reduced hauling frequency, lower labor costs, and more efficient site operations.
It depends on your goals. To maximize recycling rebates, keep materials separate. If you just need mixed waste disposal, our compactors can handle both. Balers are for recyclables only, and wet waste should go in a self-contained or auger compactor.
Self-contained compactors help manage event waste effectively by reducing odors, preventing overflow, and keeping public spaces clean during high-volume activities.
Komar systems can process green waste or yard debris, but we do not recommend these applications. Our equipment is engineered for municipal solid waste and recyclables, and using it for green waste may reduce efficiency and increase wear.
Komar offers preventive maintenance plans, hands-on training for city maintenance teams, and remote technical support to keep equipment running reliably.
Yes, in many cases. Municipalities often qualify for state recycling grants, infrastructure programs, or environmental funding initiatives. Komar can assist in identifying available opportunities.
Komar systems support municipal compliance with state and local recycling mandates, landfill diversion goals, and zero-waste initiatives.
Komar compactors and balers are engineered for durability, with most units delivering 15 years or more of reliable service when properly maintained. Preventive maintenance programs and rugged designs ensure long-term performance in demanding municipal environments.
