SMBs need reliable, compact, and cost-effective waste equipment—built to handle the job without overwhelming your space or your budget. These solutions combine industrial performance with a footprint that fits your operation.
Ideal for cardboard, paper, and/or other recyclables. Compact footprint, plug-and-play operation, and fast ROI.
Great for mixed waste and tight indoor or outdoor areas. Reduces dumpster trips and improves sanitation.
For operations with food waste or wet waste, these sealed units eliminate odor and leakage.
Perfect for mixed waste streams such as packaging, plastics, and general refuse. Komar’s stationary compactors reduce waste volume at the source, lowering haul frequency and disposal costs while keeping work areas clean and organized.
Optimized for operations with steady cardboard (OCC) and paper waste—such as retail, distribution, and light manufacturing. Turn recyclables into compact, marketable bales, helping businesses recover value and meet sustainability goals.
Real-time monitoring and data analytics optimize equipment performance and reduce downtime through proactive insights.
Scheduled maintenance keeps your equipment running smoothly, extending its life span and preventing costly breakdowns.
Reliable access to genuine parts and expert service ensures fast repairs and minimal operational disruptions.
Flexible leasing, rental, and certified used equipment options provide cost-effective solutions for short-term needs or budget-conscious operations.
Unmanaged waste costs more than you think.
It takes up valuable floor space, impacts staff productivity, and creates an unprofessional experience for customers and employees.
Small businesses often overpay for waste without compaction. Frequent pickups, overflowing bins, and higher per-ton rates drive costs up compared to larger operations.
The right equipment changes everything for your operation. It reduces pickup frequency, frees up floor space, and builds a system that scales as your business grows.
You don’t need a large facility to benefit from proper waste equipment. Komar will analyze your current waste volumes, review space constraints, and recommend systems sized for your needs. The goal is simple: cut pickup frequency, reclaim floor space, and build a solution that fits your budget while leaving room for growth.
“Our facility is a 110,000-square-foot operations center for Goodwill of Southwestern Pennsylvania. We get between 1.2 to 1.5 million pounds of material a day, and tonnage increases significantly during the summer. The Komar auger has increased daily soft trash, wood pallets, and general trash efficiency by 30% and 40% with furniture. I love to give shock-and-awe tours to show off the Komar Auger, which compacts 8.5 to 9 tons into each payload.”
Bob Kagle, Director of Retail Logistics, Goodwill of Southwestern Pennsylvania
“Since installing our Komar Auger, we have improved our operations tremendously. The auger units have reduced labor from six people down to one person, who oversees the conveyor lines and compactors. We have gone from a 2-ton payload to a 10-ton-plus payload, per 40-yard container, reducing our annual pull charges by over 75%. We have less downtime and have eliminated jams due to the slow operation of the old compactors. Best of all, we had less than a one-year return on investment.”
John Hefty, Operations Manager, GameStop
“We estimate that the Komar Auger has saved us 1,300 hours of labor per year, has reduced our hauling cost by two-thirds, and has given La-Z-Boy a safer process and more floor space.”
Troy Kvingedal, Facilities Supervisor, La-Z-Boy
“Our disposal costs have dropped, which at least covers the cost of the compactors. Aside from the monetary aspect, the compactors allow the stores to be considerably cleaner. Cleanup at night is much easier because we have no trash cluttering up the back room of the store. All in all, we are very pleased with the compactors.”
Doug Gehrig, CEO, McDonald’s of Southwest Louisiana
By installing a compactor or baler, you can reduce loose waste volume by 4 to 10 times, drastically cutting hauling frequency.
A vertical baler or vertical compactor offers the best value and requires very little space.
Vertical balers are ideal for low to moderate volumes, while horizontal balers and auger compactors work better for high-volume cardboard processing.
Most systems pay for themselves in 12 to 24 months through reduced hauling fees and improved workflow efficiency.
Yes. Most Komar SMB systems are plug-and-play and require only standard electrical service and a level surface.
Roughly the footprint of a standard pallet, a vertical baler or compactor is perfect for back rooms, loading areas, or garages.
Yes, but it’s simple and quick. Komar provides complete training during installation.
