Cardboard quickly overwhelms storage space in high-volume settings. Komar balers, compactors, and augers reduce corrugated waste at the source—cutting pickups and reclaiming floor space.
Foam is lightweight and bulky. Komar equipment can compact these materials for easier storage, transport, or recycling—lowering disposal costs.
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and wet waste are present in virtually every environment, from commercial and industrial facilities to hospitality and residential settings. Komar provides equipment that is engineered to improve cleanliness, control odors, and reduce pests. These solutions streamline handling and support a more efficient, sanitary waste management process.
Non-ferrous metals like aluminum and copper require efficient handling for recycling value. Komar balers compress these materials into dense, market-ready bales—reducing storage space and improving transport efficiency.
Paper waste—including office paper, newsprint, packaging, and other types—builds up quickly in retail and logistics. Komar equipment compresses paper efficiently, making recycling more manageable and cost-effective.
Plastic films, stretch wrap, and containers create disposal challenges. Komar equipment handles plastics cleanly and efficiently, helping facilities maintain flow and reduce contamination.
Hazardous waste, product destruction, and regulated materials require secure, compliant handling. Komar provides engineered systems for shredding, containment, and destruction to support safety and compliance.
Textile waste from retail, manufacturing, hospitality, or other industries is bulky and flammable. Komar equipment processes textiles for safer storage, easier transport, and secure disposal.
Pallets, crates, construction debris, and other types of wood waste takes up space and can be dangerous to handle. Komar augers and pre-crushers break down wood waste into manageable volumes—improving safety and reducing disposal costs.
Food scraps and other organic materials are heavy, wet, and costly to dispose of. Komar’s self-contained compactors, organic separation presses, and dewatering systems reduce weight and volume by removing excess liquid—cutting hauling costs and improving sanitation.
Large items such as furniture and appliances present unique challenges for disposal and space management. Komar provides robust augers and pre-crushers that simplify handling, reduce volume, and lower overall disposal costs. This equipment is designed for durability and reliability, helping facilities maintain order while managing oversized materials responsibly.
“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
