Every day, a housing society produces kilograms of wet kitchen waste that ends up in overflowing bins, costly garbage pickups and landfills. A Klimrus food waste composting machine turns that waste into nutrient-rich compost right inside your society premises, cleanly, on site, and at a low running cost.
Why Apartments and Housing Societies Need a Composting Machine
Wet waste such as vegetable peels, leftover food and tea leaves makes up a large share of household garbage in India. When it sits in bins or is sent to landfills, it causes smell, attracts pests, and adds to collection costs. Many municipal corporations now expect large societies to segregate waste and process wet waste on site, and some penalise societies that don't.
An on-site composting machine solves all of this in one step. Your society's food waste is processed on the premises, garbage volumes drop, and the compost can be used in your society's gardens and green areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a composting machine mandatory for housing societies?
Under India's Solid Waste Management Rules 2016, bulk waste generators, which include many large housing societies, are expected to segregate waste and process wet waste on site wherever possible. Many municipal corporations enforce this locally, so check your city's specific rules. A composting machine is one of the simplest ways to comply.
How much space does a society composting machine need?
It depends on the capacity. Our team checks the available area during the free site assessment. Common locations include parking areas, open corners of the compound and terraces. Solar models work best in a spot that receives good sunlight during the day.
Will residents complain about smell?
When operated correctly, a Klimrus machine produces minimal odour. Bad smells come from waste rotting without oxygen. Our machines shred the waste and keep it aerated and warm, supporting clean aerobic composting. We train your staff on correct loading during installation.
How much does a composting machine cost for a society?
Our 25 kg/day machine costs ₹1,49,000 and our 100 kg/day solar machine costs ₹2,49,000. Larger societies and townships receive a customised quote after a site assessment.
Who operates the machine in the society?
Your existing housekeeping staff can operate it after a short training session, which we provide during installation.
