Compressed waste - An ingenious solution for waste handling in residential areas

Roco waste suction system is a waste treatment system for household waste for burning. A simple presentation of the system is that you can throw away your trash bag, either through a garbage chute on the bottom floor or in the traditional garbage chutes. The trash bag falls down to a compressor, where fragmenting and compression takes place. The compressor occupies a volume of only 1 cubic meter, and it can be located where there is space. The waste is compressed to approx. 30 % of the original volume and is then fed to a pipe of ø180mm.

The compressed waste is then conveyed with pressurized air to a container. The conveying distance and the location of the container is adaptable, in other words, the container can be located for instance 200 m away and on another level, theoretically there are no limitations.


The system is possible to adapt, requires a small space and the solutions are created depending on the location and the design of the building. This is the simplest form of Roco waste suction system, several solutions are present and on a daily basis adapted for each customer.
