Apartment Complex in Georgia Saves $14K in Six Months With DSQ Pioneer Compactor Monitor
An apartment complex in NC had expensive and ineffective pickups on its compactors. The property manager wanted to optimize trash spending and tonnage, so they installed a DSQ Pioneer Compactor Monitor.

An apartment complex in North Georgia had two compactors on site that were on a 2x a week pickup schedule. This resulted in constant hauls, which were expensive and ineffective for the location. Their property manager wanted to optimize trash spend and tonnage, so they decided to install a DSQ Pioneer Compactor Monitor.
The Solution
As soon as the DSQ Pioneer Compactor Monitor was installed, it started learning from the compactor usage patterns. This allowed the property to go into “autopilot”. The predictive model allowed scheduled hauls to change to on-call ones scheduled for the day when the compactors were expected to reach target fullness.
The Compactor Monitor Results
Haul Reduction
By implementing DSQ Pioneer’s predictive model, 43.6% of pickups were avoided for the location.
Net Savings
These avoided pickups have allowed the location to save 43% on hauling costs in six months. This equals $13,783 in savings.
Average Pickup Weight
By avoiding scheduled pickups, DSQ Pioneer increased the average tonnage by 74% on both compactors.
GHG Emissions These avoided pickups resulted in a 43.7% reduction in GHG emissions for the location, which increased their sustainability.
The DSQ Pioneer Compactor Monitor
The DSQ Pioneer Compactor Monitor predictive model eliminates the need for expensive and ineffective scheduled pickups. The monitor self-schedules hauls when a compactor is set to reach fullness, allowing properties to significantly reduce trash without any disturbance to tenants.
Its easy use and installation provide residential buildings with:
- Predictive hauling technology
- Real-time data insights
- Compactor fullness measurement
- Proactive haul schedule
