How a Texas Multifamily Property Cut Trash Invoices by $10,689 with a Compactor Monitor

The problem

A Texas multifamily building paid for a compactor haul every week, whether the compactor was full or not. The loads kept coming in underweight. That drove up trash invoices and greenhouse gas emissions. The property wanted to cut both.

The solution

The property installed the DSQ Pioneer compactor monitor and moved from a 1x/week schedule to on-call hauling. The hauler pushed back at first. The compactor monitor's readings made the case clear: fuller, less frequent hauls were better for both sides. Once the hauler saw that skipping low-tonnage weekly hauls worked for them too, they were on board.

The results after one year

- 86% increase in average haul weight
- 47% fewer hauls
- 46% less GHG emissions
- $10,689 saved on trash invoices
