$18,401 Saved in Under a Year After a Luxury Apartment Complex Replaced Weekly Hauls With Compactor Monitoring

A luxury apartment complex in Texas was facing rising trash invoices from 1x/week compactor hauls. Low-tonnage hauls and recurring ancillary fees drove up costs while still leaving the property vulnerable to packouts. Without visibility into actual compactor fullness, service levels remained disconnected from real demand. After installing the DSQ Pioneer Compactor Monitor, the property used a data-driven compactor monitoring system to shift from a 1x/week schedule to on-call hauling. That cut unnecessary hauls and saved real money.

The Compactor Monitor Solution

The building manager installed the DSQ Pioneer compactor monitor. Based on DSQ Pioneer's predictive model, scheduled hauls switched to on-call hauling. DSQ Pioneer self-scheduled each haul with the hauler when it predicted the compactor would reach target fullness.

After the monitor learned the compactor's patterns, the data showed it reached target fullness closer to the two-week mark. The complex replaced 1x/week hauls with one haul about every 13 days.

Results Achieved with Compactor Monitoring

Haul Reduction

DSQ Pioneer's predictive model cut hauls by 46%, with about 13 days between hauls.

Net Cost Savings

$18,401 savings on trash invoices was achieved in less than a year by eliminating inefficient scheduled hauls.

Lower Environmental Impact

Haul reductions managed to lower fuel impact and GHG emissions by 46%.

The Pioneer Compactor Monitor Impact

On-call hauling means you stop paying for hauls you don't need. A full compactor means no expensive, unnecessary hauls.

Our predictive compactor monitoring system learns from the compactor and predicts when target fullness will be achieved. This ensures proper tonnage, which avoids unnecessary hauls and saves thousands of dollars in trash invoices.

As a bonus: there is minimal site disruption during installation and no pause in service to your tenants.
