$64k in Trash Invoice Savings Achieved with Switch to On-Call Hauling

Apartment Complex Waste Management Challenge

A southern apartment complex was facing high trash invoices across numerous compactors. Their compactors were running on a set haul schedule without the ability to adjust operations to achieve improved fullness. This resulted in inefficient, low tonnage hauls.

The Solution: Predictive Hauling with Compactor Monitors

The complex deployed multiple DSQ Pioneer Compactor Monitors. Once trained, the compactor monitors accurately predicted the date when target fullness would occur. The software automatically & proactively self-scheduled the hauls with their hauler.

This switch from scheduled hauls to on-call hauling reduced their number of trash hauls, making a significant impact to their bottom line.

The Results of Predictive Hauling

Haul Reduction

46% reduction in hauls by transitioning from scheduled hauls to on-call hauling based on the DSQ Pioneer's predictive model.

Net Savings

$64,872 savings on trash invoices was achieved by eliminating their inefficient scheduled haul operation.

Lower Environmental Impact

46% reduction in GHG, decreased emissions and overall lower fuel impact thanks to reduced hauls.

How to Get Started with a Compactor Monitoring System

The DSQ Pioneer Compactor Monitor provides predictive hauling based on real-time data. Apartment complexes install monitors—with no disruption to tenants—for cost reductions, improved operational efficiencies and lower environmental impact.
