Cleveland Hotel Reduces Annual Trash Hauls by 33% with DSQ Pioneer Compactor Monitor

A prominent hotel in Cleveland was operating its trash compactor on a fixed weekly schedule, resulting in frequent pickups regardless of fullness. This led to low-tonnage hauls, unnecessary service costs, and a lack of visibility into actual waste generation patterns.

The Predictive Solution

The hotel partnered with DSQ to quickly install a DSQ Pioneer Compactor Monitor on-site. The system gathered data immediately, learning the compactor’s usage patterns and activating its predictive model. Within a few weeks, the trash monitor provided the hotel’s operations team with real-time insights into fullness levels, enabling a switch to a more efficient hauling strategy.

The Results

With data-driven decision-making powered by DSQ Pioneer’s compactor monitoring system, the hotel saw immediate improvements:

• Haul Reduction: Hauls were reduced by 33%.
• Efficiency Boost: The average weight per pickup increased by 28%, optimizing each truckload and reducing low-value trips.
• Cost & Sustainability: Fewer hauls meant lower waste invoices and a reduction in GHG emissions, contributing to the hotel’s sustainability goals.

From Reactive to Predictive

The shift from scheduled hauling to on-call pickups demonstrated the tangible value of implementing a predictive compactor fullness monitor. The hotel improved operational efficiency and environmental performance by eliminating unnecessary service and relying on DSQ Pioneer’s predictive technology.
