Industrial Facility in Winston-Salem Cuts 75% of Trash Hauls with DSQ Pioneer Compactor Monitor

An industrial facility in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, was operating on a fixed biweekly compactor pickup schedule, resulting in wasteful and unnecessary hauls. Without knowing how full the compactor actually was, the facility was incurring recurring charges regardless of actual need.

The DSQ Pioneer Compactor Monitor Solution

After installing the DSQ Pioneer Compactor Monitor, everything changed. The system immediately began tracking real-time fullness levels and revealed that the compactor hadn’t reached capacity even after 10 weeks.

Under the previous biweekly schedule, the site would have paid for five hauls during that period—all avoidable.

The Measurable Impact

By switching from a set schedule to predictive monitoring, the Winston-Salem facility achieved:

Haul Reduction

DSQ Pioneer's predictive model cut hauls by 75%.

Net Savings

By eliminating scheduled hauls, the location has saved 75% of hauling costs.

Average Pickup Weight

Average tonnage has increased by 256%.

GHG Emissions

The location has reduced its GHG emissions by 75%

Smarter Forecasting, Longer Intervals

Thanks to DSQ Pioneer’s predictive model,the facility now forecasts hauls based on actual compactor fullness. When this case study was being written, the compactor was at just 49% full, with the next haul not needed for another three weeks. That means this site went from hauling every 14 days to projecting intervals of more than 70 days.
