Massachusetts Property Optimizes Compactor Fullness with DSQ Pioneer Compactor Monitor

A multi-family property in Massachusetts noticed what appeared to be overflowing trash during weekends, even though data later showed the compactor barely ran during that time. Without visibility into performance, the team was scheduling unnecessary hauls and paying for hauls that didn't need to happen.

The Solution

The property installed the DSQ Pioneer Compactor Monitor, which immediately revealed that the compactor's auto-start feature was disabled, preventing it from running automatically when waste levels rose. Once corrected, the compactor monitoring system began tracking fullness and scheduling hauls based on real usage data, ensuring the compactor was fully utilized before each haul.

The Results

• 5 hauls avoided since program start
• $2,500 in avoided costs
• Average haul weight increased from 3 to 5–6 tons, with a goal of 6–7 tons
• Fewer overflow incidents and smoother weekend operation

By using a compactor fullness monitor, the property team eliminated guesswork, improved equipment performance, and optimized every haul.
