Multi-Family Building Found Savings While Looking For Sustainability

A multifamily building in Texas was watching its trash invoices climb, the result of a fixed weekly haul schedule that was consistently pulling the compactor at low tonnage and generating unnecessary greenhouse gas emissions.

After installing the DSQ Pioneer Compactor Monitor, the property gained the data it needed to move to an on-call hauling schedule. The hauling vendor initially pushed back on the change, but the compactor monitoring system's readings made the case clear; more efficient hauls were better for both sides.

Within one year, the property cut hauls by 47%, reduced GHG emissions by 46%, and saved $10,689 in trash invoices.

How did we improve it?

By installing the Pioneer Compactor Monitor, a new hauling strategy was established, transitioning from 1x week schedule to on-call pickups . At first, the vendor challenged the building about on-call pick ups, but as soon as they noticed that avoiding low tonnage weekly hauls was also effective for them, the vendor was happy, and the savings and sustainability efforts started piling up.

The results?

After a year of using the Pioneer Monitor’s predictive model, the average pickup weight increased by 86%, and hauls were reduced by 47%. This resulted in $10,689 saved on trash invoices and a 46% reduction in GHG emissions, making their operations more sustainable.
