North Carolina Industrial Facility Cuts Hauls by 60% with DSQ Pioneer Compactor Monitor

The Challenge

An industrial facility in Winston-Salem, NC, operated on an every-other-week pickup schedule for its stationary MSW compactor. Regardless of how full the 40-yard compactor was, hauls occurred twice a month. One pickup was as low as 1.05 tons.

The Effective Solution

The facility installed the DSQ Pioneer Compactor Monitor in October 2024. Within weeks, the compactor monitoring system started analyzing compactor fullness in real-time, allowing the site to transition to a predictive self-scheduling system.

DSQ Pioneer shifted the facility away from routine pickups and toward optimized, on-call hauls based on actual compactor usage.
