$2,600 Saved in Just 60 Days: North Carolina Industrial Facility Transforms Trash Strategy with DSQ Pioneer

In Winston-Salem, a manufacturing facility was stuck in a costly routine, hauling its compactor every week, regardless of how full it was. With lightweight waste like plastic wrap and recyclables making up most of its trash stream, these frequent pickups were light, inefficient and expensive.

The Monitor Solution

Once installed, the DSQ Pioneer Compactor Monitor learned from the facility’s compactor behavior. It quickly became clear: the compactor didn’t need weekly service. Instead of defaulting to the old schedule, the system shifted to on-call pickups, extending the interval to 66 days based on fullness levels.

The Results (and Savings)

In just two months, the facility saw dramatic improvements:

Haul Reduction

77% of pickups avoided in 60 days with DSQ Pioneer’s predictive model.

Net Savings

By eliminating scheduled hauls, the location has saved $2,600.

Average Pickup Weight

DSQ Pioneer compactor monitor has increased the average tonnage by 183%.
