How to cut your campus compactor waste hauling bills 30% or more, without changing haulers or compactors!
Imagine, starting next month, and every month thereafter, your facilities can reduce waste hauling costs by at least 30%, guaranteed.
How is this possible?
Our automated system alerts the hauler automatically for a pickup only when your container is at a full level, reducing the number of pickups. You save because you pay only for pickups when they are really needed, thereby avoiding premature pickups of less-than-full containers. This system is already in use at facilities worldwide, saving millions in unnecessary waste removal costs.
But wait, it gets even better...
- No school employee will ever need to guess about compactor fullness and call in for a pickup.
- Container fullness is monitored 24/7...you'll never get packed out!
- Automatically adjusts for pickup requests depending on changes in trash volume.
- Universities, research centers, dorms and other campus facilities that use scheduled hauler pickups often see the greatest savings.

Green benefits for the environment as well as your budget...
Compactor Plus doesn't just help you save money, it also supports your environmental initiatives in a dramatic way. Waste hauling trucks are among the most inefficient vehicles on the road, with diesel fuel economies of under 3 mpg. And even worse, they pollute the air and ultimately the water. According to INFORM, "Diesel garbage trucks are a major source of air pollution, including smog-forming compounds, particulate matter, and toxic chemical constituents. While heavy-duty diesel-powered vehicles, including garbage trucks, make up only 7% of vehicles on the road, they contribute 69% of on-road fine particulate pollution and 40% of nitrogen oxide emissions."
Because Compactor Plus reduces the number of trips by these trucks to pick up your containers by at least 20% (and often averaging 40%), it helps to sharply curtail their negative environmental impact.
When you make such an important environmental commitment, it's worth telling your community. To assist, we've provided a sample press release to get you started. (click here to download)
