A leading high-volume duplicator of video tapes and other recorded media, needed better of control its use of waste haulers, to ensure that compactor containers were being ""pulled"" only when full.   Their goals were to reduce costs and gain management-level control over how and when haulers were used. With six waste compactors and one compactor used for corrugated recycling, the stakes were high.

The company knew that a more accurate means of fullness monitoring was needed.

COMPACTOR PLUS SOLUTION:

After a thorough review of the customer's needs, a Compactor Plus Full Fax model was recommended.

Deluxe decided to install a Full Fax on one compactor first and monitor the results. Within the first 60 days, the company was recording 25% fewer container pulls. Based on the successful test, all six of their 40-yard container compactors were equipped with Compactor Plus Monitors. In less than a year, the company racked up well over $78,000 in savings, and did so without changing haulers.

These results were achieved with a wide variety of trash, ranging from production waste, to broken pallets, to packing materials. No matter what the type of trash, the reporting results were accurate.

CUSTOMER BENEFITS:

• Major reduction in waste hauling expenses
• Better use of the hauler--only called when needed
• Better hauler accountability
• Less traffic at the loading dock areas, where compactors are located
• All savings and results are clearly documented for management
