Let’s say you own a business. It can
be anything from a retail establishment to a warehouse distribution business, to
a restaurant. You have to pay the waste management/waste hauling company every
time they come by to haul away your garbage. But your business ebbs and flows,
which means sometimes your dumpster is overflowing and sometimes it’s only half
full. Like it or not, you’re going to have to pay the same amount either way. You
know that compactors can help reduce the number of pickups and in the end it can
save you money. But what you might not
know is that with an internet connection and a few smart sensors, you can save
even more money by scheduling a pickup only when your dumpster is actually
full. How much can this save your business from a trash hauling standpoint; 10%
20%? 30%? With this kind of technology, you could cut your trash bill by as
much as half.
