RECAP:
Waste Link® is providing a 27% reduction in hauling frequency with annual gross savings of over $14,700. In addition, it eliminates the need for employee participation in determining fullness. Additionally, as the monitor optimizes pickup frequency, the environment benefits from decreased diesel emissions, and this facility saved money related to fuel surcharges which the hauler passed through.
