Increase efficiency and sustainability at your campus

Waste collection management at University campuses

Sensoneo’s waste fill-level monitoring solution offers university campuses in the US a powerful tool to optimize waste management operations and improve sustainability efforts. By leveraging real-time data collected from single sensors installed on both general and recycling containers, universities can make informed decisions to right-size containers, reduce costs for waste disposal, and increase efficiency.

Benefits:

Reliable Dumpster Monitoring: Sensoneo’s solution provides accurate and real-time data on fill levels, enabling universities to optimize waste collection schedules and right-size containers.

Service Verification: The university gains assurance in waste collection services, ensuring pickups are conducted on schedule and reducing the likelihood of missed collections or unexpected costs.

Cost Savings: By optimizing waste collection frequency and container sizes based on actual fill levels, the university can achieve significant cost savings. The pilot study for a public university with a student enrollment of over 20,000 revealed an estimated ROI of $266 per container per month and potential yearly hauling savings of $89,519 on 28 bins.

Data Results:

After an 8-week pilot study, the university obtained valuable insights:

• 18% of waste collections were missed, highlighting the inefficiencies in the previous system.
• On average, bins were filled to 62% capacity at the time of collection, indicating opportunities for optimization.
• A diversion rate of 40.5% was achieved using actual data, providing accurate reporting on waste diversion efforts.

Impressed by the pilot results, the university decided to implement Sensoneo’s solution campus-wide. They recognized the value of service verification and the potential to accurately track waste diversion into recycling. As more containers are brought online, the university anticipates further improvements in waste management efficiency and cost savings.

Sensoneo’s fill-level monitoring solution empowers universities to revolutionize their waste management practices. By leveraging real-time data, universities can optimize collection schedules, and right-size containers, and accurately report on sustainability efforts such as waste diversion rate, leading to significant cost savings and environmental benefits.
