Cost Savings Chart:
 
The Waste Link ® Monitoring System digitally records every waste compactor compaction cycle, and ensures effective, cost-saving handling of the frequency of container pick-ups.

The Waste Link® Monitoring Center communicates with the Wastemaster® Monitor via phone - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year - charting and analyzing compactor container fullness levels.
 
 
The most efficient pick-up time is determined based upon customer needs and hauler response time. When the container is full and ready for pick-up, the hauler is notified by Waste Link personnel.

Charges for unnecessary and costly pick-ups are eliminated.
