Increasing productivity is a common goal in any industry, and even more so in waste management. With an abundance of regulations, forms and changes coming all the time from the EPA, it is no wonder staying up to date and finding the effort to do so seems so daunting.

In this article, we will share some top ways to increase productivity in your waste management business through technology. Many waste industry professionals have shared with us they spend too much time entering, sharing and managing data from existing systems. That is 1000’s of hours per year of lost productivity (aka lost profitability) due to these inefficiencies.

Other companies tell us that their manifesting process is inefficient. It takes them 2-3 more times longer than it should, which diverts attention from customer activities, and increases human error.

These are just a few examples of areas of impact. It’s not a good place to be in, especially in this industry when the stakes are high with potential fines and serious injuries.
