Project Overview
The holy grail for the waste management industry has been being able to charge customers by weight not by the load. Waste management companies must pay the MURF / landfill by the pound for the waste that they deliver for containment. If a 30-yard container is full of feathers it weighs significantly less than a 30-yard container that is full of concrete. The hauler must pay based on the weight of their loads but traditionally have billed by the container which can lead to a significant disparity in profit.
