Overview
TSS Sensitive Freight is Australia's leading sensitive freight transport company. They operate a facility based in Moorebank, NSW where managing bulky waste efficiently is essential for maintaining flow, safety and operational uptime. After reviewing their bin usage and waste patterns, Envirocrush implemented a scheduled Load & Crush compaction service that now reduces their collections by up to 5:1. This approach has significantly cut unnecessary truck movements, reduced costs and improved site efficiency.
Goals
The key goals for TSS Sensitive Freight were:
- To reduce the frequency of skip bin collections
- To prevent predictable overflow that disrupted site loading operations.
- To improve bin utilisation and maintain a cleaner site.
- To reduce transport emissions.
Solutions Delivered
Our engagement began with an initial compaction service to assess bin fill levels and waste types. During this visit, we identified a clear pattern: the bin consistently overflowed at the same point each week, triggering premature collections.
To improve efficiency and reduce costs, we implemented the following:
- Introduced a weekly Load & Crush compaction service at the optimal time to prevent overflow and eliminate unnecessary collections.
- Delivered on-site continuous compaction each week, achieving up to a 5:1 reduction in collections.
Outcomes Achieved
- Major Cost Reductions: With collections reduced by up to 5 to 1, TSS Sensitive Freight now pays significantly less in waste transport fees. The compaction service has become a high-value, low-cost alternative to frequent bin swaps.
- Operational Improvements: Overflow has been eliminated, creating a safer and more efficient working environment. Waste areas remain organised, and staff no longer need to stop operations to manage bin issues or accommodate hauler arrivals.
- Environmental Benefits: Fewer truck visits have directly reduced fuel use and carbon emissions, contributing to stronger organisational sustainability performance.
- Business Impact: TSS Sensitive Freight now enjoys a reliable, predictable, and cost-effective waste management system that supports the fast-paced demands of their freight operations. By targeting when waste overflow is building up, Envirocrush delivers consistent value each week with minimal disruption.
