Most waste oil collectors plan routes on fixed cycles or phone calls. The result: trucks arrive at half-empty tanks — and tanks close to overflowing get missed. This whitepaper documents what changes when tank level data drives the dispatch decision — and why 35% is just the start.
What's inside
- Why fixed collection cycles structurally guarantee inefficiency
- The fill-level threshold that makes a collection economically viable
- Documented results from a two-year pilot with a leading German waste oil collector
- What full fleet coverage makes possible — beyond the 35% already achieved
