Z Sight Dumpster Camera Tech

Rightsizing your waste service has traditionally been a guessing game. One week you’re paying for a half-empty dumpster pickup, the next you’re dealing with overflow and scattered garbage. Most facilities have no way to track waste volume without physically checking bins and manually logging output—and let’s face it, no one has time for that. The result? Wasted money and unreliable service every single month.

But that’s just the beginning. Contamination fees, missed pickups, and poor visibility into waste activity can add up fast. Property owners, tenants, and facility managers often have no easy way to monitor what’s happening with their waste service—until now.

That's where Z Sight comes in. Installed on all ZTERS Commercial Waste accounts, Z Sight is our proprietary dumpster camera technology that takes the guesswork out of waste management. Using real-time imagery and analytics, Z Sight allows us to rightsize your waste service accurately—no more manual checks, no more assumptions, and no more missed service accountability.

Z Sight cameras help reduce waste service costs by up to 30%, while also minimizing contamination fees by identifying problems before service occurs. They provide complete transparency, making it easier to track service reliability and container usage across your locations.

Contelligent Waste Technology

Contelligent (formerly OnePlus) is one of the industry’s most advanced container monitoring and analytics platforms. ZTERS uses Contelligent on all compactors to track fullness levels and automatically alert our team when a haul is needed. This real-time data ensures efficient routing, eliminates guesswork, and supports your sustainability goals.

Here’s how Contelligent works:

Contelligent uses internal compactor pressure readings to monitor usage. As material is compacted, the system tracks volume, trends, and service needs. Detailed reports are generated based on key performance indicators (KPIs), offering:

  • Visibility into your waste and recycling output
  • Automated, efficient pickup schedules
  • Trend identification and performance benchmarking

Together, Z Sight and Contelligent deliver the data and visibility you need to run a cleaner, more cost-effective, and more sustainable waste program.

Industrial Compactors

Inefficient commercial trash service can keep you up at night. When cardboard and packing materials pile up, they create a safety hazard and increase the volume and cost of pickups. Compactors and balers are the first step toward efficient commercial waste management. Our industrial compactors help you:

  • Monitor compactor volume – keep track of fullness remotely
  • Securely manage usage – no unauthorized compacting
  • Create accurate billback reporting for shared environments
  • Accurately report waste and recycling volumes to meet sustainability goals
  • Get real-time reporting and status updates to reduced owntime
  • Avoid having to reach out for service
Industrial and Commercial Grade Auger Compactors.

Auger compactors provide safer waste compacting and can significantly reduce disposal transportation costs by shredding and compacting waste in one machine. Rather than the manual breakdown of materials, which can be time consuming and potentially unsafe, a commercial or industrial-grade auger compactor can break down cardboard boxes, some wood pallets, and general bagged waste through a single input. Auger compactors are available with up to 400 horsepower and either electric or hydraulic drives.

Commercial grade compactors are a popular choice for multifamily housing and multi-use developments, office buildings, and facilities that need a lower volume solution for intermittent waste compaction. With a commercial grade auger, materials are safely shredded and compacted — reducing waste volume and the cost and frequency of pickups.

Industrial grade compactors are best in warehouses and facilities with medium to high volumes of waste. These larger auger compactors can process materials continuously to prevent an unsafe buildup of boxes and packaging waste in industrial facilities.

Give us a call and we can help you select and install the right commercial or industrial auger compactor for your facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Commercial dumpsters are relatively flexible, with different types available for different types of businesses, but there are some major don’ts to look out for. You are not permitted to fill the dumpster with materials that exceed the top of the container. Additionally, common materials that aren’t allowed in dumpsters include (but are not limited) to: Heavy construction debris, liquids of any kind, dead animals, medical waste, radioactive material, appliances, batteries, tires.

ZTERS account managers can help you determine if your facility needs specialized equipment such as compactors. Commercial waste compactors cut down on the volume of waste and frequency of pickups. Let us help you with a waste audit to right size your waste solution and decide if a compactor is right for you.

A good rule of thumb for determining how much space to leave around your dumpster is to take the width and height of your dumpster and double it. This leaves plenty of space for trucks to load and unload with ease. You’ll also need to make sure the delivery truck can safely access the area where the dumpster will be stored.

If your trash exceeds the height of the container, additional costs will be incurred. Overloaded containers can make it harder and more dangerous to load or unload.

Our account managers can help you conduct a waste audit to find out how much waste your facility produces and we’ll help you find the best waste solutions and pickup schedule to meet your needs. We offer many commercial waste solutions, including compactors and Compology camera systems, to help you accurately and efficiently measure and dispose of your building’s waste and recycling.
