Comparing Hub-and-Spoke vs. On-Site Compaction for Portfolio Waste

Comparing Hub-and-Spoke vs. On-Site Compaction for Portfolio Waste

For hospitality waste disposal across multi-property portfolios, two models dominate: hub-and-spoke consolidation and on-site compaction. Both can cut cost and improve service—if matched to your density, capital plan, and governance needs. In short: use a regional transfer hub when you can concentrate volumes and want central oversight; deploy site compactors where space exists, routes are thin, and reducing pickup frequency matters most. This guide compares outcomes, costs, and risks, and provides a practical decision framework, a phased rollout plan, and tools to keep diversion high without compromising service. This guide is for operations leaders who want transparent, logistics-first guidance on multi-property waste consolidation and waste routing optimization.
