Case Study: Homewood Disposal saves $25,000 and streamlines multi-location operations with Collective Data

Homewood Disposal saves money and improves processes across multiple locations with the help of Collective Data software

Homewood Disposal, a 50‑year‑old waste and recycling company based in Homewood, IL, manages a mixed fleet of 1,000+ assets across multiple locations. Facing largely manual, spreadsheet‑based tracking for maintenance, parts and costs, they needed a flexible fleet management system that could adapt to their specific processes and reporting needs.

In 2012 they implemented Collective Data’s collectiveFleet™ (preconfigured with VMRS, automated fuel import and extended asset management), which delivered actionable reporting on repairs, costs and road calls. Early results included returning about $25,000 in excess parts within six months, extended maintenance intervals, better parts price comparison, and standardized processes and vendor accountability across locations.
