Case Study: Ellis County achieves faster scale transactions and streamlined billing with WasteWORKS

Ellis County - Customer Case Study

Ellis County Solid Waste operates a landfill and transfer station north of Hays, Kansas, that ships municipal solid waste nearly 200 miles to a landfill in Topeka. The county—having chosen a transfer station over a costly lined landfill—faces seasonal surges of storm and construction debris (including frequent tornado-related loads) and relied on manual scale tickets, time-consuming data entry, basic customer statements, and hand-calculated reports.

To address this, Ellis County implemented WasteWORKS software from Carolina Software. The system automated scale transactions, produced detailed customer statements, streamlined receivables, and delivered on-demand reporting and outbound tonnage tracking, eliminating many manual steps, saving hours of labor, and improving accuracy and operational flexibility.
