Barbara Hamilton, System Sustainability Manager at Palomar Health, states “when I was
looking at the data in the Key Green Solutions dashboard, I noticed that our Palomar
Downtown campus was paying twice as much per ton as the other two campuses for
municipal solid waste, (regular trash). Upon closer inspection, and because all the information is in the same place and easy to compare, I noticed that the waste compactor at Palomar Downtown campus was being picked up for disposal 3 times per week, and it only needed to be picked up one time per week. Apparently the schedule had never been changed after the move to Palomar Medical Center. By catching this in the software and reducing that service, we are now saving over $20,000 per year. We made a similar adjustment at Palomar Medical Center and reduced service by one day and are saving an additional $10,000 at that campus.”
