Most multi-location waste equipment programs weren’t designed from scratch. They evolved over time.
A new service provider was added in one region. A different equipment standard was adopted at another facility. New locations came online with their own processes and vendors. Individually, those decisions made sense. Collectively, they often create inconsistencies that become difficult to see from the corporate level.
The Multi-Location Waste Equipment Benchmark was created to help facilities, operations, and sustainability leaders evaluate how their program compares across five areas that directly influence service performance, equipment uptime, and long-term operating costs.

For many operations, things appear to be working just fine. Equipment gets serviced. Locations remain operational. Vendors respond when something breaks.
The problem is that costs almost never appear all at once. They show up as inconsistent service experiences from one region to the next. Or maybe they show up when a location waits longer than expected for parts. And they certainly show up when equipment performance is not easily compared across sites.
None of these issues are large enough to trigger alarm on their own. Across dozens or hundreds of locations, however, they can have a meaningful impact on operating costs, equipment uptime, and management efficiency.
This benchmark is designed to help you identify where those issues may exist and understand how your operation compares to others managing similar operations.
Answer five questions about how your operation is managed today. You’ll receive an overall score, benchmark-by-benchmark feedback, and guidance on which areas may deserve closer attention. This may sound too simple to be meaningful, but with years of experience in this area, servicing countless customers across North America, we can help point you in the right direction.
5 benchmark categories • 25-point score • Less than five minutes
If you aren’t yet ready for the more personalized experience, you can explore the framework behind the assessment, learn why each benchmark matters, and see the operational patterns that consistently separate high-performing programs from those with unnecessary complexity.

The report expands on the five benchmark categories and explains why they have such a significant impact on service performance, equipment uptime, and total cost of ownership in multi-location environments.
Rather than focusing on equipment specifications, the report focuses on the operational practices that influence results across an entire facility network.
The assessment provides a snapshot of where your operation stands today. The walkthrough provides context.
If it’s helpful, a Komar specialist can review your results with you, discuss the realities of your operating environment, and share what organizations with similar footprints are doing to improve consistency, uptime, and cost control.

Most organizations discover that one or two areas account for the majority of their operational friction. The objective is not achieving a perfect score. The objective is understanding where improvements will have the greatest impact.
