What is Stop Density?
Definition
The number of collection stops within a given geographic area, typically measured as stops per square mile or stops per route mile.
Understanding Stop Density
Higher stop density means more customers can be serviced with less driving. Residential routes in suburban areas typically have higher stop density than rural routes. Stop density directly impacts route profitability.
Why It Matters for Waste Haulers
Understanding stop density helps haulers price services appropriately and plan expansion into profitable areas. Low-density areas may require minimum service fees to be profitable.
