Top Challenges In Waste Collection
The waste collection process faces several roadblocks that disrupt operations, hurt profitability and impact the environment
01
Missed Pickups
Missed trash pickups lead to operational delays, increased costs, and customer dissatisfaction. US Metro areas could have around 1600 missed pickups a month with annual fines for haulers of $1.4 Mn
02
Excessive Landfill Fees
In the US, landfills charge solid waste haulers a fee based on tonnage of trash dumped. Overflowing bins lead to about $3 Mn excess landfill fees, increasing costs and impacting profitability.
03
Trash Contamination
High contamination rates in recycling streams lead to higher processing costs and potential fines for haulers. Contaminated loads impact waste sorting operations and hurt the planet.
04
Route Inefficiency
Inefficient waste collection routes lead to increased fuel consumption and operational costs. Non-scientific routing adds over 15% to monthly truck fuel consumption for trash hauling.
