Smart Waste Collection Optimisation Platform for Municipal Operations
The challenge
Many municipalities still run waste collection on fixed routes. Trucks run half empty in some zones while bins overflow in others, and complaints are often the first sign that service is slipping.
What we built
We built a smart waste collection platform that combines bin sensors where available, vehicle GPS, route plans, service tickets, and map data in one operational view.
Forecasting estimates demand where sensors are missing, and route optimisation builds feasible plans around depot hours, vehicle capacity, and access limits. Dispatchers approve or adjust plans and push them to crews, and managers get consistent reporting on cost, service, and environmental impact.
Business value
- Fewer wasted kilometres and lower fuel use
- Fewer missed pickups and overflowing bins
- Faster reaction to surges and disruptions
- Planning decisions explained with evidence
Where else it applies
The same approach transfers to street cleaning, utility field service, recycling logistics, and delivery fleets. It belongs to our Operations and Route Planning work: vehicles, stock, and production planned around real demand and real risk, not fixed schedules and spreadsheets.
Task
Plan waste collection around real demand, not fixed schedules.
