Waste & material traceability solution for sustainable facilities
In today’s metropolitan cities, millions of people live packed together in densely populated areas and they all contribute to the tons of waste that end up in dumpsters daily. If someone tried to manually manage all that garbage, they would be absolutely overwhelmed; but with the help of municipal waste management software, they could collect the garbage with a fraction of the time and effort!
One of the most commonly found types of garbage in cities are municipal wastes. “What is that?” you may be wondering. Well, the umbrella term “municipal waste” refers to the many different kinds of household, food, school, office, hospital, public place, etc. wastes people throw away. And municipal solid wastes are a subcategory of municipal wastes. They are mainly domestic household items that we use then disregard, such as product packaging, clothing, bottles, newspapers, and appliances just to name a few.
What is most crucial when collecting garbage is that municipality wastes are properly managed, especially in bigger cities. Because if they are not, the rubbish in the bins may overflow onto the streets, causing an unwelcome sight and smell, and pollute the water. If this went on for a long time, it would be devastating to the environment, the animals that live in or around the garbage-afflicted city, and the millions of people that use the polluted water and have to endure the horrible sight and odor of the uncollected garbage. Moreover, the proper municipal waste collection would significantly decrease miscollection and mistask levels (for example, going to dumpsters that are half-full or not filled at all, or the driver of a garbage truck forgetting to collect the rubbish from somewhere), thus automatically eliminating any trips to unnecessary locations and reducing noise pollution in those areas.
In order to avoid the previously mentioned scenarios, the responsible party for waste collection must adopt an effective method. The most efficient way to do this would be to turn to smart waste management and using municipal waste management software. Thanks to modern technology, the people responsible for waste collection are able to monitor and manage their devices, billing, inventory, and regulate safety standards. Additionally, by using municipal solid waste software, they could save lots of time, garbage truck fuel consumption, and other resources by measuring containers’ fullness levels and not going to empty containers; pick the most optimal route for collecting waste around the city; determine the demand (for example, a country with warmer weather would require more frequent waste collection to avoid odor); as well as preventing visual, odor, noise, and water pollution.
Municipal waste management software lends a helping hand to the company that uses it in terms of reducing losses and increasing profits, and to the residents of a metropolitan area by making their lives easier. So, in its essence, waste collection software is more than just business: It is a service for a company, the people, and the environment!
