  • 50% less time to deal with an illegal dump , 50% less time to process a report of an overflowing bin (public waste collector)
  • 1 week gained in collection for the same volumes , 4.5 m3 of edible oil collected per week , 9 days saved to organize a collection (private used edible oil collector)
  • As part of an optimization study, 13.3% of the municipality's collection rounds and 9.4% of its refuse skips were eliminated (public waste collector)

The Financial Benefits

  • 3X less people needed to perform the same tasks (public waste collector)
  • As part of an optimization study, 13.3% of the municipality's collection rounds and 9.4% of its refuse skips were eliminated (public waste collector)
