A waste collection contractor can ensure real-time monitoring of door-to-door waste collection, thereby increasing its efficiency and optimal use of the resources.
Waste collection contractors have a huge responsibility to shoulder. Door-to-door collection of waste is not a mean task to achieve. NEC India’s smart waste collection solution uses RFID technology to improve the efficiency of door-to-door waste collection.
In this solution, the waste bins are tagged with RFIDs, an electronic device, and the device triggers an alert when the bins are completely full. The waste collection contractor can then collect the waste bin.
In this solution, the waste collection contractor is armed with a city-level dashboard that provides real-time information about the waste bins that need to be collected. Manual inspection of the waste bins will not be required with the help of RFID technology. RFID readers will provide an indication as to whether the waste bin has to be collected or not.
Smart waste collection solutions can also help the waste collection contractor in optimizing its route. This will help them in reducing the expense of resources like manpower and fuel. GPS enables the waste collection contractor to track the vehicles for better compliance.
The solution also helps the contractor generate analytical reports of waste collection in a particular area. These reports are reliable as they are based on the data combination of vehicle movement and reading of RFID tags. The waste collection contractor can sensitize the people on waste disposal and segregation after reviewing the performance of door-to-door waste collection.
The contractor can also introduce an application and it can ask the citizen to install the application. A call center can also be set up to facilitate the households.
These applications can be used to register grievances about waste collection. CCTVs at strategic locations provide real-time updates to the contractor about incidents. This can help in managing incidents like unauthorized dumping of waste.
