We imagine there are very few cities if any in North America where people living there don’t see the effects of the continent’s population boom firsthand and see the profoundness of what happens when there’s so many more people living in a region. Waste production is always going to be a part of that, and civic governments need to be very attuned to what sort of advances in waste management practices and technology they can incorporate to better manage the ever-increasing volumes of waste their cities are creating.
This is a need for international big cities too, and if you’ve ever left North America you’ll see how a lot of them have metro populations that are way bigger than ours. Interestingly enough a lot of them do a lot better with municipal waste management and large-scale industrial recycling too. The expertise there is considerable though, and they’ve also got much larger tax bases to work with. Smart solutions and digitization are redefining the way waste is processed, and the way this makes a positive impact on costs, sustainability and efficiency is something we can take interest in here.
As disposal bin rental providers for Trenton and Colborne these are the topics we’ll always like to take note of, and there’s no doubt that private waste disposal companies do a play a part in better waste management at the civic level with the way we ensure that waste is properly disposed of at the proper locations and in accordance with municipal and Provincial regulations. One area where there’s even more of a need to is Hazmat disposal, but that’s another blog entry itself.
What we’ll do here with this one is talk about 6 continuing trends that are driving change in waste management. Think of Load n’ Lift first for a Trenton / Colborne rubbish removal service.
Collection / Treatment Costs for Waste Always Rising
Among the many reasons why the cost of waste collection and processing are going up are inflation, the rising cost of labor and higher energy / fuel prices. There is a high level of regulation in the waste industry and now a lot of it is in response to trends with moving away from landfills and pushing for better recycling.
There’s a lot of talk these days about how waste monitoring systems can cut cost, and they do it by optimizing waste collection routes and frequencies. In some places waste collection vehicle routes have been reduced by nearly 30 %. Smart monitoring the measures bin fullness is in the works too, and this will correlate to better route and operation management too.
More dynamic rather than fixed collection frequency made possible by knowing when a bin is full will be hugely beneficial. Route monitoring is soon to be in use with waste disposal businesses to and that will include Trenton and Colborne dumpster rentals.
Incentivizing Lowered Waste Production / Greater Recycling
Municipalities and housing associations in North America are exploring several options to put into place programs that make for fairer fees for citizens and also motivating them to create less general waste plus only need to pay for the waste they produce. The last part of that is going to sound really appealing to a lot of people, and if that type of improvement can go along with smart bin management then there’s going to be a lot of good that comes of this.
Digitally monitored bin management is also something new, and the hope with it is that it may make a pay-as-you-throw model or one with volume-based fees. This would be very feasible in multi-family dwellings with stratas.
We’ve talked about RFID tags for hazmat disposal in another blog post here , and this technology will be a good fit here too with automated collection control and the possibility of weighing the waste. RFID tags for dumpsters may be a possibility too, and that will go for our disposal bin rentals in Colborne and Trenton too. We’d be keen to see if bin fullness sensors could be incorporated into dumpster rentals Ontario too.
Deposit Return Schemas
Deposit return schemes are the most powerful tool as far as the circular economy goes, with almost immediate effect on collection rates and recycling. In the European Union (EU), there are challenging KPIs (key performance indicators) for beverage container collection (77 % collection goal for single-use plastic beverage bottles by 2025, increasing to 90% by 2029), and DRSs will be obligatory from 2029.
High ESG goals for Factories
Factories are setting higher ESG goals in 1st and 2nd world countries, and in some cases even stricter ones because of what they are now required to do because of governmental regulation. Aiming to meet the Paris Agreement targets is a big part of why a lot of these governments are doing this, and it is a good thing they are.
