In waste and sanitation operations, your most valuable resources are your people and your vehicles. But how do you maximize output while avoiding employee burnout, vehicle underutilization and the costs associated with both? By optimizing waste collection routing, asset utilization and making sure your garbage truck fleet is the right size, you can ease workloads for your drivers, reduce operational expenses and boost efficiency. Route optimization Waste and sanitation route optimization is the act of selecting the most cost- and time- efficient garbage pickup paths for your trucks to drive. With modern routing solutions, you can analyze and select optimal routes with techniques like route visualization, route sequencing and density-based routing. Route optimization enables your organization to save time and money by helping to mitigate potential delays, decrease driver stress and avoid unnecessary fuel burn. Optimized routing also reduces wear on your vehicles by setting them up to only drive the minimum distances required to complete their pickups. Additionally, if one of your drivers finishes their route early, you can maximize uptime by redeploying them to either areas of your community that still need service. All of these increases in efficiency can improve your organization’s customer satisfaction across the board.
