Food Waste & Recycling

Food Waste Collection

The new rules on food waste collection are broadly welcomed by the industry, but they do create some challenges for local councils – especially when considering the makeup of the existing fleet.

Do you have the most suitable mix of vehicles to manage an increase in food waste collections? Will your current capacity cope with the expected increase in demand?

English local authorities need to conduct modelling of predicted food waste collection tonnages – by household and property type – and match that to their fleet capacity. ISL works with local authorities to model the optimal fleet whether that be a separate fleet for food waste collection or fitting food waste pods on to new RCVs being purchased, as well as a host of other options. Each outcome is unique to the client’s own, local demands.

Using the World leading RouteSmart route optimisation software in tandem with Ordnance Survey data and the client’s own sources, ISL can:

• Model strategic scenarios including new and/or expanded food waste collection services as well as site selection for new depots, transfer stations & emptying locations
• Provide rapid deployment modelling options for last minute service roll outs
