Garbage Truck Routing Optimization

ROC Makes Route Planning for Municipal Solid Waste Collection Easier!

Route Optimization Consultants Uses High-Powered Software To Create Cost-Effective, Efficient Routes for Waste Collection Operations

Optimize Routes for Your Garbage Truck Fleet To Save Time and Money

Garbage truck routing is one of the most critical aspects of solid waste management. How quickly your solid waste collection vehicles can drive their routes, handle their pickups, and transport waste to disposal sites will help determine how well you serve your customers – and what your bottom line is.

In the garbage collection business, route productivity is (literally) where the rubber meets the road. Your operational costs – including expenses like fuel consumption, driver working hours, and maintenance costs – vary depending upon how long your fleet of garbage trucks is out in the service area . . . and whether they’re running more efficient routes.

At Route Optimization Consultants, we’re committed to saving our clients time and money by creating optimal waste collection routes for their garbage trucks to run – and we do it using the most powerful route planning software available today.

Advanced Technology Yields Better Collection Routes

Software Applications That Take a Fleet Management System to the Next Level

The vehicle routing problem is nothing new. For over a century, waste management companies have tried to figure out the absolute best solution to work at maximum operational efficiency. It’s an age-old conundrum.

But modern technology makes solving these vehicle routing problems almost easy – at least, it’s easy when you work with Route Optimization Consultants.

The mathematical modelling required to compute optimized garbage truck routes can become very complex, very quickly. Variables such as number of garbage trucks, the number of collection points, the time windows they have to work within, and the traffic conditions they have to deal with, all must be taken into account.

Route Optimization Consultants cuts through the complexity to arrive at the best solution. Using software applications like FleetRoute, RouteSmart, and EasyRoute, the route planning experts at ROC create routes that maximize your fleet’s operational efficiency and result in measurable cost savings.

Make ROC Your In-House Experts for Route Planning

We’re a Valuable Addition to Your Solid Waste Management Team

Today’s route optimization methods are high-tech. They require real-time data and rely on a geographical information system (GIS) for vehicle tracking. These software applications demand a level of expertise beyond what the staffs of many municipal solid waste collection operations have.

Part of the value of Route Optimization Consultants is how we integrate into your daily operation. We work closely with your management team to deeply understand your vehicle routing problem and devise the optimal routes for those vehicles.

Then we work with your garbage truck fleet managers to implement those routes, making sure that you’re getting optimal coverage of your service areas within allotted time windows.

ROC brings unparalleled knowledge, expertise, and acumen to bear on your route planning project. Take advantage of our prowess and make us part of your solid waste collection team.

Throw Those Old Paper Maps Into the Trash Can (or Recycling Bin)

Our Software-Powered Routes Make Paper-Based Routing Obsolete

If your fleet management system still uses paper maps for routing garbage trucks, throw them into the nearest waste containers.

It’s not just that paper maps rapidly become out-of-date, especially in urban areas. It’s not even that paper maps don’t always convey accurate information, such as one-way streets or which alleys are inaccessible to certain vehicle types (like garbage trucks).

It’s simply the fact that software mapping better serves the objective function of calculating garbage collection routes than paper maps ever could. Harnessing the power of GIS and real-time data, route optimizer software used by Route Optimization Consultants produces workable solutions that increase the amount of waste collected while sticking to tight schedules.

No longer are solid waste management companies doomed to old-fashioned methods like paper maps to find the optimal collection route for each of their garbage trucks. Leverage the computing capacity of specially designed software to improve the performance of your solid waste collection fleet . . . and be sure to dispose of those antiquated paper maps properly.

There’s Good Reason To Optimize Each Garbage Collection Route

Less Fuel Usage Means Lower Operational Costs and a Lighter Environmental Impact

There are no negative effects to optimizing solid waste collection routes. When the total distance of the routes traversed by your garbage collection vehicles is reduced, then – obviously – those trucks are burning less fuel and emitting less carbon. It’s a win all around.

Garbage trucks are a necessary component of our overall infrastructure. We need solid waste collection vehicles on the roads, hauling away our trash and recycling to appropriate disposal sites. But garbage collection is a dirty business in more ways than one: A fleet of garbage trucks emits a fair share of carbon into the atmosphere.

Drive more efficient routes, and your solid waste management company will be making significant contributions to reducing the amount of greenhouse-gas emissions that go into the air we breathe.
