Route Optimization in Solid Waste Management

Everyone Benefits With the Most Optimized Waste Collection Routes!

Greater Operational Efficiency, More Cost Savings, Less Environmental Pollution, and More

Call Route Optimization Consultants To Get the Most Efficient Route Optimization for Solid Waste Collection

When the people – like you – in charge of collecting trash, recycling, and other municipal solid waste plan better collection routes, the end result is that everyone involved reaps the benefits – the waste collection company, its drivers, and its customers.

Your company’s bottom line benefits from expert route planning, too.

Route Optimization Consultants are the national experts in software-powered route optimization for high-density municipal solid waste management. No longer should you rely upon the inadequacy of paper maps, or the inefficiency of hand-drawn routes. Let’s work together to develop the best possible routes your collection vehicles could take.

What Are the Benefits When You Optimize Waste Collection Routes?

Sending Each Waste Collection Vehicle on an Optimal Route Will Save Time and Money

One thing matters more than anything when finding an optimal solution to a solid waste collection system: Efficiency.

Being efficient means everything. How quickly can your fleet of collection vehicles traverse their routes? How much garbage can they transport to the transfer station? What’s the minimum distance each collection vehicle can travel and still hit every point along its route?

Route optimization for a municipal solid waste collection system provides the best answers to these questions – and Route Optimization Consultants finds those answers!

There’s good reason to optimize collection routes. In fact, there are several.

Lower Operational Costs

In the world of integrated solid waste management, the collection routes traversed by their drivers has a direct correlation with the costs of sending out those drivers. Management companies realize significant cost-savings when their drivers drive optimized routes.

Reduce Fuel Consumption

Do more with less. When your collection vehicles drive optimal routes, they burn less fuel. That has a positive impact on your overall operational cost and on the environment.

Make Less Environmental Impact

Environmental protection is everyone’s responsibility. By having your collection vehicles driving more efficient routes, the amount of environmental pollution emitted by those vehicles is necessarily reduced.

Collect Wastes Faster

Our software-driven route optimization process results in the most efficient collection routes for your municipal solid waste management system. That means your garbage trucks can collect more waste in less time, then transport the collected garbage to the disposal facility – then come back for more, if needed.

How Do We Optimize Routes for Your Solid Waste Collection System?

It Takes Dynamic Programming and Technical Know-How To Create Optimized Scenarios

What we have here is a textbook vehicle-routing problem – and it can get real complicated, real fast.

You already know route planning is an arduous, difficult task. If you’ve ever sat down with a sheath of road maps and a pen, you know that route optimization for solid waste collection is extraordinarily complex mathematically (and that you should probably use a pencil).

Modern software technology provides an invaluable assist – and Route Optimization Consultants is the company to turn to for in-depth knowledge of those software applications.

Software applications like what? Well, we at Route Optimization Consultants are well-versed and experienced in a variety of truck-routing software packages, including EasyRoute, FleetRoute, and RouteSmart. These are top-of-the-line products that use Geographic Information System (GIS) supported optimization to devise routes that really meet the objective function of getting your trash trucks out, around, to the disposal sites, and back – faster.

We Find the Best Routes from All Optimization Possibilities

Your Route Optimization Problem is No Problem When You Work With ROC

As if cost reduction, faster customer service, reduced energy consumption, and less wear-and-tear on each collection vehicle weren’t enough reason to do software-driven route planning, Route Optimization Consultants offers another incentive.

We make route planning easy – because we do the hard work for you.

Actually, there’s no such thing as a simple vehicle-routing problem. Once you put more than a couple waste-collection vehicles in the picture, set some time windows and define some algorithmic parameters, what you’re faced with is some unbelievably complex math.

Thanks to the (mathematical) magic of computer software, we produce an informative set of customized optimization models that pertain specifically to your situation. Then we work closely with the waste management company to implement the optimal routes, making sure that the generated waste collected during the collection process makes its way to final disposal with as much operational efficiency as possible.

More Efficient Routes Means Lower Collection Cost

ROC is Your Key Partner for Route Optimization in Solid Waste Management

Research conducted in the field shows that the collection of municipal solid waste accounts for 85% of the total cost of the entire waste management operation. That means there’s plenty of cost savings to be gained by optimizing collection routes.

At Route Optimization Consultants, we understand the needs of solid waste management companies. We get why you’re coming to us, and we’re driven to improve your company’s bottom line. In our estimation, the best way to do that is to make sure your drivers are driving optimal collection routes . . . in the least amount of collection time.

Time is money. By saving you time (and fuel), we’re saving you money. Optimizing the transportation route for solid waste collection really does cut operation costs.

Route Optimization Consultants are your go-to experts for optimizing solid waste collection routes. You give us the proposed framework, population density, distance to disposal sites, and time windows, and we’ll give you the most efficient routes possible. That’s how you save time and money.
