A Solution | Cost Analysis | Advancing Automated Trash Collection.

Ingenuity runs on bright ideas!

Fully automated refuse collection on leisure venues is a reality.

Task Process Assessment

At leisure venues, recreational and social activities generate large amounts of refuse. The fact of the matter is that no venue is identical. This influences task progression, accessibility, and service redundancy, escalating the cost of service. It is easy to evaluate work task situations as if they are all the same, but they are not. The ability to accurately replicate the physical exertion and effectively tackle the challenges faced during the task in real-time can only be achieved at multiple offsite locations.

The key to reducing operational costs and enhancing safety lies in optimizing processes and methods. Through streamlining manual efforts and embracing automation, extraordinary benefits are unlocked at every level. When it comes to refuse collection within leisure venues and similar locations, automating current day manual processes yields remarkable results, substantially reducing costs.

Analysis Conclusively Reveals

The City of Scottsdale’s Parks and Grounds Management department accomplished a significant achievement in 2005 through the implementation of a cost analysis benchmark study. The information gathered played a crucial role in evaluating the real-time cost of maintenance across all service areas within the city. The analysis definitively revealed that the cost of emptying a single 50-gallon trash receptacle at a public park exceeded five dollars per receptacle. These findings provided substantial support when creating and reviewing annual maintenance budgets, the department’s cost for service, and previous yearly maintenance budget shortfalls.

For decades, the cost of trash removal within city parks has continued to escalate. The absence of automated machinery, comparable to residential refuse collection, has left Scottsdale without a solution to this problem. The main issue is the reliance on manual labor for performing the task, which is further complicated by equipment, repetitive processes, human limitations, and environmental factors. The City of Scottsdale reached out to manufacturers several times to find a solution for this expensive process, but unfortunately, no new products met the work task application as stipulated by Scottsdale.

— Just because you are doing the work, doesn’t necessarily mean you’re doing it correctly! —

As an example, manually emptying 50-gallon trash containers in a recreational setting is labor-intensive, unpleasant, and chaotic, characterized by its repetitive nature. This approach to waste management is outdated, presenting significant risks, elevated operational expenses, and potential liability concerns.

Trash Removal without Load Transfers

The image above showcases a well-coordinated trash removal process taking place at a soccer field. The collection process is somewhat efficient, except that the additional labor doubles the cost and requires more time. This method of collection requires two employees to lift trash above four feet. The benefit is the ability to consecutively empty all trash receptacles without having a load transfer. It is important to note that the physical task of lifting trash into the dumpster hinders the workers’ speed. The perspiration evident on the employees’ shirts indicates the level of physical exertion involved in the job. Workplace safety is of the utmost importance. Staff performing this work need to maintain a suitable work pace, stay hydrated, and replenish electrolytes to support physical endurance.
