Freight Best Practice News Update

Waste Collection Guide Published...

...by Freight Best Practice

Freight Best Practice has recently published a FREE Guide designed to help Waste Collection Authorities (WCAs) improve the operational efficiency of their operation through best practice advice. The Guide entitled 'Improving the Efficiency of Waste Collection Operations with CVRS' outlines, through the use of real life Case Studies, how technologies such as Computer Vehicle Routing and Scheduling (CVRS) can improve the efficiency of collection rounds, therefore saving WCAs fuel and money.

The Guide also highlights the importance of measuring, monitoring and managing Key Performance Indicators and aims to help promote the potential savings that can be achieved by WCAs working more closely with neighbouring authorities. Additionally, the Guide sets out an action plan for redesigning rounds and contains an impartial comprehensive list of computer applications suitable for remodelling waste collections.

This Guide along with all Freight Best Practice publications is completely free of charge, and can be obtained by calling the Freight Best Practice Hotline on 0845 877 0 877. Alternatively, it can be downloaded from the website
