COLLECTION ROUTING & OPTIMIZATION

“If you don’t measure it, you can’t manage it”

-words to live by according to Don Ross, KCI’s Operations Director

YOUR CHALLENGES

  • Collection operations are the single largest expense in solid waste management systems
  • Solid waste collection ranks in the top five most dangerous profession in the U.S., ahead of police, fire, and first responders.
  • No other municipal service is more visible than solid waste collection, where workers are in front of every resident’s home multiple times each week.
  • It is critical to complete independent, thorough, and accurate collection studies.

“The KCI team brought extensive knowledge and expertise to the City’s project resulting in significant value to the City. They were thorough in their efforts, on-time, and within budget.  I wholeheartedly recommend KCI.”
