Top of page What are the benefits of automated garbage cart collection?
• Cost savings in the long term because automated collection is more efficient than manual collection. • Fewer litter, odour and pest problems because the carts have lids. • Provides a safer work environment for garbage collectors. They will not suffer from the typical injuries that go with repeatedly lifting heavy objects into a truck (e.g., leg, back and shoulder injuries). Nor will they risk injury from sharp objects in garbage bags (e.g., hypodermic needles, broken glass, nails).
