Town of Gilbert: Reduction in Trips Saves $1,600 for Solid Waste Department
Louis Andersen - Superintendent - Town of Gilbert
The Town of Gilbert receives 40 to 50 calls a day about missed waste collections. Before Zonar, the Town would automatically send a truck out for a return trip. With Zonar V2 HD-GPS tracking and analysis, Gilbert was able to identify issues such as certain dead end streets susceptible to being missed and customers who, while reporting being missed, had indeed been picked up but were refilling their containers.The Solid Waste Department was able to reduce missed collections trips by 50%. This miles-never-driven achievement resulted in an average savings of $1,600 a day on equipment operating costs and made a positive impact on Gilbert's efforts for going green.
The Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) holds an annual truck Road-E-O that starts with regional competitions and includes a pre- and post-trip inspection contest. The Town of Gilbert attributes its winning streak to Zonar because the kind of inspection Zonar EVIR facilitates has them well prepared. This top ranking performance doesn't manifest itself just once a year in the competition, but in the everyday inspections that contribute to making a safer highway environment.
Town of Gilbert, Arizona: The Solid Waste Department picks up contained refuse from 62,000 residential and 600 industrial customers. They have equipped all their trucks including flatbed, roll-off and automatic side loaders with V2 HD-GPS and use Zonar's EVIR for pre- and post-trip inspections. www.ci.gilbert.az.us
