What you Always wanted to know about Waste Management Trucks
Waste management trucks get a bad name. These trucks are typically thought of as loud, noisy, rumbling industrial monstrosities. They are not exactly the most pleasant to look at either. That said, there’s a lot to waste management trucks that you might not be aware of.
In Toronto alone, every day, hundreds of waste management trucks hit the road. Throughout the GTA, these trucks are tasked with collecting waste from condo buildings, construction sites, commercial businesses, residential homes, demolitions, renovations, and more. Every day, thousands of customers across Toronto are serviced. In fact, Toronto is one of the busiest cities in Canada when it comes to waste management. Toronto’s own Core Mini Bins is proud to be included among the waste management truck companies who serve the region. Making hundreds of stops across Toronto, hundreds of tons of waste are processed every day by these trucks.
Inside Core Mini Bins’ waste management trucks, there’s a lot to process. To begin with, the onboard computers we use in our waste management trucks help to direct drivers to different sites across the area. These tablets also help to track real-time data on location, customers serviced, and materials processed. Connecting to the dispatch center, this also makes it easier to communicate and ensure any immediate customer needs are resolved in a timely fashion. Also, service orders are easily assigned and, this way, waste management pick-up orders can sometimes be picked up same-day. At times, there may be issues at commercial sites such as dumpster rental bins being blocked. When there is, a call to the dispatcher can oftentimes help resolve the situation or at least provide an update on schedule.
Every truck is also equipped with a waste management safety standards manual ensuring the driver adheres to the strictest standards when handling pick-up and drop-off. Needless to say, safety for our drivers, and the neighborhoods and communities they serve is imperative. In addition, paperwork inside detail maintenance and inspections performed on the vehicle. Ensuring the vehicle is in proper functioning order is also a necessity, prior to any project.
Though we can’t give away all of our secrets, these are just some of the items found within our waste management trucks. As the years continue to pass us by, technology is becoming increasingly useful to us. High-tech gadgets are already implemented in some cases and there are no doubt more on the way in the decade to come. For example, driver cameras to capture unsafe conditions, risky behaviour, and driving conditions is not far off. Routing software through existing onboard technology can also help us to optimize service delivery in the Toronto region.
In Toronto, with the high number of condo developments, small businesses, multi-national corporations, construction sites, and ongoing general development, waste management trucks are almost always on the road. As trends in waste management continue to change and recycling processing sees its own increase, expect to see more of these trucks through the streets of Toronto.
As one of the fastest growing waste disposal companies in the city, Core Mini Bins is proud to share some of its waste management truck background with our readers. Remember, for all of your waste management, recycling, and disposal needs, don’t hesitate to give Core Mini Bins a call today to speak with a representative.
