Question
Is there evidence of bin right-sizing as recycling and reuse programs are established and efficiencies are required with changing volumes across waste streams?
Applicability
Applicable to Office, Healthcare, Enclosed Shopping Centre, Universal and Multi-Unit Residential buildings
Answer
Select all that apply:
Yes – regular visual assessments
Yes – sensors installed
Yes – corrective actions implemented
None of the above
Description
Optimization of service schedules can occur with the assistance of bin sensors (IoT Technology), or by on-site monitoring of fullness levels on the days prior to pick-up and making adjustments based on these visual assessments.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) reductions result when eliminating unnecessary truck trips to sites, and programs are better utilized when schedules reflect correct projected volumes.. The goals is to reduce waste and reduce the number of waste pick-ups needed.
Requirements
- Evidence of a monitoring system for fullness levels, either through regular visual inspections or sensor technology
- Demonstrate corrective action taken to adjust schedules and/or bin sizes
Documentation
Photos of bin fullness levels from visual assessment or sensors
- Correspondence regarding bin schedule or bin size adjustments

Other Notes
IoT technology is more accurate and offers more benefits (such as the identification of contamination in bins and data trend lines), but could be considered proprietary. On-site visual assessments to ensure bin right sizing will also be awarded points
Scoring
1 and / or 2 points, up to 5 Max Points
