Teignbridge District Council - Achieving greater efficiency

Efficient refuse collection clearly has benefits to the taxpayer. That’s why Teignbridge District Council (TDC) is using ArcGIS from ESRI – combined with GPS, OS MasterMap Integrated Transport Network data and other property information – to analyse and optimise refuse collection routes.

To date, TDC has been able to save £20,000 by spreading workloads more efficiently between crews and reducing fuel consumption. And further optimisation puts the Council on target to deliver cashable savings of some £110,000 per year.
