LTP FY18 Annual Report-2

Waste Management
In FY18 Waste Management Services (WMS) replaced three front load
refuse trucks and also purchased a dedicated truck for food compost
collections. It is projected that WMS will collect close to 1,000 tons of
food compost annually.
Beginning in FY19, WMS will use a new software program for billing and
routing. The system was piloted this FY and will replace the current
manually loaded system used for tracking collections.
This software system allows our drivers to upload collections directly into
the database in real time while on route. The software is also set up to
capture frequently used metrics that greatly simplify the ability to obtain
key reporting data for both WMS and OCS. The billing process is also
improved, with most functions going from manual to automated entries.
