RoundBuilder - Designing Low Cost, Workable Collection Rounds 

Webaspx are leaders in the field of waste and recycling collection round design, working in partnership with top environmental consultants, Entec. We use RoundBuilder to help waste collection authorities and their waste collection contractors develop optimised waste and recycling collection rounds. We are unique in the field.

Our award winning Roundbuilder software results in lower cost, more workable rounds, with even work-loads across crews, and less risky implementations. We build rounds that are optimised whilst taking into account different vehicle types, crew, property types (flats, houses, farms …), assisted collections, difficult to reach properties and other complications. 

Benefits

The benefits of our round design service include:

  • Balanced rounds; i.e. even workloads across crews with optimal utilisation of resources (people, vehicles etc.).
  • Lower cost rounds. We are able to generate major savings by avoiding new spend on vehicles/crews.
  • Lower Risk. We are able to easily model critical “what-if” scenarios: for example “what if the material yield is higher than I expected”. This allows us to find out how robust the rounds are before they are implemented.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Applications

RoundBuilder is ideally suited to:

  • Benchmarking existing round design schemes. In other words, could you do better/more with the same resources?
  • Identification of resource savings or service improvements possible from cross boundary
    collection schemes
  • Introduction of new collection schemes, such as Alternate Week Collections
  • Evaluation of changes to the location of depots and reception facilities

Case Study

For Cheltenham District Council, efficiency and cost were not the only key drivers; producing new rounds in exceptionally quick time were absolutely essential. Vanessa Eagland, Waste and Cleansing Services Manager for Cheltenham Borough Council said of the project: "Overall this was a first class job..” Read more .
