Cascais approached SmartBin with the clear objectives to: (1) install smart waste monitoring with their 400 Sotkon Waste Systems underground recycling bins; (2) provide optimized collection routes for drivers by integrating SmartBin Live with their existing fleet management system; (3) reduce the cost of collection; and (4) sustain the town’s scenic beauty and keep citizens happy by eliminating over-flowed street bins. By investing in SmartBin’s solution, the municipalities of Cascais are on track to save up to €900,000 on their collection operation in this year alone. Their investment in SmartBin will be paid back in approximately 6 months while reducing collections by up to 50%, improving resource management, eliminating over-filling of bins, reducing CO2 emissions, and limiting the number of trucks needed on the roads.
