Cēsis:
Throughout both the summer and winter seasons, we experience a surge in foot traffic due to tourists and city visitors who come to enjoy our charming old town and its various attractions. This influx of visitors has resulted in an increased volume of waste being deposited into the city’s trash cans, often causing them to overflow and emit unpleasant odors. During the summer months, this situation is exacerbated as birds scavenge for food in the trash, leading to the spread of litter across high-traffic areas, tarnishing the city’s aesthetic appeal. In essence, our primary challenge is to optimize the management of smaller trash cans, identify locations where additional bins are necessary, determine optimal schedules for emptying and cleaning them, and implement measures to prevent interference from birds and other animals.
Our goal is to maintain a clean and welcoming city center, even during peak visitor seasons, by addressing these critical waste management issues.
Tehnopol Science and Business Park in Tallinn:
Waste is currently collected in a routine-based schedule instead of actual needs. It causes unnecessary unladen waste truck journeys and overfilled bins. Tallinn and Tehnopol’s city area is challenging to transform routine (static) disposal to on-demand, saving 30-50% in waste collection costs and carbon emissions.
