Setting the benchmark for Round Design Cost, “Workability” and Risk 
Webaspx are leaders in the field of waste and recycling collection round design, working in partnership with top environmental consultants, Entec. Our round design service helps 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 technology underpins our Round Design service. It 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
Our round design service 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.
