AUTOMATED WASTE COLLECTION SYSTEMS - POSSIBILITIES, TRENDS AND APPLICATION
Abstract
Sustainable waste management promotes less waste generation, reuse and recycling as well as waste recovery. This includes more intelligent methods and systems using for waste managing and processing. This paper presents a literature review regarding information about trends and possibilities for their application. Such technology has the power to completely displace conventional methods for the collection and transportation of household waste. However, a more detailed study the advantages and disadvantages of such systems is need. In this paper is propose not only a technical explanation of the innovative system operation, but also a detailed interpretation of its advantages and disadvantages, with respect to existing urban waste management systems. Although the transition to such innovative systems is not technically and financially easy, should not be forgotten that a social initiative and cooperation of the inhabitants is needed, so that such projects can be implemented, not only in a new neighborhood, but also in already established residential areas. At first glance, such a transition seems difficult and lengthy, but it can be a significant step towards sustainable urban development, because it takes into account the environment and habitat of society. In addition, this paper discusses aspects of the Automatic Waste Collection Systems and their effects on the environment and human health. Clarifying the above, supposes facilitating all stakeholders, when making decisions, related to urban changes, and better informed about the Automated Waste Collection Systems characteristics.
