Waste Consultancy
We work with municipalities across England, Wales, and Scotland to streamline their waste operations and help manage them effectively, through the utilisation of data, technology, and operator and customer feedback.
New legislation, climate emergency and difficult budgets need new ideas. We work with councils of all shapes and sizes, creating modern and streamlined services that challenge traditional thinking.
In 2005 we created the first in-cab touchscreen system dedicated to UK waste trucks. We are now a team of 50, dedicated to supporting councils with new ideas, better processes & data-driven decision making.
Subscription Garden Waste
Moving to a paid subscription model for garden waste collections is a common way to generate revenue. It’s also a great opportunity to improve services and establish a new relationship with residents.
Only Bartec Municipal Technologies offer a complete solution, including online and telephone payments, route optimisation, resident communications and automated bin deliveries, permit distribution and annual renewals. We don’t just get your subscriptions up and running, we will build comprehensive processes that minimise ongoing administration and manual intervention.
Food Waste Collections
Simpler Recycling means that free weekly food waste collections must be provided to every household in England from 2026. This will put great pressure on many councils to evaluate and procure vehicles, containers & processing facilities at speed, making choices that will define their operations for years to come.
We can advise on various options for communal and kerbside food waste services, quickly. evaluate different approaches and work with our network of partners to find the best solutions for you.
Communal Waste and Recycling
Often considered “hard to reach”, communal collections have great potential as a source of additional recycling. Under Simpler Recycling they can no longer be ignored and are a highly-visible symbol of an authority’s commitment to innovative recycling and service provision.
The challenges of collecting from high-rise, on-street communal, underground bins or smaller HMOs vary widely. We have a wide experience of all these settings, including stand-alone collections or hybrid communal and commercial routes.
From hi-tech RFID tracking to simple comms campaigns, we can help you improve communal recycling.
Adapting for New Builds
Almost every council will see new housing in coming years, with large developments and continued conversion of existing dwellings. Your existing collection routes may soak this up for a while, but eventually you will need to add capacity, unlock productivity or both. Our experience and tools can deliver sustainable, efficient and balanced routes quickly.
A well-thought-out process for new builds starts early, with automatic notification of new plans and broad estimation of capacity. As development information becomes more detailed you can automatically create bin roll-outs, reallocate routes and plan for any required day changes.
Bulky Waste
Bulky waste collections are getting complicated. What was once a simple service is now made up of POPS, WEEE, metals and specialist collections. At the same time consumers want more from the service. Specific days or even time-slots and premium “short notice” and “carry out” services are opportunities to generate revenue and increase the quality of collected materials.
Our team can advise on how to build a modern, revenue-generating service that will delight your residents.
