Bin Brief – Summer 2021
After what’s been a pretty wet summer, the sun is finally out. And, just as the weather continues to heat up, so too is activity at our factory as local authorities begin to get everything ready as the nation moves towards a less restrictive period. On that point, I’d like to take the opportunity to say ‘thank you’ to our customers for their continued support.

STREET SMART UPGRADE FOR EAST ENGLAND COUNCIL
Huntingdonshire District Council has taken steps to make its waste collection budget work harder after converting 360 of its traditional 110 litre litter bins into smart bins using the latest fill sensor technology. The decision will see almost a third of the council’s 1,200 public litterbins fitted with fill level sensors, which have been supplied by Egbert Taylor and provide up-to-the-minute updates on how full each litterbin is and whether or not it needs emptying. There are currently 100 sensor-equipped litterbins in place following a trial last year, which saw collections reduced from what would have been 13,200 to 9,651…

Cost effective bin procurement in a post-Covid world
By Mark Jenkins, Sales Director at Egbert Taylor By now, there can’t be many people under the illusion that things are going to be easy over the coming weeks, months and even years. The government has implemented a number of commendable measures since March, with the furlough scheme being particularly notable. However, what goes up must come down, and in the case of huge government spending, the money required to pay back the loans will need to come from somewhere. For context, the government had expected to borrow £55bn for the year; we’re currently at £208.5bn and that figure continues…

Win while you’re binning: the case for smart waste collection
by Emmett Reidy, Business Development Director at Egbert Taylor I’ve been working in the disruptive waste technology market for over a decade now, and during that time the bin and market has changed – considerably, I am glad to say. With the advancement in cellular and battery technology, as well as Local Authorities’ openness to embrace and integrate technology into their day to day operations, technology, data and efficiencies are no longer scary words but expectations when looking to meet current environmental demands. The bin has gone from being a simple container to becoming an integral part of the IoT…

Worcester container manufacturer, Egbert Taylor, has appointed longstanding waste industry specialist and former Dennis Eagle CEO, Mike Molesworth, as Chairman.

Derbyshire Dales Council cuts Bin empties by 95 per cent
Overflowing bins, vermin risks and shrinking resources are what prompted Derbyshire Dales Council to replace 115 litterbins with only 42 Bigbelly units – a decision that has since reduced unnecessary bin empties by up to 95 per cent within some parts of the local authority. Matlock Bath in Derbyshire has reduced empties using traditional litterbins from 22,995 per year to only 1,221 in only 12 months using Bigbelly’s smart stations – solar compacting units that increase capacity by up to eight times when full and alert collection teams when they need emptying.
