Case Study - City of Gosnells

Case study.
Gosnells Council, Western Australia
Matter is proud to share the findings of this waste sensing pilot with the City of Gosnells, which – as far as we know – is Australia’s first NBIoT wheelie bin sensing trial.
The pilot deployed 50 sensors across a number of the City’s parks. The sample size is small but
the locations are well spread.
A number of Key Findings came out of the trial, one of the most vital being that substantial time/labour savings could be achieved through operational efficiencies i.e. checking/emptying only ‘full’ bins.
Preliminary results from the trial found:
Only 7%
Necessary bin collections
across this period.
Over 50%
Collections executed
at <10% fill.
$39,793
Annual savings at optimal
collection efficiency.
Recycling habits in the Ashburton District continue to improve but there remain exceptions, with one rogue property abusing both the bin system and the contractors
After several years dominated by iterative product updates and government scrutiny of big tech companies, 2023 turned into a comeback year for tech.
At Thanksgiving, food is the main event. But despite all the effort that goes into buying and preparing a turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie, some 312 million pounds of food will end up in the trash this week. That’s roughly $600 million worth.
