Case Study - City of Stirling

Case study.
City of Stirling, Western Australia
Together with the City of Stirling in Western Australia, Matter successfully implemented their waste sensing technology in the City’s high traffic public spaces to collect better data regarding waste collection and logistics.
The goal of the project was to identify inefficiencies in waste collection processes, support smarter urban planning and allow for cleaner and tidier public spaces within the City.
The project encompassed forty-five waste sensors at Trigg beach and Clarko Reserve. Matter installed volumetric waste sensors in each public bin within the project site, while the corresponding data collected from the sensors was managed through the Capture platform - a web-based application providing near real-time information about waste levels.
Preliminary results from the trial found:
81%
of public space bins did not require emptying at time of servicing.
Only 7%
of bins need servicing during wet weather periods.
Significant
people and fleet efficiencies could be implemented to reduce costs.
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.
