Smart Waste Management · Parks and Green Spaces

Smart waste management in parks and green spaces

Smart waste management in parks and green spaces starts with the right capacity in the right place. EWF ECO helps you combine smart trash cans, fill-level sensors, and source separation for sunny weekends, picnics, and events. Customize placement and emptying schedules based on how the park is used throughout the year.

Start with the everyday life of the place

Plan for the weather, the season, and visitors

Capacity for Sunny Days

Swimming areas, picnic areas, and snack bars can experience sudden spikes in usage. Design the facilities based on the actual use of the site.

Fewer unnecessary inspection rounds

Fill level data can help prioritize among widely dispersed containers and improve emptying schedules.

A place where people stop

Clear sorting and proper placement help visitors manage their waste while playing, eating, and resting.

How the solution works

Smart trash cans, sensors, and recycling

Combine higher capacity at high-traffic locations with sensors where existing bins are suitable. Monitor usage over time to adjust placement and emptying schedules between peak and slower periods.

The right solution can combine several components. Product selection and connectivity are tailored to the site's specific conditions.

Source sorting

Collect relevant waste fractions using clearly marked chutes and labeling. Adjust capacity and emptying frequency for each station.

The right solution in the right place

Place trash cans where waste is generated

Picnic areas and kiosks

Collect relevant waste streams near seating areas and food vendors.

Playgrounds and park entrances

Place the stations so that they are easy to find and use, with unobstructed walkways.

Swimming spots and walking trails

Plan for capacity and service access during hot days and when visitor numbers fluctuate significantly.

Event Spaces

Assess the need for additional capacity and waste removal before, during, and after the event.

Make it easy to sort correctly

At picnic areas, kiosks, and swimming spots, the recycling bins need to be easy to find and understand. Choose recycling categories based on the type of waste and applicable requirements, and monitor labeling, improper sorting, and emptying procedures.

From Need to Successful Operation

Start small. Track the results.

1. Survey the site

Choose a park or a few locations where the amount of trash varies significantly. Document trash collection, littering, and differences between weekdays and weekends.

2. Choose a plan

Customize bins, sensors, fractions, and placement. Determine who monitors the information and how emptying should be prioritized.

3. Follow up and make adjustments

Compare waste collection, littering, and labor input. Use the results to adjust procedures and determine the next steps.

Questions and Answers

Frequently Asked Questions About Waste Management in Parks

No. Start with the vessels where the load is high or difficult to predict. The other vessels can remain as they are if they function well under existing procedures.

Monitor usage over a representative period and adjust the emptying procedures. If there are significant seasonal variations, capacity and location may also need to be reviewed.

No. Compaction is a choice that depends on the model and fraction. Choose a solution based on the type of waste, the desired sorting method, and the on-site conditions.

Filling information can help you group pickups together and avoid certain unnecessary trips. At the same time, assess service routes, distances, and how visitors move around the area.
