Challenge / Goal
The goal was to test the logistics. Two methods were tested. The first was to have the containers placed and collected on the street outside homes. The second was to have the container dropped and collected at each individual home. The latter turned out to be the best, with the caveat that this was also not the most efficient for apartment blocks.
Solution
Residents were asked to collect certain items and put them in a container, provided by the municipality, which is then collected door to door. Items were sorted and delivered to the entrepreneurs. The challenge for the collector (the waste management company HMS) was in the organisation of the logistics.
