Collection system design

Collection is typically the single most expensive component of any solid waste management system, making its design one of the most consequential decisions a community or business can make. GBB helps clients design efficient, cost-effective collection systems tailored to their specific needs, evaluating routing, vehicle and container selection, collection frequency, crew sizing, and service area logistics to minimize costs while maintaining reliable service. Whether designing a new system or optimizing an existing one, GBB draws on strong field experience to identify inefficiencies, reduce operating costs, and improve service quality. The result is a collection system built for long-term efficiency and financial sustainability.
