New collection regimes are\u00a0being introduced to maximise recycling,\u00a0and many\u00a0authorities\u00a0have turned to sophisticated route optimisation to deliver more efficient collections.

From what we&#8217;ve seen, the quality of many calendars\u00a0have simply not kept pace with the complexity of changing collection regimes, and that&#8217;s influenced our decision to develop this\u00a0new service.<\/p>\n<p>We can help you do\u00a0better.
