The missing piece that the waste industry needs and SMART delivers!
Mark Hillis’s recent series examined the current systemic weaknesses in waste infrastructure:
- Poor Behaviour,
- Lack of Data,
- No Accountability because of,
- a Lack of Infrastructure to provide it
These weaknesses hold back advancement and improvements in the waste world.
Molok® is the world’s first and leading semi-underground container. Already, by design the most high-tech, low-tech garbage system, Molok North America has been investing and pursuing technology solutions to advance our already proven waste infrastructure to bring it to the next level and eliminate these issues.
Why?
Because only by making the operations of the waste industry measurable and transparent will we be able to make improvements. Technology can provide for that!
Almost every other industry has advanced technology into its daily operations to bring clarity, improve efficiencies, and take control.
What if your waste system could actually tell you what’s happening on your site?
- Do you know how full your waste containers are day-by-day?
- Are you paying for collections you don’t actually need?
- Who is really using your waste and recycling containers?
- How much waste stream contamination or unauthorized dumping is costing your business?
- Could smarter collection schedules reduce both costs and emissions.
Most waste systems still operate with surprisingly little operational intelligence!
It’s time to introduce SMART from Molok North America, and bring Waste Intelligence into the Waste Industry.
How does SMART work?
Using proprietary technology that measures waste levels and manages bin access - all with reporting insights through reporting visibility allow owners to have real data to measure and improve efficiency and performance.
SMART Sense is the logical first step. Bring visibility to the flow of waste in and out of the containers, along with the data intelligence to drive efficiencies.
By integrating intelligent fill-level sensors into Molok® containers, waste levels can be monitored online.
Once containers reach pre-set capacity thresholds, automated alerts are triggered — giving operators visibility through an online dashboard.
The result? Collection schedules can be optimized based on actual need, helping reduce unnecessary pickups, lower hauling costs, improve operational efficiency, and support stronger ESG performance.
Solving significant and expensive issues while also reducing unnecessary collections.
Illegal dumping is an issue everywhere.
“One of the biggest issues we experienced with the front-end bins was that they were prone to illegal dumping. As a result, bins would often overflow, or material would be left around them, creating an unsightly mess that staff regularly had to clean up, which detracted from the overall appearance of the downtown area.” Town of Newmarket
One garbage bag dropped beside a dumpster attracts more.
Before long, waste accumulates, cleanup costs increase, urban wildlife becomes a growing problem, and the entire area begins to project neglect.
For businesses and communities alike, poorly managed waste areas are more than an inconvenience, they negatively impact appearance, safety, and public perception.
Or what if the problems are a bit more discrete? A commercial plaza where a busy restaurants’ bins overflow and so the restaurant starts using the waste containers of their neighbours who produce minimal waste?
Why not have a Molok® waste station with SMART Access instead?
Intelligent locks that open with digital keys, or key fobs. No power or solar required. Manage access permissions from a secure dashboard with clear time and user stamped data.
Assign dedicated containers to high usage tenants. Consider letting them pay proportionally for the collection their business requires. And in turn, not penalize those tenants who create minimal waste.
Isn’t it time to bring Intelligence into the World of Waste?
Gain clear online visibility into what’s happening across your properties inside your waste containers. Manage access proactively, monitor usage patterns, and validate collection invoices against actual activity and service needs.
- Did it actually happen
- Was it necessary
- Or did the service provider ‘pick air’ and charge you?
Wasting their time, your money, and creating emissions that are unnecessary.
Your data gives you the ability to drive efficiencies. Data with Intelligence becomes Data Empowerment.
“Piloting the Molok system allows us to explore a different type of waste management solution for the area and better support waste diversion in our downtown. It also ensures that only those authorized to use the bins have access.” Town of Newmarket
