Garbage disposal has become a severe problem in urban, industrialized societies. The apparent cleanliness of big cities like Dubai or Abu Dhabi may seem better in comparison to many third-world metropolises, but waste disposal can always be modified for the better.
The most recommended segregate, collect, and recycle method was a large improvement in the way we dealt with waste. Still, countries like Sweden have begun to invest in making their entire process of garbage collection executed using an underground garbage system. Called by its developers as a stationary pneumatic refuse collection system, this new method transports garbage through air pipes. The waste is then sealed in airtight containers so that there is no need for anyone to come into physical contact with the waste. This removes all possibilities of disease, having to deal with unpleasant smells and minimizes a lot of manual work. If you take into consideration all the energy and fuel that goes into the garbage truck and transport system, you will also find that this method of waste disposal lessens the carbon footprint of the whole process as well.
When it comes to automated waste collection in Dubai, the EASY system developed by NORD Engineering, provided by Bluestream, is an advanced waste collection system you could consider investing in. The EASY underground garbage cans fit perfectly into the city pavements and streets, occupying minimal space. They are segregated according to the waste type and are completely watertight. To minimize any possibility of danger, the whole system is designed so that there is no contact between the waste container and the operator. The entire process of collection is very efficient, taking only a couple of minutes. The capacity of the system is also impressive – it can unload up to 1100 liters of containers of waste. The slopes and rise of the city are easily navigated since it is designed to operate on inclined topography.
Most underground garbage collection systems like these can handle multiple types of wastes at the same time. They ideally use different chutes for each type of segregated waste. This ensures complete segregation and makes the process of recycling much easier.
Most of the units of underground systems of garbage collection are similar to traditional garbage cans. The collection of waste can be done with automated trucks, which can be operated with ease by a single person. Underground garbage disposal and collection may just be the way to go to make our cities cleaner and our planet less polluted.
