Many communities and private hauling companies have implemented automated collection to take advantage of its lower overall collection costs, increased efficiency, upgraded customer service, and reduced employee turnover and injuries. Others are still evaluating whether going automated is right for them.

Until now, there has been no single resource to which individuals could turn for guidance in evaluating automation. Heils white paper, Automated Refuse Collection, is designed be that resource, offering information on automated refuse collection to communities, independent haulers, and national hauling companies of all sizes.
