Old-school waste collection involves fixed collection routes that are inefficient as containers are often only 30-50% full, leading to overflow and extra costs. Just-in-time collection uses sensors, forecasts, and route optimization to collect containers at 70-100% full, improving performance 2-3 times while reducing costs. However, just-in-time collection requires significant changes to organizations and operations management.
