Half-Day Seminar on “Automated Waste Collection System (AWCS)”

 

Date: 30 November 2024, Saturday

Time: 9.00 a.m. - 1.00 p.m.

Venue: IEM (Southern Branch) Training Centre, Johor Bahru

 

(This seminar is co-organised with STREAM Environment Sdn. Bhd.)

 

Ever imagine roadside rubbish bins that self-empty, and streets free from visible garbage collection trucks, resulting in a cleaner and more sustainable environment to appreciate? In this session, we will discuss an innovative engineering technology designed to help solve one of the most pressing issues in the world today: solid waste management. The technology, known as the Automated Waste Collection System (AWCS), transports municipal or domestic solid waste through underground or ceiling-height pipes at high speeds from waste chutes or outdoor load stations to a centralized collection station, located away from residential neighbourhoods. The waste, transported through the pipe network, is stored in a fully sealed container that is periodically collected by a conventional arm roll truck. We will explore the various cutting-edge AWCS technologies available to meet the waste removal needs of different types of developments. Additionally, we will discuss the benefits that system sustainability brings to the community and the environment, as well as the challenges we may face in implementing this system.
