18 Dec 2014 Bin tagging The City has begun a project to fit all 240-litre wheelie bins with identification tags to ensure more efficient service provision and revenue accuracy. The tags will allow the City to monitor each bin serviced and to identify bins that are lost, stolen, or illegally serviced without being City property. The City services in excess of 800 000 wheelie bins each week, and this service is provided by means of personnel, trucks and wheelie bins at a cost of almost R1 billion per annum. In rendering the service, virtually every public street in the entire municipal area is traversed each week. The tagging of bins will allow for the service of each individual bin to be monitored. This will provide the means to improve operational efficiencies and effectiveness in managing labour, vehicles and services because the date, time, and location of each bin lifted will be recorded. The project will be managed by an external service provider, namely RAMM Technologies. RAMM Technologies is currently under tender by the City and provides services to several departments in the Utility Services Directorate. RAMM Technologies will perform a refuse bin identification exercise which will see numerous crews, consisting of RAMM contracted staff, moving throughout the city in various suburbs over the next couple of months. These crews will be tagging each individual refuse bin in order to compile a geo-database of all the City’s mobile refuse bins. Whilst we understand the importance of continuing to deliver our high levels of service excellence, in 2015 the City of Cape Town will keep pushing the envelope implementing new things and working across traditional boundaries in new and exciting ways in order to create innovative, sustainable and effective approaches to the challenges we face. These approaches will be rooted in our commitment to developing solutions which ensure that all of our residents, particularly the most vulnerable, are enabled to make progress possible within their own lives, in their families as well as in their communities.
