Poor Recycling Compliance

Only 28% recycling rate due to contamination, lack of education, and insufficient sorting infrastructure.

Limited Operational Visibility

No real-time tracking of waste volumes, truck locations, or processing facility capacity utilization.

Cost Overruns

Operational costs were 40% above budget due to inefficient processes and equipment maintenance issues.

Regulatory Compliance
