Why Do Some Garbage Trucks Have ANPR Cameras?

You may have noticed that some of your local garbage trucks have ANPR cameras fitted to the front. This article will explain what these are for and how they help councils to improve their waste collection services.

ANPR cameras are used to automatically read the number plates of vehicles. This information is then sent back to a central database where it can be used for a variety of purposes. In the case of garbage trucks, the information is used to track which homes have put their bins out on which days. This helps the council to know when they need to send more trucks and how many homes they need to collect from.

The cameras also help to catch people who are illegally dumping their rubbish. If a camera captures a number plate, the owner of the vehicle can be traced and fined. This helps to deter people from dumping rubbish and keeps our streets cleaner.

Bin trucks also have a high likelihood to pick up abandoned vehicles. If an ANPR camera captures the number plate of an abandoned vehicle, the council can send a tow truck to remove it. This helps to keep our streets clear of hazards and makes it easier for the bin trucks to do their job.

As the bin trucks make their way around the local streets, the ANPR cameras will also collect valuable data that the city can use for asset utilisation and future road and traffic planning. The bin trucks will be surveying the vehicles, collecting the number of cars going along street, all which the council will collect and use.

Overall, ANPR cameras fitted to garbage trucks help to improve waste collection services by providing data on which homes need to be collected from and by deterring people from illegally dumping rubbish. This helps to keep our streets clean and safe. Do you think your city should fit its bin trucks with ANPR cameras?

ANPR cameras are a valuable tool for councils in managing their waste collection services. They help to track which homes have put their bins out on which days, and they also help to catch people who are illegally dumping their rubbish. This helps to keep our streets cleaner and makes it easier for councils to provide a good waste collection service.
