Demand Forecasting – Planning for Tomorrow’s Waste

Waste demand is never static — holidays, seasons, and population growth all cause fluctuations. Without forecasting, operators either over-service (wasting resources) or under-service (risking overflow).

Why It Matters

Demand forecasting combines historical data with AI models to predict future waste volumes and collection needs. This allows for smarter resource allocation and long-term planning.

The Payoff

  • Reduces surprise surges and emergency collections.

  • Optimises fleet and staffing needs ahead of time.

  • Supports strategic growth and ESG planning.


Takeaway: Forecasting transforms waste operations from reactive firefighting to proactive strategy.
