Challenges

Prior to working with Bristol Waste, Bristol City Council faced inefficiencies from working with multiple suppliers across cleaning, security and waste management. Missed waste collections, inconsistent cleaning standards, and unreliable security coverage increased administrative work and made it difficult to meet KPIs or sustainability goals.

“We were noticing particularly in harder-to-reach areas, like the museums, there were a lot of issues with bins being collected on time”, said Pete.
