Waste collection

In England alone, over 177 million tonnes of waste is generated every year. From weekly household collections, to helping protect the environment through waste prevention programmes, the refuse and waste sector plays an integral role in daily life.

Refuse and waste HGVs are particularly high-risk due to their size and significant blind spots. Add to this the fact they are often operating in busy residential areas with limited room to manoeuvre, it’s not surprising that fatality and injury rates are four times higher than any other sector.

Challenges faced by the waste collection sector

Damage to parked vehicles or infrastructure
Increased collisions due to blind spots
Complaints about noisy reversing alarms in residential areas
