When Local Waste Management Company McElvaney
Waste & Recycling came up with the idea of
converting their existing fleet of refuse
collection vehicles to allow them to collect two
types of waste streams together, they tuned to
local well renowned engineering form Moffett
Engineering to come up with a solution.
Together they have successfully completed the
conversion of two truck to date allowing
McElvaney's to begin the task of changing their
collection schedule to the 10,000 domestic
customers they service throughout county
Monaghan.
Hugh McElvaney, General Manager of McElvaney's
Waste & recycling explained:
"We were looking at cost savings within the
company. I saw our truck using so much fuel
travelling the rural roads of county Monaghan 52
weeks of the year. So without affecting our
customer's level of service and still allowing
for 52 collections per year, we said why not
travel the roads only 26 times and collect both
bins at the same time! Moffett's have been great
in coming up with a solution of converting our
up to date fleet of trucks by simply dividing
the main body of the truck in half and so
keeping the waste from mixing with the
recyclable material. So you could say that one
truck has now become two!"
Over the coming weeks McElvaney's will notify
their customers in advance of the changes to
their collection routine and at the same time
assuring them of continued excellent service
that they have become accustomed to over the
past 26 years.
