Quiet please, let's have some "hush"! Malcolm Bates has just come back from Denmark where he’s driven a new 26 tonne zero-emissions Refuse Collection Vehicle. Is this the future of urban refuse collection? Could be. Except the PVI is available right now ...
In practical terms, this means that every street in the city is visited by a refuse collection vehicle (RCV) not once a week, but once a day as each different faction is collected on designated days. There’s another factor to consider. Aside from fire appliances, Refuse Collection Vehicles (RCVs) are probably the largest vehicles to visit each and every domestic street. When you spell it out, it’s blindingly obvious. But how often do we take that into account? You only get to see a fire appliance when there’s a fire. But an RCV? It’s always there - just when traffic congestion is making life difficult. There are other ingredients to stir into our story. Denmark has liberal employment laws. It takes the health and safety of workers very seriously.
