Los Angeles to provide opportunities for vendors of smart waste management solutions

Los Angeles has adopted Smart Waste Management (SWM) solutions and is looking forward to expanding the SWM program to other vendors apart from Bigbelly. LA Sanitation (LASAN) handles waste management activities for single-family and multi-family (less than 4 units) establishments. Franchises (haulers) handle waste management activities for multi-family (with 4 or more units) and commercial establishments. Athens Services, Republic Services, Waste Management Inc., Universal Waste Systems, NASA Services, Ware Disposal Company, and CalMet Services are responsible for waste collection, transfer, recycling, processing and disposal for multi-family and commercial establishments till 2024. However, changes in the Chinese import policy have led to increased waste processing costs and higher volumes of waste being disposed in landfills. Other waste management challenges include hygiene-related issues, due to illegal dumping, increasing complaints about waste pick-up services, and unrest around higher service fees charged by haulers.
