City of Titusville, Florida – Solid Waste Business Plan Development
The City of Titusville provides bi-weekly curbside refuse collection, as well as weekly recycling, yard waste and every-other-week bulky waste collection to both single family households and multi-family properties. The City also provides manual and containerized refuse collection to commercial businesses. MSW Consultants is currently assisting the City of Titusville evaluate the operational and cost impacts of converting from manual refuse collection to semi-automated or fully automated collection. Using our proprietary collection routing model, MSW Consultants is projecting the routing, staffing, and vehicle needs for multiple alternative collection technologies.
Previous to the current engagement, MSW Consultants principal John Culbertson managed a comprehensive review of the City’s solid waste collection system for the purpose of developing a 5-year Business Plan governing operational and financial performance of the solid waste enterprise fund. Staff member Walt Davenport lead the collection productivity and solid waste fleet management review performed in the early stages of the project.
During Business Plan development, Mr. Culbertson and Mr. Davenport performed field observations of collection practices, benchmarking against other local and Florida communities, and made a detailed performance comparison against the contracted hauler serving the surrounding county unincorporated areas. At the time the Business Plan was originally developed, the City was found to be generally competitive, but that improvements were possible in the yard waste and bulky waste collection systems.
