We are FCC Nº21

The Moje Smeti service, which translates as ‘My rubbish’, is FCC Environment CEE’s new service for the automatic and electronic recording of the emptying of waste containers. While this new system was put into operation at the end of 2021 on a trial basis at different lo - cations in the city of Trnava (Slova- kia), the start of full operations took place in February 2022. The main aim of the Moje Smeti service is to increase the efficien - cy of waste management from an ecological and cost point of view, and to collect data enabling the op- timisation of waste collection costs. The system should also motivate people to reduce the overall volume of municipal waste by strictly sepa- rating paper, plastics, and biological waste. At the same time, the new service contributes to reducing the amount of waste in landfills and to increasing the amount of materia- lly and energetically usable waste components. The introduction of the Moje Smeti service will also have a positive impact on municipal waste disposal prices for the municipality, and on waste collection fees for the individual. How it functions The volume and weight of waste according to descriptive numbers is automatically recorded by scan- ning RFID chips (Radio Frequency Identification) on rubbish containers using special antennas attached to collection vehicles. The Watchdog system is installed in five vehicles, and dynamic scales in four vehicles in Trnava.
