Case Study - City of Stirling

Case study.

City of Stirling, Western Australia 

Together with the City of Stirling in Western Australia, Matter successfully implemented their waste sensing technology in the City’s high traffic public spaces to collect better data regarding waste collection and logistics.

The goal of the project was to identify inefficiencies in waste collection processes, support smarter urban planning and allow for cleaner and tidier public spaces within the City. 

The project encompassed forty-five waste sensors at Trigg beach and Clarko Reserve. Matter installed volumetric waste sensors in each public bin within the project site, while the corresponding data collected from the sensors was managed through the Capture platform - a web-based application providing near real-time information about waste levels. 

Preliminary results from the trial found:

81%

of public space bins did not require emptying at time of servicing.

Only 7% 

of bins need servicing during wet weather periods. 

Significant

people and fleet efficiencies could be implemented to reduce costs.

At Thanksgiving, food is the main event. But despite all the effort that goes into buying and preparing a turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie, some 312 million pounds of food will end up in the trash this week. That’s roughly $600 million worth.

Matter is proud to pilot their storm water pit sensors with the City of Monash , a moderate sized council in Melbourne. Ambition: Teaming up with City of Monash for a storm water pit sensor trial, to track water levels, events and help with flood mitigation. Priority move: Trial sensing storm water pit information and displaying this on our Capture dashboard for convenient viewing. Matter Objectives: • provide measurement systems (Sense) • provide measurement data (Capture) • provide novel monitoring systems (inc CaptureOS) Preliminary results from the trial found:
