Cooee data management reporting system streamlines waste outputs

Aimed at smaller waste facilities – especially those in regional Australia – the Cooee waste facility and data management and reporting system is designed to streamline the various components of managing waste.

Developed by ASK Waste Management, the system came about to fill a gap in the market for the smaller waste landfills and Resource Recovery Centres which, at best, guestimate the amount and types of waste arriving at the gatehouse, said company director Giles Perryman. 

The system is currently being used by Strathbogie Shire Council. It has been in place for a few months, and Waste Management Officer for the Shire, Michael Young, is full of praise for the system.

“It’s been a game changer for us,” he said. “We’re a small regional council with a low, sparse population. We operate seven supervised Resource Recovery Centres of varying sizes. These facilities ensure we provide essential waste services to our community, especially as nearly 40 per cent of properties in our Shire don’t have access to a kerbside service.” 

Prior to the Cooee data management , these sites all used manual receipting procedures, with an Excel spreadsheet printed out that operators would fill in. However, Young said these were constantly rife with errors.
