ANPR aims to stamp out commercial use of Somerset’s Household Waste Recycling Centres
A Dallmeier ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) system and digital CCTV storage system, supplied by Norbain SD, has been used to reduce the amount of commercial usage at the Household Waste Recycling Centres in Somerset. It is expected that the move will save the County Council around £35,000 over the coming year and has allowed the Authority’s contractors, Viridor Waste Management, to make the most effective use of their resources.
Viridor Waste Management is one of the UK's leading waste management companies. Currently operating 25 regional landfill sites, numerous regional recycling facilities and 180 waste processing sites UK-wide, it provides a full range of waste management services. Contracting for Somerset County Council, Viridor manages 18 Household Waste Recycling Centres in the Somerset area.
With an aim of reducing the cost of illeagal deposits by at least 10% every year, the Council needed a solution that would help them prevent commercial companies from using the sites. Whilst the fight against illegal deposits of commercial waste was at the forefront of the Council’s decision making process in implementing the ANPR system, both the Council and Viridor also wanted to find a method of enhancing on-site skip management, site security and improving health and safety for the general public and site personnel.
