Anderson, SC, Saves $20,000 by Optimizing Garbage Collection Routes

The City of Anderson, SC needed to rebalance its garbage collection routes after rapid residential growth overloaded the Monday route, causing overtime and uneven workloads across crews. Instead of paying for a months-long consulting study, the city looked to OpenGov, using OpenGov Asset Management and Permitting & Licensing to tackle the route-distribution challenge.

With OpenGov, city staff used existing data to optimize garbage routes for the next five years, quickly improving workload balance without outside consulting costs. The solution saved the City of Anderson $20,000 and helped eliminate inefficiencies in daily sanitation operations.
