According to Kirklees Council in the UK, they have already begun operating their all-electric waste collection van. The better news about this all-electric van is that it also runs on power that’s generated by waste. The vehicle is an Edison which is based on the Ford transport platform. It is currently being supplied by Smith Electric Vehicles.

This electric van will be used to transport waste from 25 litter and recycling bins in Huddersfield town center. These wastes will be taken to the EfW (Energy from Waste) Plant along Emerald street in Huddersfield.

The recyclable items, on the other hand, will be driven to Kirklees’ recycling facility along the same street. They will be sorted at the Materials Recycling Facility before being reused.

This operation is functioning smoothly because of partnerships with other companies. The 25 split-bins in the town center is supplied by Wybone Ltd. The bins have separate compartments for cans, plastic, and paper, and will be strategically positioned near food retailers and eating areas.

During the trial scheme, the electric waste collecting electric vehicle will be seen regularly emptying split bins according to the center’s regular dumping and fly-tipping schedules.

Kirklees Council was able to fund the electric can through the Council Wide Initiative (CWI) Transport Allocation. This program was developed to support the use of cleaner fuels and encourage lesser use of cars. As in most of the council’s efforts, this project hopes to reduce carbon emission to a minimum.
