Green Computing

Waste Management Thinks Green As part of its Think Green effort, Waste Management automated its weigh stations in the United States and Canada. An unattended RFID scale system recognizes vehicles as they approach, completes the appropriate transactions, and provides the necessary paperwork to customers. That cut operating costs by 80% because the system requires little administration. The green piece? Reducing vehicle idle times eliminates the unnecessary burning of thousands of gallons of diesel fuel every day. And it improves customer service, because weigh station automation allows for extended operating hours without an increase in labor costs.
