Real-world results from councils and organisations using Voom to transform their waste management operations.
Empowering waste management with AI precision
Blackburn with Darwen sought to understand their waste set out throughout the entire Council area. Their goal was to enhance the efficiency of their collection service and improve set out and recycling rates through effective communication.
To effect meaningful change, their options were confined to either small-scale study areas or complex and costly in-cab or hardware solutions.
Understanding set out
Absence of relevant data
Limited affordable options
Blackburn with Darwen achieved comprehensive insight into set out rates area-wide, down to street-level detail by collaborating with Voom and using their ClearSight AI technology.
Every bin collection is geotagged, with key data like waste type, round identifier, weight, and timestamp.
The interactive portal enables Blackburn with Darwen to analyse and explore this data thoroughly. ClearSight AI leverages existing hardware and technologies, eliminating the requirement for additional equipment and software.
A detailed understanding of household set out rates was achieved across Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council's entire area.
Geolocated information was captured for every bin lift and for all waste types.
The online portal offers a simple and intuitive experience for data analysis and interpretation.

"The Voom portal is a great tool to look at how set out across wards, LSOAs and even down to the detail of individual roads differ."
"The resulting map-based insights enabled targeted interventions and smarter resource use."
"Based on Voom data, bin locations where bins are shared have been moved away from residual bins to help with better segregation of materials and increased uptake of recycling service."
