Managing Autumn Waste: Challenges and Solutions

Introduction
Autumn — a season of transition and transformation — brings with it a challengethat is often underestimated: the management of seasonal waste. Fallen leaves,hedge trimmings, public space cleaning, and preparing industrial sites forwinter are all activities that lead to a significant increase in waste volumes.
In a context where human and material resources are limited, how canmunicipalities efficiently manage these waste flows while meeting their environmental commitments?

The Main Challenges of Autumn Waste Management

A sharp increase in seasonal volumes
Green waste represents several million tons each year in France. During autumn,local authorities face a considerable rise in these volumes, often concentrated over just a few weeks.

More frequent and costly trips
When containers quickly reach their maximum capacity, collection rotations multiply, resulting in higher logistical costs and increased CO₂ emissions.These additional trips strain municipal budgets and hinder carbon neutrality goals.

How to Optimize Autumn Waste Management

On-site compaction
One of the most effective ways to handle this seasonal overload is to actdirectly at collection sites. Using our Packmat systems helps reduce waste volume before transport, there by limiting the number of rotations and associated emissions.

Prioritizing electric and autonomous equipment
Our electric Packmat models are a major asset for urban areas and sensitive sites. They enable efficient action while meeting local environmental requirements.
