Pneumatic garbage collection is an innovative system that transports urban or private solid waste through a subway network of pipes that works by suction.
This method eliminates the need for traditional trucks, reduces odors and improves the hygiene and aesthetics of the city, helping to reduce emissions and minimize traffic and noise on the streets.
URD builds pneumatic waste collection systems for public and private institutions, reducing the impact of waste management and simplifying the process for municipalities, waste managers and users. URD systems are environmentally friendly; they promote recycling strategies and minimise CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.
Pneumatic collection will become the reference model in large or small high-density areas, both in public and private areas, due to its concept, modernity, quality of service, ecology and energy efficiency, in accordance with the new standards of cities.
Streets without traffic and noise nuisance, safer, cleaner, odor-free and pest-free.
Our urban pneumatic garbage collection system reduces the carbon footprint of waste collection by -60% and allows us to obtain valuable information on actual waste generation, recycling rates and opens the possibility of a fairer charge per generation to the citizen.
URD’s pneumatic waste collection systems are designed for cities and urban centers as well as for private sector facilities. Our pneumatic collection technology allows us to improve the process by automating all its steps, from collection, transport and subsequent management, thanks to our collection network and waste suction infrastructures. A solution that is here to stay. Here are some of the most common sectors where URD AWC works.
