SYPNOSIS
Automated Waste Collection System (AWCS) is an environmental technology offering city grade piped
infrastructure for solid waste transport system via vacuum technology. The offering introduces a new
and unique method of transporting solid waste through sealed network of pipes and stored in sealed
container at a Central Waste Handling Facility (or Bin Centre) several kilometers away or around the
development. This process enhances the garbage collection process, and creating value to improve
urban living and working environment.
AWCS addresses 2 Key Concern Areas in Municipal Solid Waste Management:1). Waste Collection & Storage

Environmental nuisance such as noise, odors & pest due to open storage; Security threats and
traffic congestion due to door-to-door collections.

2). Waste Transportation

Spillage of leachate onto streets due to manual transfer & conventional rear loader garbage
trucks inadequately sealed.

AWCS will address the abovementioned problems as new developments are able to transport
municipal or household waste at high speeds via concealed reticulated underground pipes to CWHF
located more than 2km away. Hence, this will eliminate garbage trucks having to enter development to
collect the garbage. The waste container is also completely sealed thus guaranteeing that no leachate
spillage occurs during loading and transportation.

Environmentally friendly;
Saves valuable space thereby optimizing the economic value of a development;

Increases design and architectural freedom;

Recoverable cost;

Invisible (concealed), practical (automated) & hygienic (sealed);

Recognized by GBI and BCA Green Mark as an Innovative Technology;

Faster removal with consolidation of waste;

Among other benefits of AWCS are as follow:-

Provides upmarket image; and

Visionary and future ready technology.

Similar to utilities such as water, sewerage, gas and power, it is the envisioned the current
conventional way of handling waste will be replaced with AWCS for all new developments. Currently,
many new exclusive districts such as Financial Districts, Knowledge Cities, Class residential and Class
Commercial Buildings in the world today are implementing as a typical standard infrastructure
system.
