The Honiara City Council’s (HCC) cooperate mission is “to lead and work in partnership to deliver high quality, sustainable, and resilient services, and prosperous Honiara Communities”.
With that mission in mind the Waste Management and Control Division aims to realize this mission by undertaking few administrative steps to improve its service and one of these key actions is partnering with SkyEye Solomon Islands to monitor and track its waste collection fleets who are doing waste collection for the city.
The Waste Management and Control Division have installed SkyEye on five (5) of its vehicles in the fleet and hope to add a further four (4) in the coming months.
This is a massive step towards ensuring that the division delivers the essential services expected of the team from the city residence and businesses.
The Division had noticed since the installation of the monitoring system that there is a vast improvement in field officers keeping up with schedules and ultimately the streets and residential zones being maintained with waste collection as scheduled.
Similarly, companies who have paid trade refuse fees to have their waste collected have seen a timely and consistent trend in the collection of their waste.
“The improvement in staff performance was a key indicator in this undertaking and the outcome has justified the Division’s push to have monitoring system installed in our fleets.
“The occasional positive feedback from residents, which was a rarity in previous years have also demonstrated the positive side of this monitoring system,” the Division said.
In general, there is more positive outcomes from staff performance, more efficient work output, and in the public relation front there is few but growing and gradual positive reactions from the public when SkyEye Solomon Islands were engaged to install monitoring systems in the Waste collection fleets and the Division aims to have more installed before the end of the second quarter of this financial year.
The Division wishes to encourage other companies and public institutions to consider the use of monitoring systems like SkyEye to ensure efficient service delivery for their clients or the public as the Division have first-hand experience of the upside of utilizing this readily available form of resource.
For the division ourselves, we hope to build trust and credibility between the division and the residence and businesses operating in the city by ensuring waste is efficiently and consistently managed, and to reach that stage, the installation of the SkyEye Monitoring system is one step in that right direction.
