In 2012 Simply Waste Solutions made a commitment to use Vehicle Weighing Solutions (VWS) equipment on its fleet and, true to its word, the company has just installed ENVIROWEIGH, VWS’s market leading and highly accurate bin-weighing system, to its two new Dennis Eagle Olympus 23 refuse vehicles with Beta trade bin-lifts.

Simply Waste operates in the Greater London area and offers a host of waste management services including such as wheeled bin collections, skips, recycling, junk collection, confidential waste and hazardous waste. This is the company’s second order from VWS following the installation of underbody weighing systems and one bin-weighing system to 6 refuse vehicles in 2012.

James Capel, Managing Director, Simply Waste Solutions said: “Our goal is to minimize the use of landfill and maximize recycling. The cost of disposing waste is such that we need to know exactly what is being collected from each customer. The ENVIROWEIGH system from VWS allows us to weigh to the exact 1kg.  It is reliable, accurate and integrates well with our IT systems so we can provide detailed reports to our customers. We have always been impressed by the quality of products, service and back-up from VWS, and we are very happy to have them as our weighing equipment provider.”

​

The No 1 vehicle weighing supplier for many local authorities and private contractors in the UK, VWS design and manufacture their own load cells and weighing systems here in the UK.  The ENVIROWEIGH bin weighing system from VWS is the first truly British dynamic ‘weights and measures approved’ system of its kind, and is taking the market place by storm.

Julian Glasspole, Managing Director, VWS said: “Feedback from the market place is showing our system to be the most reliable, adaptable and accurate bin-weighing system available.  We’ve developed data collection, storage, transfer and manipulation solutions to suit any IT infrastructure and the system can interface with the latest software, GPS and telemetry technologies for remote monitoring.”

VWS also fitted a complete four-camera digital recording system to each vehicle to help Simply Waste monitor their vehicles, as well as mitigate accidents and false insurance claims.

VWS belongs to a family of complimentary British companies known collectively as AW.co.uk specialising in the design, manufacture, installation and servicing of load cells, weighing and traffic monitoring systems.
