The Waste Edge 200 User allows users access by entering an ID number on the monitor keypad shown in Exhibit 4-8.

Example of Waste Compactor Security and Monitoring Device The Waste Edge 200 has a one-time cost of $2,595 per compactor. Installation is straightforward but would require a couple of hours by Town staff. Upgrades to this system are available that allow remote access to data through an analog phone line. The cost for the upgraded system is $2,757 per compactor and $1,675 for software. Upgrades can also include the use of TrashPass keys which utilize a digital chip to allow access to the waste compactor. These provide an added level of security since the keys cannot be duplicated and lost keys can be locked out. 4.4 CONCLUSIONS AND RECO MMENDATIONS A summary of recommendations for improving the Town’s existing solid waste collection system are as follows:  Implement a partial transition to fully-automated residential waste collection for a select route or routes in a pilot phase study planned for FY 2014-15.

This type of vehicle costs approximately $250,000, compared to the Town’s current 18 to 20-cubic yard semi-automated rear loading vehicles, which have a budgeted replacement value of $139,000.Following this pilot study, SCS believes the Town may transition most of the existing routes within 2 to 4
