Case Study: Everland

Everland successfully eliminated overflowing bins and established a smart waste management plan to cement its position as the premier theme park in South Korea.

As the 17th most visited amusement park in the world with 6.3 million visitors a year (over 17,200 per day), preventing waste overflow is critical for the park’s image. Therefore it was typical for the park to schedule numerous collections throughout the day even during peak operating hours. Once CleanCUBEs were installed, its waste compaction feature allowed the park to postpone collections to the evening. CleanCityNetworks also empowered park staff to identify and remedy daytime overflow right away, keeping waste out of sight for guests.

January 2019

SOLUTION

conventional waste bins replaced with 252 solar-powered CleanCUBE smart bins
with the park’s zero tolerance for waste overflow, fill level thresholds were set to lower levels than default as a preemptive measure
park staff trained extensively on new bins, operational methods, and environmental goals

RESULT

using CleanCityNetworks to identify waste overflow, incidents minimized to an average of once a month for the entire park with 6 months recording no overflow incidents at all
massive savings in collections and operational costs
high-season: collections reduced 87% from once every 9.4 hours to once every 72 hours
mid-season: collections reduced 94% to once every 7.6 days
one-third reduction in waste management expenses
collections scheduled in the evening, out of sight from most guests
