The Van Kaathoven Group consists of 3 divisions: Transportation, Processing and Sales. One of the core activities within the Transportation division is Collector .

Collecting waste is often a messy job. Adding value seems impossible, but we think that this can be achieved by the way we work (our procedures). It all starts by actively separating waste at the source. This way, the waste flows can be controlled, at lower costs. Waste separation and consequently weighing the separate waste flows, enable tailor-made services to reduce the costs as specific flows can be processed more cheaply than non-separated flows. Examples are separate collection of paper, foil, metals, wood, organic waste and, finally, remaining waste fractions, subdivided into “dry and wet” waste flows. Most waste collectors use fixed charge accounts, as a result of which too much is charged for collecting the waste as the container is never completely filled. We charge per weight, so you only pay for what we collect. Data processing is fully automated. The container is recognized by placing a chip with an ID number in the container, which is read by an onboard computer. The weight is measured automatically and all data are stored on the onboard computer. At the end of the working day, the data card is read at the office, after which the data is updated at the client level and saved on a central computer.

Furthermore, we are specialized in collecting pre-packaged food and non-food products. To process the contents properly, while protecting the environment and even at lower costs, these products are mechanically separated.
We create tailor-made solutions aimed at the internal management of your waste logistics. A wide range of waste collection solutions is available. As all our activities are recorded, we are able to keep you informed about your waste issues and we can look for possibilities to reduce your waste costs.
Collector is an addition to logistics; the collection data, number of emptyings, collected weights per waste type are all used to report to the applicable authorities.

Among our clients are local authorities and other public bodies, works associations, SMEs, from one-man businesses to large organizations and companies listed on the stock exchange.

The Van Kaathoven Group strives for socially responsible, complete solutions, and shares this knowledge with its customers through its unique way of working.
Good for you, good for the environment!
