GPS DEVICES * USA - Save time, fuel for garbage trucks
Clemson,SC,USA -USA TODAY, by Ron Barnett -11 Aug 2008: -- A couple of years ago, when Jim Oswald was an IT consultant for the city of Clemson, S.C., he and his colleagues in the public works department started talking trash... Even before gas prices went to $4 a gallon, they were looking for ways for the city to save fuel on garbage collection. Trucks were burning gas driving around looking for big items too large to be collected on regular routes... Oswald and Taji Richardson came up with the idea for a GPS device that would give drivers who handled the regular routes a touch screen on which they could note where the big items were located. Trucks picking up the large items would know exactly where to go...
