South Ayrshire Council has seen a fall in the number of missed bins as a result of technology introduced into its bin lorries.
Councillors heard that a new booking system for household waste recycling centres had tackled an issue of residents from North and East Ayrshire travelling to South Ayrshire to dump their rubbish.
Fiona Ross, service coordinator, grounds maintenance and bereavement, told a meeting of the Service and Partnerships Performance Panel that the new In-Cab system introduced to the refuse service in December had resulted in fewer missed bins and quicker processes for the likes of assisted collections.
