How to plan a deposit return point
Choose the location
Place the return point where people can easily find and access it. Assess indoor or outdoor conditions, user circulation, electricity and operational access before choosing a machine.
Estimate container volume
Record daily and peak container counts, material types and emptying intervals. Plan storage and collection around measured demand.
Design the operating process
Assign responsibility for emptying, cleaning, fault response and reporting. Confirm software integration and service requirements with your technical team.
Test before rollout
Agree acceptance criteria for recognition, handling and reporting. Test with real containers before scaling the project.
