Field notes

The tool models a drop-off network from a depot and site-level inputs including bin capacity, expected daily pounds, and service time. Collection can follow weekday schedules or a fullness threshold, after which the simulator reports route mileage, truck loads, overflow, labor hours, and operating cost. A Stamford example with 13 collection locations is available for inspection and can be reset or edited before running.
