Congratulations VICINITY CENTRES – First in Australia to install TOM the Smart Compacting Bin.

Chadstone Shopping Centre, locally known as ‘The Fashion Capital’ has always led the field in Design and Innovation so was the ideal site for the introduction of TOM, the new to Australia and one of a kind Smart Compacting Bin for public spaces. So when Vicinity Centres approached us to trial TOM before the first units hit our shores we couldn’t wait to get them in.

Installing at Chadstone, 2 weeks prior to Christmas, in the new food court of the largest shopping centre in the Southern Hemisphere was always going to be a challenge but one TOM relished. TOM hit the ground running and immediately there was considerable load taken off the cleaners. With an estimated 25 bin empties/day saved per location on the busy days, the cleaners were able to clear more tables and get more patrons through a fresher environment.

TOMs coloured LED indicator strip and modem-based communication pack also ensured that everything was in order and serving the customers were the main priority.

So what did the customers think? ..... TOM was a hit. Kids stared in awe, parents took photos, and everyone enjoyed the ‘touch free’ bin that opened automatically on approach.

Congratulations to VICINITY CENTRES for their courage and attitude towards INNOVATION and SUSTAINABILITY, it has surely made a difference already.

So if you want to meet TOM, drop into Chadstone (Vic) or Chatswood Chase (NSW) and ask for TOM.
