Problem

Despite an increase in smart tech like bin sensors and truck cameras, waste operations still face:

  • Static scheduling with slow planning and no real-time updates

  • Scattered data systems with reactive decision-making

  • Weak communication between clients and operators

  • Lack of monitoring for contamination, missed pickups, and overfill
