Innovative Tools Help Cities Shed the “Dirty City” Stigma

One such technology suite, from Routeware SmartCity, that helps local governments everywhere run more efficient, effective, and sustainable operations has now been deployed in more than 150 customer cities. The scale and the amount of data that these operations generate is staggering: • More than 4,000 vehicles are running routes using Routeware SmartCity, with 40,000 unique routes scheduled and routed every month. • In addition, drivers and supervisors log 400,000 exceptions at the curb monthly and service 6 million individual customers monthly. • Over the course of the last month alone, 48 million pounds of waste and recycling have been managed through this digital solution.

• That translates to 5 billion pounds of waste and recycling that’s been hauled and digitally tracked in the past year.

This data provides insight into where the waste originated, where it was picked up, where it ended, and what happened on the way. Cities are maximizing this opportunity by taking additional action en route: scanning their recycling collection for contaminants in hoppers, identifying potholes along the way, or addressing 311 calls in real time.
