We’re thrilled to partner with the City of Atlanta and support their journey to more efficient, data-driven waste operations. As detailed in this article (originally published by RouteFifty), Routeware’s platform is being used by Atlanta’s Department of Public Works to: - replace paper maps with in-cab tablets - monitor daily route completion - optimize resource deployment - support planning across trash, recycling, and yard waste The results? Better visibility, higher operational efficiency, and a foundation for smarter growth. If your organization is looking to modernize waste management, this case is worth a read. 🔗 https://bit.ly/46SeUjo #Routeware #SmartCities #WasteManagement #PublicSectorInnovation #Atlanta #RouteFifty #MunicipalTech #DigitalTransformation

Curbside recycling contamination isn’t just an environmental issue — it’s an operational and financial drag on municipal waste systems. Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA)'s latest report confirms that cart tagging and non-service enforcement can reduce contamination by as much as 59%. In our latest blog, we explore how Routeware’s platform directly supports these best practices. From in-cab cart tagging and photo audits to dashboards that flag repeat offenders, we help waste & recycling leaders: - audit and reduce contamination by route/zone - enforce service rules with transparency - deliver data-driven outreach to residents - integrate results into sustainability reporting If your team wants to move beyond guesswork and build a cleaner, more efficient recycling program, this is a must-read.
