When a city starts to proactively address the issues it learns about from real-time data collected in the field, quality of life improves, citizen confidence increases and communities grow stronger.<\/p>\n
Here at Rubicon, our goal is to work with cities across the country to help them move towards zero waste and achieve their respective sustainability and quality of life goals. It\u2019s core to our mission to end waste, in all its forms \u2013 from physical waste to wasted time, wasted energy and wasted tax dollars. This can be a truly daunting task \u2013 and that\u2019s why cities call on Rubicon as their partner.<\/p>\n
Our RUBICONSmartCity technology \u2013 now available on the\u00a0Amazon Web Services marketplace<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 has been rolled out in over 25 cities across the U.S., including Montgomery, AL; Santa Fe, NM; Columbus, GA; Tyler, TX; West Memphis, AR and our hometown of Atlanta, GA.<\/p>\n Just as we work to help households, haulers, and cities work more effectively and efficiently, we are constantly working to improve what we do and how we do it \u2013 including welcoming outside perspectives from those who have been working inside cities to understand their challenges, their obstacles, and their opportunities.<\/p>\n Rubicon is proud to\u00a0announce<\/a>\u00a0that two former mayors with sterling credentials in\u00a0smart city and sustainability efforts<\/a>\u00a0are joining the Rubicon family. Former Indianapolis Mayor, former New York City Deputy Mayor, and internationally recognized smart city expert, Stephen Goldsmith, has joined Rubicon\u2019s Board of Directors, and former Philadelphia Mayor and sustainability policy champion, Michael Nutter, has joined Rubicon\u2019s Advisory Board.<\/p>\n Mayor Goldsmith was an early thought leader in the growing smart city movement and has written often on issues related to data-driven government and making technology work better, faster and cheaper in the municipal world. Mayor Goldsmith\u2019s\u00a0blog\u00a0<\/a>\u2018Better Faster Cheaper\u2019 is one of the most widely read resources today around smart city trends and issues. \u00a0Mayor Nutter \u2013 fresh off his successful\u00a0book<\/a>\u00a0\u2018Mayor: The Best Job in Politics\u2019 \u2013 led an administration in Philadelphia focused the environment and sustainable development. \u00a0He created the Mayor\u2019s Office of Sustainability during his very first term and led the creation of the city\u2019s comprehensive sustainability plan, Greenworks Philadelphia.<\/p>\n There are plenty of technology companies, waste and recycling companies, sustainability consultants and smart city planners out there today. Mayor Goldsmith and Mayor Nutter could have gone to any of those companies to lend their expertise \u2013 but they chose Rubicon.<\/p>\n True success comes from integrating diverse perspectives into one go-to-market strategy with the depth, industry experience, and knowledge to deliver solutions to customers of all sizes. That\u2019s Rubicon.<\/p>\n We are a technology company\u2014and we are thrilled to be collaborating with Mayor Goldsmith and Mayor Nutter to further help cities across the U.S. and the globe becomes the smartest places on the planet.<\/p>\n
