We\u2019ve just hit a major milestone\u2014and it\u2019s all thanks to the cities, towns, and waste haulers who\u2019ve partnered with us on the journey.<\/span><\/p>\n

Routeware has officially delivered <\/span>over 2 billion recycling reminders<\/span><\/b> to residents across the globe. That\u2019s 2 billion nudges to put out the right bin on the right day. 2 billion chances to avoid contamination. 2 billion steps toward smarter, cleaner communities.<\/span><\/p>\n

And here\u2019s the kicker:<\/span>
\n<\/span>It took us <\/span>ten years<\/span><\/b> to deliver our first billion.<\/span>
\n<\/span>It took us <\/span>less than three<\/span><\/b> to deliver the second.<\/span><\/p>\n

Global Reach. Local Impact.<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

What started in a few Canadian communities has now expanded across <\/span>North America, Europe, and even Oceania<\/span><\/b>. With every new deployment, we\u2019re helping local governments and private haulers educate and engage their residents more effectively, reduce service confusion, and keep valuable materials out of landfills.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our total reach as of today:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 62,953,817 households<\/span><\/b> served<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • 102,189,978 residents<\/span><\/b> reached<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Powered by Purpose-Built Tools<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

          Behind these 2 billion reminders is a powerful suite of customer education and outreach tools designed to help waste operations deliver the right message at the right time. These tools include:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          • Waste Wizard<\/span><\/b>: A searchable database that helps residents learn how to properly dispose of thousands of household items.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  Cities used to rely on printed mailers and outbound calls. Now, people know exactly what goes where, and they tell us they love the convenience of the reminders. It\u2019s made a huge difference.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
