Frequently Asked Questions
When well-intentioned recyclers mistakenly assume the correct container for an item, contamination occurs. Our Waste Wizard tools give residents the waste and recycling education they need to correctly dispose of their items, while our Waste Sorting Game teaches people by testing and training their understanding of recycling options. With the data collected in the resident app, you can build targeted campaigns that change behavior and engage your community effectively.
Providing residents with digital recycling and waste education tools not only improves your citizen experience and recycling rates, but it also saves money. Digital web tools and waste managment apps cut the cost of answering inbound calls by letting residents search for collection dates and see how to dispose of items properly without speaking to your staff. On top of that, there are additional savings from lower contamination, less printing, and fewer missed collections. We have an ROI calculator that can quantify these savings for your organization.
Static, printed content is susceptible to becoming outdated, easily lost or recycled, and it contributes to a negative environmental impact through printing. By utilizing our waste management education tools, you can stay connected to people in real time, promptly informing and educating them about new and important changes within your programs, without creating the excess waste that comes with every new set of leaflets and posters. Additionally, you can easily access detailed statistics and analytics on the most searched items and more, providing valuable insights for your waste management community outreach initiatives.
