What We Do
Vertocube supports cities, regional districts, municipalities, and intermunicipal boards in designing and deploying smart collection and incentive-based pricing systems, also named S.M.A.R.T. (Save Money And Reduce Trash) and PAYT (Pay-As-You-Throw).
Collaborative Approach
Vertocube’s development is part of an innovation ecosystem bringing together municipalities, public bodies, research centres, and technology partners.
Several organizations have contributed to the evolution of these projects and to the thinking around smart collection and incentive-based pricing.
These collaborations have made it possible to test, document, and refine smart collection and incentive-based pricing approaches across a range of municipal contexts.
- Récolo (Portneuf intermunicipal residual materials management board)
- Gaspésie intermunicipal residual materials treatment board
- Éco Entreprise Québec
- More than 10 Canadian municipalities, ranging from small communities to large cities.
More Than Ten Years In Municipal Smart Collection
BinLogiQ grew out of more than ten years of work by EnviroRcube, the organization that has supported over twenty municipalities in their way toward deploying smart collection with or without incentive- based pricing projects.
That field experience identified a major obstacle: the data analysis for cart assignment is still too time-consuming due to fragmented and unintegrated data.
An Independent Platform For Municipal Waste Collection Data
Every project surfaced the same blocker — waste-collection data was fragmented across operators, vendor portals, and spreadsheets, and the tools to consolidate them were not designed for public ownership.
BinLogiQ was built to change that. One independent platform that turns operator data into municipal decisions — on carts, costs, pricing, and for behaviour change.
