Supporting communities toward higher-performing residual waste management

Supporting communities toward higher-performing residual waste management

The transition to waste management systems that are more efficient, more equitable, and more sustainable requires far more than new technologies.

It demands a deep understanding of collection operations, citizen behaviour, existing infrastructure, and the organizational constraints each community faces.

For more than ten years, the team behind Vertocube has supported municipalities, regional districts, and public organizations in designing and implementing smart collection for data-driven cart management with or without incentive-based pricing projects.

Our services enable communities to analyze their current situation, identify levers for improvement, and deploy solutions tailored to their reality.

Analysis and diagnosis of collection systems

Operational analysis to surface what the current system can’t show.

  • Hidden costs tied to cart management and collection
  • Cart-assignment and container-traceability issues
  • Contamination and non-compliance
  • Limits of existing technological tools

Design of Smart-Collection Systems, With or Without Incentive-Based Pricing

  • Feasibility analysis
  • Smart-collection project design
  • Lift-tracking technologies (RFID and AI-based systems, geolocation, anomaly reporting)
  • Collection data structuring
  • Adaptation of waste-management bylaws
  • Pilot design and implementation

Implementation of Smart Collection, With or Without Incentive-Based Pricing

  • RFP and interfacing requirements
  • Incentive-pricing model design
  • Lift-tracking mechanisms and cart-identifier systems
  • Integration with administrative and billing systems
  • Municipal team training and ongoing support

Structuring and governance of collection data

Keep data under public control and out of silos.

  • Structure and centralize collection data
  • Data-sharing protocols between actors
  • Standardize data formats
  • Improve data governance and ownership

Strategic support and innovation

Community-scale planning for what’s next.

  • Strategic planning
  • Evolution scenarios for collection systems
  • Innovation and demonstration projects
  • Coordination across municipal, regional, and institutional actors

Let’s work together!
