Compliance and oversight

Enforcement capacity, without more headcount.

State and local governments enforce a growing body of circular economy regulation: recycling ordinances, diversion targets, hauler licensing, reporting mandates. The requirements keep growing. Review capacity does not. Submissions arrive as recurring reports from hundreds or thousands of businesses, and reading them by hand is where oversight runs out of hours.

Our AI processes those submissions as they arrive. It reads each report, verifies it against your requirements, and flags the gaps, anomalies and non-responses your team should look at. Staff time moves from reading paperwork to enforcement decisions, and you see compliance across the whole ordinance, on your own numbers, in real time.

We strengthen oversight. Judgment stays with your agency.

Program operations

Programs that cost less and deliver more.

Municipal recycling has become expensive to run. Contamination fills the stream with material that does not belong, every contaminated load costs more to sort and recovers less, and collection and processing costs keep rising while the market for recovered materials shrinks.

We automate both sides of the problem. On the resident side, recycling education and tools that reduce contamination at the bin. On the operations side, route optimization and logistics automation that bring collection costs down, with reporting and oversight the city gets from the system itself.

And recycling is only the start. The same approach launches and runs other circular programs, from reuse to hard-to-recycle collection, built by operators who have run them at national scale. If the agency would rather not run the program at all, our operators run it for you: operator-managed, one point of contact, with reporting you own.
