RecycleBank, Routeware Collaborate to Boost Efficiency of Program

RecycleBank announced that it is collaborating on a joint marketing agreement with Routeware, Inc.,
a provider of automated waste solutions. This agreement will offer municipalities and private haulers technology that keeps recycling easy for residents and both fast and economically responsible for municipalities and waste haulers.

Routeware, Inc. has developed a system that employs GPS technology that can accurately validate that a household has participated in the RecycleBank program. Trucks are equipped with an in-cab touch screen monitor to provide driver validation combined with GPS technology to correctly identify a household collection. No additional time is needed as this works during the pick-up process. Information is then transmitted to RecycleBank servers and households receive their earned Points.

"We are excited to be partnering with RecycleBank and their groundbreaking approach to recycling," said Robert DeKoning, president and CEO of Routeware. "With the new Routeware/RecycleBank relationship, we will be able to measure recycling participation on a per-household basis, allowing consumers to enjoy RecycleBank’s innovative rewards program. This expanded solution allows municipalities and haulers to improve their recycling programs using both RFID and non-RFID technology solutions, leading to a fast and valuable return on investment. This partnership gives the municipality and the hauler the opportunity to reward their customers through the RecycleBank program and themselves through increased productivity."

"Many municipalities already use a cart system to collect recyclables from households, so the Routeware solution becomes an easy way for haulers and communities to offer recycling with minimal added costs," said Scott lamb, COO of RecycleBank. "Communities can become ‘RecycleBank Ready’ with ease and simplicity, while knowing the technology will accurately record and validate a household pick-up."
