Rubicon’s smart city technology is now powering the City and County of Denver’s entire solid waste and recycling fleet of more than 150 vehicles, digitizing operations and enabling greater efficiency
Rubicon Technologies, Inc. (“Rubicon” or the “Company”) (NYSE: RBT), a leading digital marketplace for waste and recycling and provider of innovative software-based products for businesses and governments worldwide, today announced the successful launch of Rubicon’s technology across the City and County of Denver, Colorado’s (“CCD”) entire fleet of more than 150 solid waste and recycling vehicles, to help enhance the CCD’s residential waste and recycling services. CCD signed a five-year agreement with Rubicon at the end of 2022, and today’s news represents the first major milestone in the partnership.
Rubicon’s smart city product digitizes the CCD’s waste collection operation, transitioning the Solid Waste Management Division’s drivers from paper-based maps and manual routing to Rubicon’s software. Managers and supervisors across the department now have real-time insights into route progress, service completion, and any issues at the curb. Drivers can assist with each other’s routes in case of a breakdown, and receive updates to their routes as they happen. Department leaders can use analytics based on all of this data to identify problems and create solutions. All of these improvements will enable the Department to provide a more efficient and effective curbside collection service.
“We are thrilled to partner with Rubicon to bring the latest smart city technology to our solid waste and recycling services,” said Michael B. Hancock, Mayor of Denver. “This partnership is a continued testament to Denver’s overwhelming commitment to innovation and efficiency in delivering core public services to our residents, and I look forward to continuing on this journey with Rubicon to drive greater efficiency in our operations for years to come.”
“We are excited to work with the City and County of Denver to digitize its residential waste and recycling services,” said Conor Riffle, Senior Vice President of Smart Cities at Rubicon. “Working with the CCD, we were able to launch quickly after contract signing, a testament to the efficiency of the CCD’s workforce, and its enthusiasm to bring new technology products into its fold.”
