\nThe agreement will put Rubicon\u2019s smart city software at the heart of Miami\u2019s Department of Solid Waste. Rubicon will help the City\u2019s Department of Solid Waste transition from largely manual and paper-based processes to a fully digital operation as part of Miami\u2019s resilience planning efforts. The City will use Rubicon\u2019s technology to balance its waste and recycling routes to streamline collection, track material and tonnage on its bulky trash routes, and reduce missed pickups and unnecessary go-backs. With newly-created routes in place, the Department of Solid Waste will be able to closely monitor route performance, identify areas where waste and recycling services can be improved, and make data-driven decisions to enhance route efficiency and better serve the Miami community.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe goal of Miami\u2019s Department of Solid Waste is to promote a safe, clean, and healthy environment while delivering a comprehensive, cost-effective, and environmentally sound solid waste management service for our residents,\u201d said Francis X. Suarez, Mayor of Miami. \u201cI look forward to working with Rubicon alongside the great men and women of our Department of Solid Waste to improve our city\u2019s operations and give the residents of Miami the most efficient waste and recycling collection experience possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nWith a population of 442,241 and growing rapidly, Miami is a global technology and sustainability hub. In conjunction with the City\u2019s work with Rubicon, Miami is looking to lead the way in becoming the most sustainable city in the world. The City has pledged to become carbon neutral by 2050, and in 2022 it announced that it had achieved LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold certification. LEED, created by the U.S. Green Building Council, is the world\u2019s most widely used green building rating system.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cRubicon is dedicated to helping cities become smarter, more efficient, and more effective,\u201d said Conor Riffle, Senior Vice President of Smart Cities at Rubicon. \u201cMiami is one of our country\u2019s most unique and culturally significant cities, it is a global tech hub, and we are thrilled to bring Rubicon\u2019s unique technology to the City to power a core service: waste and recycling collection. Rubicon\u2019s technology products will help the City of Miami better understand and meet its citizens\u2019 needs, create a stronger economy, and be more prepared for future challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n
