The Problem / Background
In the U.S, 292.4 million tons of solid waste was generated in 2018, out of which only 25 million tons were adequately disposed of. With the percentage of waste material increasing,the demand for an efficient, agile, and modern waste management solution has increased as well. The unimaginable amount of waste produced daily in the U.S (4.9 pounds per person per day) is perhaps the biggest reason for pollution and other critical health-related problems. Therefore, to modernize and reinvigorate the waste management industry, Waste Connection wanted to create an app to help the world get to zero waste.

Client Brief
Waste Connections decided to leverage modern technologies to solve one of the world’s biggest problems, ‘waste and garbage disposal.’ The app was intended to be an end-to-end digital platform that served as a database. It also needed to include features to help improve internal team operations, specifically, by helping drivers efficiently plan their routes for optimal trash collection, and relocation to the nearest transfer stations. To achieve this goal, they partnered with Tekrevol and created an app that simplifies waste management by harnessing the power of modern technologies.
Mission
Key Challenges
Waste Connections and Tekrevol realized that the current status of waste management is poor because industry processes and practices were outdated. Therefore, a proper medium that fostered an efficient way of waste collection to disposal was required. The only way to achieve such a medium was by harnessing the latest technologies to create an all-in-one solution for the industry. In a nutshell, the app was intended to be a strategic way of ensuring that waste management is carried out effectively. Here’s what we believed was missing in the waste management industry:
- Lack of accountability
- Poor waste management strategy
- Ineffective use of technology
