Case Studies
With +10,000 annual street cleaning requests, unhappy residents, and unsanitary streets, San Francisco was facing some serious waste challenges. In 2019, they embarked on a smart sensor journey with the Nordsense smart waste management system.
Project findings
80%
decrease in overflowing trash cans
66%
decrease in street cleaning service requests
64%
decrease in illegal dumping

In 2016, Copenhagen installed smart waste sensors in street bins across different areas of the city with varying activity levels. Smart waste sensors were installed to build a baseline for service optimization potential. It quickly became evident that transitioning to dynamic and event-driven waste collection was key to achieving optimal waste collection efficiency.
