Case Study: City of Houston improves solid waste management with Rubicon Smart City

City of Houston improves solid waste management over 10 years with Rubicon

The City of Houston's Solid Waste Management Department, under the leadership of former COO and Director Harry Hayes, faced a long-standing challenge of finding a technology vendor that could comprehensively address the issues within its waste management operations. After a ten-year search, the city selected Rubicon and implemented its RUBICONSmartCity platform to improve its services.

By implementing Rubicon's smart city technology, the city received crucial data that drastically improved how it handled its solid waste. The solution empowered employees and encouraged accountability. Hayes stated that Rubicon's technology was "head and shoulders above what anyone was able to demonstrate" and called it a "game changer for the city of Houston," thoroughly amazing him with the capabilities placed in the palm of his hand.
