Most organizations have at least two waste services – landfill and mixed recycling – and due to the wide variation in rules determining which facility takes which materials, it can be challenging for organizations to understand and manage their own waste problem.
That’s why our approach – rooted in technology, data gathering and analysis, and digital tools – is essential. We help make waste truly visible and manageable for the first time through a number of platforms.
RUBICONPro
RUBICONPro™ is an “Internet of Things” solution that provides our commercial haulers with a wealth of tools and capabilities to help them efficiently manage their businesses: RUBICONX™ is an interactive app that enhances navigation capabilities while allowing drivers to flag items that might affect service. RUBICONY™, a plug-in dongle that connects to the vehicle’s diagnostic port, monitors vehicle and driver behavior, vehicle health, and service behaviors. Finally, our camera-based computer vision platform is starting to allow us to gather information without any manual input from drivers, collecting data points as the truck drives along its route.
Arming haulers with this technology enables us to read deeper into the operations of our customers and, in turn, provide better service and more strategic solutions.
RUBICONConnect
Designed to uncover actionable insights, RUBICONConnect™ gives our commercial customers a platform to understand their waste in greater detail – breaking down waste generation by location and stream to reveal how much waste there is, where it’s created, and how it’s currently being handled. For companies with a significant operational footprint, consolidating this information into a single data stream allows for quicker identification of opportunities for waste reduction and recycling. It can also promote greater compliance with company or regulatory environmental performance objectives.
We believe the power of data is critical in helping customers understand their waste challenge, allowing them to take specific actions to control, reduce, and eventually eliminate it.
RUBICONPremier
Rubicon recognized that our model of connecting haulers and their customers could be helpful to other countries and international businesses as they tackle their own missions to end waste. That’s why we developed RUBICONPremier™ as a cloud-based solution that integrates customers, haulers, and waste operations into a full suite platform.
One such partnership is with the Odakyu Group in Japan, a conglomerate that engaged us to help advance circular practices within the country’s waste and recycling industry. As part of this collaboration, Odakyu is using RUBICONPremier on a number of initiatives to help Japanese haulers improve operational efficiency. Through the partnership, Rubicon is helping Odakyu and the City of Zama develop new business opportunities while creating a more sustainable ecosystem and circular economy.

Solution Spotlights
In 2017, we launched RUBICONView™ – our proprietary recycling audit solution – in Atlanta. The initiative had several goals, including collecting better data on contamination of recycling loads and educating households on how to keep recycling from getting contaminated in the first place.
