When a driver sees a load that includes textiles like bedding and pillows, hoses, scrap metal, opaque bags, yard waste, electronics, hazardous waste, and food, he taps a button on the app and Mobile311 creates a data point, using GPS, within Mobile311. Once contamination is identified and recorded, Mobile311 automatically generates a work order that can be e-mailed to multiple addresses of the user’s choosing.

Dude Solutions’ Mobile311 mobile app allows the City of Greensboro, N.C., to collect data about recycling contamination from the field and then use the dashboard to track repeat offenders so corrective actions are taken. Red stars show households with the greatest contamination levels.
Greensboro, N.C., introduced one of the first single-stream automated recycling programs in the U.S. 22 years ago. However, we’ve struggled with contamination for several years.
Recyclables we deliver to ReCommunity, our long-time recycling partner, generates revenue for the city. Contamination drastically reduces the material’s value and causes significant financial, safety, and operational issues at ReCommunity’s plant.
The issue came to a head in 2015, when an ReCommunity audit revealed that our single field inspector was able to inspect only 5% of all 80,000 households. At 20%, the residential contamination rate was double the industry average.
