WASTe & Recycling
See every stop. Prove service. Get full visibility.
Manage safety, operations, and spending with one integrated platform designed for waste and recycling fleets.
Without waste management fleet software, unseen problems can create massive risks.
When you can’t see what’s happening on routes, where assets are located, and what equipment is being misused, it’s nearly impossible to know how to improve your operations.
No visibility, more problems
Is service occurring on time? Where did that dumpster go? Do your trucks need maintenance soon? Not knowing affects your bottom line.
The stakes are high
You may be operating near pedestrians, residential homes, cyclists, or kids. How can you make sure your team doesn’t put people at risk?
Customers expect more
If bins aren’t returned properly or property gets damaged, customers are unhappy. And if your drivers are falsely accused, you don’t have proof to exonerate them.
Manage operations clearly and drive safely with the all-in-one waste management fleet tracking platform.
Get visibility into routes, asset locations, and service completion in a platform built for the waste and recycling industry.

“Now we can see all our operations in one place, whether it’s compliance or safety, maintenance or asset tracking. Having 360-degree visibility into our operations saves us time and improves productivity.”
“The AI Dashcams remind our team to slow down, back off, or pay closer attention. They reinforce the safety lessons we teach in our safety meetings. Working in safety, we have to break bad driving habits. We have to remind people that there are better ways of doing things. And that’s what the Motive AI Dashcams do.”
“With Motive, we can do everything right from one platform. We don’t have to send out paper documents and verify that they got there. We just pull it up on the dashboard and look at it. It’s awesome.”
Frequently asked questions
What areas of the waste & recycling industry does Motive support?
Motive serves solid waste & recycling (e.g., residential, commercial, industrial, construction) and environmental services (e.g., contaminated water, hazardous materials).
What kinds of waste & recycling vehicles does Motive support?
For solid waste & recycling:
- Front loaders (heavy dumpsters, industrial/commercial)
- Roll Off (large heavy dumpsters, industrial/commercial)
- Side loaders (modern, lower labor)
- Rear loaders (higher labor, good for dense cities)
- Roll off trucks
For environmental services fleets:
- Water trucks
- Hazmat units
- Industrial vacuum & sucker trucks
How does Motive verify proof of service for missed pickups or bin placement disputes?
With the Motive AI Dashcam and AI Omnicam, fleets can capture 360° HD video in-cab, on the road, and around the vehicle to verify trash hauling and other services, as well as exonerate drivers when disputes arise.
Waste and recycling teams can pair this video with GPS, geofences, and PTO status to confirm exactly when and where service occurred.
Can Motive track dumpsters and other non‑powered assets?
Yes. Motive tracks industrial and commercial dumpsters to prevent loss, recover misplaced containers, and improve utilization. Waste companies commonly lose track of roll‑offs after rentals expire or when dropped at the wrong site, so Motive provides continuous location and status to curb loss and misuse.
You can also locate yard equipment like forklifts at recycling facilities.
How do AI dash cams reduce risk for waste and recycling fleets?
The Motive AI Dashcam detects 15+ unsafe behaviors, including close following, cell phone use, and drowsiness. It delivers real-time alerts and post‑trip coaching to help prevent incidents.
The AI Omincam provides video coverage on the sides and rear of the vehicle, keeping sideswipes rear-end collisions from chipping away at your bottom line, as well as expediting driver exoneration.You can also locate yard equipment like forklifts at recycling facilities.
How does Motive improve driver and crew safety in tight urban and industrial environments?
AI Dashcams deliver coaching, exoneration, and collision reduction, while the AI Omnicam brings 360° visibility for training, exoneration, and service verification — critical when crews operate near pedestrians, cyclists, tight alleyways, and heavy equipment.
What makes Motive different from other waste & recycling solutions?
Motive is the only platform that unifies safety, operations, and finance into one platform. Customers get video (AI Dashcam and AI Omnicam), vehicle and asset management, advanced location services, availability and downtime tracking, spend management, and driver documentation — all backed by unrivaled AI accuracy and faster time to value.
