Leduc reports 50 percent contamination reduction
The City of Leduc used Prairie Robotics' smart-camera platform in its organics inspection programme and reported a 50 percent contamination reduction.
Evidence notes
- Truck-mounted cameras scanned organics as carts were emptied and associated flagged items with households using location data.
- The programme sent 870 personalised educational postcards during 2023 while blurring unrelated image content for privacy.
- Leduc reported that organics contamination fell by half over the pilot period.
Company context
