GAO Case Studies

New York City, NY, USA

ICity Tek deployed its smart bin sensors across selected boroughs in collaboration with local waste contractors. The result was a 27% reduction in overflow incidents and a 15% drop in operational fuel costs due to optimized route management.

Austin, TX, USA

Our waste management system was integrated with a city-wide sustainability program. It led to data-driven scheduling and public cleanliness index improvements, reinforcing Austin's push toward green smart city initiatives.

Toronto, ON, Canada

In partnership with municipal authorities and GAO RFID, ICity Tek helped implement a scalable sensor-based waste management network across Toronto’s downtown. This resulted in improved collection response times and a reduction in community complaints.
