Contamination in kerbside recycling is expensive and hard to police. Councils know it is happening but have no practical way to see it at the scale of a collection round — inspecting bins by hand does not work across tens of thousands of properties.

CleanBins uses computer vision on truck-mounted cameras to identify contaminated bins automatically as they are emptied, at better than 98% accuracy. More than 600,000 collections have been analysed across six councils, and the platform is run in partnership with the NSW EPA.

Unusually for us, Alliance both built and operates CleanBins — it is a platform business we run, not only software we delivered.
