Waste & recycling fleets

CloudCam iQ for garbage, recycling & street services.

Protect drivers, document every stop and prove service delivery with AI dashcams, multi-angle cameras and route history built for solid waste and municipal operations.

Ideal for residential & commercial garbage, recycling, roll-off, sweepers and municipal services.

High exposure, tight routes & constant scrutiny.

Your trucks operate in neighborhoods and business districts every day—around homes, cars, kids, pedestrians and cameras on every corner. Missed stops and claims are part of the job. The question is whether you have proof for each one.

Route density Fleet of trucks ready to start dense collection routes

Hundreds of stops per shift

Residential and commercial routes pack hundreds of lifts into a single run. You need proof of service and a way to spot patterns—not just individual stops.

Public exposure Map showing locations of waste and recycling vehicles in a city

Neighborhood visibility

Your trucks, logo and drivers are seen every day. One incident with a car, pedestrian or property line can quickly turn into calls, emails and claims.

Contracts & SLAs Route history visual showing completed streets and coverage

Proof of service

Municipal contracts and customer agreements expect on-time service, clean alleys and responsive issue resolution. Route history and video let you show exactly what happened.

From cab to alley: video & data for every turn.

CloudCam iQ combines forward-facing, side and rear cameras with GPS and diagnostics so safety, operations and customer service teams share one version of the truth.

Side camera covering lifts and curbside activity

On the vehicle

  • Forward-facing cameras for collisions and complaint review.
  • Side and rear cameras watching lifts, alleys and backing zones.
  • AI events for harsh driving, rapid reversing and close following.
Route history and event markers for waste collection trucks

On the map

  • Route history with breadcrumbs for each completed run.
  • Stop-level timestamps to verify “we were there” on a given day.
  • Event markers to flag speeding, harsh events and unusual detours.

CloudCam iQ can also integrate with existing routing and work-order systems, aligning vehicle and customer IDs via time and location so your team can find proof fast.

Visibility beyond the street: yards, landfills & transfer stations.

Waste doesn’t stop at the curb. Landfill equipment, transfer sites and yards carry their own risk profile—heavy iron, tight space and constant movement.

Yellow iron Different types of heavy machinery used in landfill and transfer operations

Compactors, dozers & loaders

Use rugged trackers and cameras to monitor movement near spotters, trucks and tipping areas, and to review any equipment damage or near-miss events.

On- and off-road assets

Combine truck telematics with off-road asset tracking so operations sees where equipment is, how it’s used, and whether it’s in the right place at the right time.

Right-sizing & planning

Use engine hours, movement and idle time to support decisions about fleet size, backup units and capital planning for future equipment.

Questions that hit customer service, city hall & your inbox.

These are the moments where having synchronized video and trip records changes the conversation—from “we’re not sure” to “here’s exactly what happened.”

Common scenarios we help you resolve

“You missed my pickup.”
Use stop-level GPS history and camera views to confirm whether the truck was on the street, what time it arrived and whether carts or dumpsters were out.
Vehicle vs vehicle or property damage.
Review forward, side or rear footage plus location data to see speed, position and whether the truck made contact with a car, fence, garage or other asset.
Cart contamination or overflows.
Capture images or clips when carts are blocked, overloaded or contaminated so your team can show customers and adjust education or fees.
Claims about aggressive driving.
Use AI events and dashcam footage to investigate, coach and, when appropriate, clear drivers when the video shows safe behavior.

How waste fleets use CloudCam iQ

  • Give customer service quick access to route history and clips for each address.
  • Support supervisors with real footage for coaching and recognition.
  • Document compliance with route completion and safety policies.
  • Provide municipalities with transparent reporting and evidence on disputes.
  • Identify recurring hot spots—tight alleys, school zones, blind corners—and focus training.

Many fleets start with a few high-visibility routes or districts, then expand coverage once they see the impact on claims, callbacks and route performance.

Service options that match daily, all-weather work.

Garbage and recycling trucks live in rain, snow, dust and tight alleys. Your cameras need to keep up. Choose between standard warranty or the CloudCam iQ service program for predictable coverage.

With service program

$5 per unit monthly

  • Warranty and out-of-warranty repairs and replacements included.
  • Unlimited warranty while enrolled in the program.
  • Helps keep safety-critical cameras running without surprise bills.

Without service program

  • Standard 3-year warranty on covered hardware only.
  • Customer is responsible for labor (CloudCam iQ can provide labor separately).
  • Out-of-warranty issues are not covered.

We’ll help you decide which routes and vehicles should enroll based on age, exposure and how critical they are to daily service.

Waste & recycling questions we hear most.

Contract managers, public works leaders and private haulers tend to ask a similar set of questions when they look at video and telematics for solid waste operations.

Can CloudCam iQ prove that we serviced a given address?

Yes. Route history, stop timestamps and camera views let you confirm whether the truck was there and what conditions looked like at that time.

Does this work with our existing routing system?

In most cases we can align vehicle and route data via time and location, so your team can quickly find the right day, run and segment for a complaint.

Will cameras hold up to vibration and weather?

We use commercial-grade hardware and mounting geared for refuse applications, with options for side and rear positions that see daily vibration and washdowns.

Can we restrict who can view video?

Yes. Permissions can be set by role so only authorized staff can view clips, with logging for who accessed what and when.

How quickly can we get started?

Many fleets start with a pilot district or a subset of routes and can be live in days, then roll out yard by yard as they see results.

What fleet sizes do you support?

From smaller municipal or private fleets to multi-yard regional operations. We’ll size the program and pricing to your footprint.
