A bilingual app could give residents clear access to collection schedules, optional reminders, sorting guidance, ecocentre information, and missed-pickup follow-up.
Residents often need to know when to put bins out, whether a schedule changed, where to bring a special material, and what to do when a pickup appears to be missed. Even when trucks or parts of the service are handled by contracted providers, residents experience the service as municipal. The City benefits from one clear tool for information, reporting, and exception follow-up.
Michael Kaufmann, founder of Auvant Technologies, is a Vaudreuil-Dorion resident. The approach is local, founder-led, bilingual, and focused on a clear first mandate rather than a large project that is hard to approve.
Upcoming pickups, schedule changes, accepted streams, and local instructions.
Collection reminders, special pickups, delays, changes, and relevant alerts only for residents who enable them.
A guarded assistant for questions like: does this go in garbage, recycling, or compost?
Accepted materials, hours, exceptions, and drop-off instructions.
Address, optional photo, bin type, and visible status follow-up.
