PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Routeware, Inc., a leading provider of integrated technology solutions for the waste and recycling industry and Inc. 5000 company, today announced the acquisition of Wastech, Inc. the owner of the RUBICONSmartCity and RUBICONPro platforms.

"This is an incredibly exciting time for us, as we welcome the customers, people, partnerships and technology associated with RUBICONSmartCity and RUBICONPro to the Routeware family.

Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, and Director of Data-Smart City Solutions. "The data, technology and best practices available through these products are essential for efficient and effective waste and recycling collection."
