Waste management involves a number of departments, organisations and collection points.

For members of the public, the information is scattered and complex. Finding the right answer takes time… and generates enquiries that you have to deal with.

A real headache

What should I do with 

this object?

Que faire avec cet objet ?

Guidelines vary depending on the item, the region and the services available

Where and when should
we take action?

Opening hours, collection days and drop-off points are listed on several platforms

To whom should the

Missed collection, a broken or bulky bin: requests do not always reach the right department.

No more repetitive requests

A single point of entry

But also …

Municipal services and enquiries

SnapCycle can recognise when an item requires a specific collection service – such as bulky waste, textiles or electronic devices – and then allow residents to access the service directly or submit a request.This category may also include missed collections, damaged bins and requests for replacements.

Commitment and awards

Quizzes, challenges, leaderboards and eco-friendly discounts help to raise public awareness, maintain engagement and showcase local businesses and initiatives.

The benefits for the local authority

Make the services you 

already offer work more effectively.

Make the services you already offer work more effectively.

By making it easier to access the right information

and the right service, SnapCycle helps

citizens take the right action more

quickly.

This can help to ensure that

items are channelled more effectively
towards recycling, composting,

donation, repair or specialised

channels, rather than landfill.

For municipal teams, a

more streamlined experience can also reduce
the need for searches, redirects and

repeated enquiries to 311 or the

relevant departments.

The benefits

Better guidance for citizens:

They find it easier to locate the right

instructions, the right place or the
right service.

Better-targeted subjects

More items can be

channelled into the correct recycling
stream rather than being sent to landfill.

Less friction for teams

Citizens have more

direct access to the information
and services they need.

A platform designed

to adapt to each region.

SnapCycle has been built on a flexible architecture that allows the platform to be adapted to the rules, timetables, drop-off points, services and partners specific to each local area.

Our team then works with the local authority to integrate its information, validate the content and prepare for the launch.

Our key milestones

Understanding the region

Compile the rules, services,

timetables and local resources.

Configure and validate.

Adapt the platform and confirm

the accuracy of the content with the local authority.

Preparing for the launch

Finalise the app and support the teams in

launching it online and communicating with the public.

Deployment!*

*Deployment can usually be completed in around four weeks,

depending on data availability and validation times.

The ecosystem and partners

A single

citizen-led initiative.
With several partners
behind it.

SnapCycle directs residents to the right service, regardless of
which organisation is responsible for it.
The platform can integrate municipal regulations and services,
waste collection operations, as well as the programmes and drop-off points
run by environmental organisations.

Local authorities

They can integrate their own rules,

services and local resources.

The collectors

They can include collection schedules,

special collections, missed collections

and enquiries relating to bins.

Eco-organisms

They can incorporate their guidelines,

their drop-off points and their

recycling schemes directly into the citizen’s journey.

Evidence from
the field

Tricentris’s on-the-ground expertise, its understanding of municipal realities and its close ties with local communities contribute directly to the development of Circuit.





With a network of over 200 local authorities, Tricentris is a key strategic partner in the development and expansion of Circuit in Quebec.
