Three outcomes in 90 days
Cut costs. Cut complaints. Cut emissions.
Built for Australian and New Zealand councils running kerbside, public-space and FOGO programs that need defensible operating data — fast.
01
Reduce missed pickups
& overflows
See every bin in real time. Catch overflows, illegal dumping and missed services before residents call — and respond with evidence, not guesswork.
02
Stop emptying half-full bins. Use live fill data to right-size collection frequency, optimise routes, and dramatically cut fuel, labour and emissions.
03
Time-stamped Proof of Service for every emptying event — a defensible audit trail for contractor SLAs, resident enquiries and executive reporting.
Council case studies — Monash · Noosa · Cassowary Coast

How the pilot runs

We work with your team to choose 25 priority bins — high-complaint locations, public spaces, FOGO trials or contractor SLA validation.
step 2
Ship & install
Self-install kit arrives ready to go. Stick on the lid, scan the QR, online in minutes. Or we can quote install for you.
step 3
Monitor & alert
Matter Care Premium triages every event — fills, overflows, missed collections, tilts — and surfaces what matters to your crews.
step 4
Report & scale
Day-90 outcomes report with cost savings, diversion uplift, complaint reduction and a scale-up plan for council-wide rollout.
