Taking Care of the Trash
Featured Project
Overview
In this gamified training, residents earn their Waste Ace Certificate by passing four challenges presented by members of their communities.
Project Elements
eLearning / Custom Graphics / Gamification
The City faced significant challenges with waste management, as residents were struggling with several key issues: improper recycling practices leading to contamination, overfilled trash carts, incorrect placement of carts on trash day, and improper disposal of hazardous or non-recyclable items. These problems not only led to increased operational costs for the City but also had environmental impacts, such as increased landfill waste and recycling loads being rejected due to contamination.
The City needed an effective way to capture residents' attention and encourage them to adopt better waste management practices.
The game was structured around four key modules, each corresponding to the main issues the City wanted to address. During each module, a neighbor asks for help from the learner and they have to help in various ways, such as sorting trash and recycling into proper bins, telling neighbors what to do with non-trash items, and placing trash collection steps in the correct order.
The City observed a reduction in recycling contamination and improper trash cart placement. The training became a model for other municipalities, showcasing the potential of gamification in civic education. The City won several awards for this training program including the STAR Outstanding Public Outreach & Environmental Education Award.

We selected Deanna through a RFP process. Her proposal was complete and well thought-out and was a true indicator of the service that followed.
Deanna was extremely thorough in her approach to walk us through all aspects of the project, which included concept development, script, character development, module design, testing and execution.
The process was seamless and we were thrilled with the outcome. Our “Taking Care of the Trash” module has received local, regional and national interest from other organizations that want to develop similar modules.
We had a very positive experience working with Deanna and Team and look forward to future collaborative projects.
