Taking Care of the Trash

Featured Project

In this gamified training, residents earn their ​Waste Ace Certificate by passing four ​challenges presented by members of their ​communities.

The Problem

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 Solution: Game-Based Learning

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.


Results

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.
